Head To Head

Forest have won four of their last 10 against Brentford, with the latter winning three times and three matches ending as draws.

Nottingham Forest Form

Nottingham Forest's excellent season is now just five positive results away from potentially ending in them securing Champions League football for next year.

With 60 points from 33 matches, they are just two points behind Newcastle in third with a game in hand. Victory in this one would see them move to within four points of Arsenal in second, with this a monumental achievement for Forest.

With a spot in Europe's elite competition within touching distance, I back Forest to notch their 10th home win of the season as they edge closer to ending their season in style.

Brentford Form

Brentford have proved tough to beat in recent weeks, and they come into this match on the back of a three-game unbeaten run after their 4-2 win over Brighton.

This victory followed a 0-0 draw with Chelsea and a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, with Brentford proving they can tangle with the best sides on their day.

While I expect Brentford to score in this one, they come up against a Forest side with a lot on the line. By contrast, Brentford are safe from relegation, while the European places are almost certainly out of reach. It may prove tough for Brentford to really motivate themselves for this one.

Verdict

Nottm Forest v Brentford

I am backing both sides to score in this one as Forest secure their 19th win of the season to stay in the driving seat when it comes to the European places.
