Form and position

Brentford have won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five recent matches, most recently a defeat to Liverpool. A win here would lift them to thirteen points from eight games; Forest, who have won one, drawn one and lost three in their last five, would reach eight points with victory. The gap between the sides is five points, though both have played seven.

The market implies a 46.8 per cent chance of a home win, 27.9 per cent for the visitors and 25.3 per cent for a draw. Brentford met Liverpool a fortnight ago, while Forest lost to Arsenal in their most recent outing.

Recent meetings

The five most recent head-to-head fixtures have produced fifteen goals in total. Brentford have won two of those meetings and lost three, the most recent a defeat in January. Forest won both encounters before that, before Brentford won in May 2025.
