Battle of the Promoted Clubs as Nottingham Forest Meet Fulham
Nottingham Forest vs Fulham - 16/09/2022
5160
We have a reduced fixture list in the English Premier League this weekend but one of the games to be played is the meeting between Nottingham Forest and Fulham.
The match will be played on the 16th of September at the City Ground and the hosts begin the weekend in 19th place on 4 points while the visitors are in 10th place on 8 points.
Nottingham Forest did not play last weekend and therefore, their most recent fixture was at home against Bournemouth on the 3rd of September.
Having taken a 2 goal lead in the match, Nottingham Forest looked well placed to claim their second Premier League win of the season.
However, things went downhill in the second half and Bournemouth scored 3 goals, the last of which came in the 87th minute, to take maximum points.
That was a hugely disappointing result for Nottingham Forest and they have lost each of their last 3 games, all of which have been in the Premier League. There was a 2-0 home loss at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur and a heavy 6-0 defeat at Manchester City.
Trends show Nottingham Forest have won only 1 of their 6 Premier League games this season.
The win came at home against West Ham United but conceding goals is becoming a bit of a problem. Nottingham Forest have conceded goals in 5 of their 6 league fixtures this season, including 11 goals in their last 3 games.
Fulham make the trip to the City Ground on the back of a 2-1 defeat at Tottenham Hotspur two weeks ago. Having fallen 2 goals behind in the 75th minute, Fulham made things interesting by pulling a goal back in the 83rd minute but they could not find the equaliser. Nonetheless, it was another game where Fulham pushed a top team.
In terms of the Premier League, Fulham are undefeated in 4 of their 6 matches this season.
The two defeats have both been by a single goal at Arsenal and Spurs but there have been wins over Brentford and Brighton at home. Fulham have also picked up points in draws at home against Liverpool and away to Wolves.
Trends show both teams have scored in each of Fulham’s last 4 Premier League matches. There have been over 2.5 goals in each of those 4 games.
Team news and Nottingham Forest are without injured defender Omar Richards. They also have doubts over the fitness of Orel Mangala and Moussa Niakhate.
Fulham also have a defender missing, with Antonee Robinson due back in October. Manor Solomon are Harry Wilson are doubts.
Nottingham Forest have been struggling to adapt to life in the Premier League whereas Fulham have made a good start.
Based on that, the away team must be considered favourites to take maximum points, with both teams scoring and over 2.5 goals scored.
