Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction: Can Either Side Build on Last Week’s Win? ...Middle East

Fulham are favourites for the visit of Nottingham Forest in the Premier League on Monday. Look ahead to the game at Craven Cottage with our Fulham vs Nottingham Forest prediction and preview.

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest: The Key Stats

Fulham are protecting a proud home record against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League when the sides face off on Monday night.

The Cottagers, who suffered late heartbreak to exit the EFL Cup quarter-finals at Newcastle United on Wednesday, have defeated Forest in five of their six games in the Premier League, triumphing in all three of their contests at Craven Cottage.

However, Marco Silva’s side have lost their last two home games. Since returning to the top flight in 2022, they have lost three in a row on home turf just once, doing so in April and May last season.

Moreover, Fulham have lost seven of their last nine Monday night fixtures (7pm or later) in the Premier League. But, more positively for the hosts, the exceptions were victories in their last two such games (against Wolves and Brentford).

Silva’s men have been involved in some entertaining contests of late, with Fulham both scoring and conceding in each of their last four Premier League games, and those matches produced a total of 20 goals (five per game).

One area Fulham will potentially look to exploit is corners. All seven of Fulham’s set-piece goals in the top flight this season have come via corners, with only Arsenal (nine) scoring more from such a scenario than the Cottagers.

Harry Wilson has been a man in form for Fulham. The Wales international has been involved in six goals in his last four Premier League games (three goals, three assists), including a goal and two assists last weekend in the 3-2 win at Burnley. Overall, he has been involved in eight goals this season (five goals, three assists), his second most in a top-flight campaign after 2023-24 (10).

Nottingham Forest may have a poor Premier League record against Fulham, but they have won four of their last six Premier League games (L2), more than they managed in their previous 18 (W3 D5 L10).

Last time out, Forest were convincing 3-0 winners over Tottenham and have scored 3+ goals in three of their eight top-flight games under Sean Dyche, as many times as Everton did in their final 49 matches when he was their manager.

Forest lost their first Monday game following their return to the Premier League in 2022 (a 4-0 defeat to Leicester City), but are since unbeaten in their last seven such contests (W4 D3).

Ibrahim Sangaré was involved in all three of Forest’s goals against Spurs last time out (one goal, two assists), having registered just two goal involvements in his first 42 Premier League appearances. The midfielder will not be involved here, though, as he and Willy Boly have both departed to represent Côte d’Ivoire at the Africa Cup of Nations.

Forest will hope to have Matz Sels and Nicolás Domínguez back for this game, but Chris Wood and Ryan Yates are unlikely to be involved.

Fulham remain without injured duo Rodrigo Muniz and Ryan Sessegnon, while Alex Iwobi, Calvin Bassey, and Samuel Chukwueze have all now linked up with Nigeria for the Africa Cup of Nations.

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Head-to-Head

As mentioned, Fulham have an outstanding record against Nottingham Forest in the Premier League, winning five of their six games against them in the competition, including all three at home.

It represents their highest win rate against any side they have faced more than twice in the competition (83%).

Forest’s three away defeats at Fulham have yielded an aggregate away score of 9-1. It is Forest’s worst 100% loss rate away from home against any opponent in the Premier League.

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Fulham’s record against Forest is impressive, and as such it is little surprise that the Opta supercomputer rates them as favourites, with a win probability of 44.4%.

The visitors, meanwhile, are given a 28.8% chance of emerging victorious at Craven Cottage, with the draw rated as a 26.8% possibility.

In terms of the season overall, Fulham’s predicted final position is quite varied given how bunched the actual table is, but right now their likeliest finish is deemed to be 15th (14.8%).

Dyche’s men are 16th in the table heading into MD17, and that is exactly where they are predicted to place (18.8%).
