Will Forest stumble again at Craven Cottage?
At Nottingham Forest, the change of coach is currently bearing fruit. Under Sean Dyche, who was appointed at the end of October, the team has clearly been on the up. The Reds have won four of their last six Premier League games (two defeats), celebrating as many victories as in their previous 18 games (five draws, ten defeats).
Nevertheless, the odds are not looking too good for Fulham against Nottingham. After all, the Cottagers have won all three of their previous Premier League home games against the Tricky Trees by a score of 9-1. Nowhere else in the Premier League does the club from West Bridgeford have such a poor 100% defeat rate as at Craven Cottage.
According to the top bookmakers, it’s likely to be a low-scoring match, but we think the opposite. Although Nottingham Forest have only scored six goals in eight Premier League away games, the Tricky Trees have improved considerably under Sean Dyche, especially in attack, scoring at least three goals in three of their last eight league games. Fulham, on the other hand, have scored a whopping 20 goals in their last four Premier League games – an average of five per game. There have always been goals at both ends. Therefore, the best value in our Fulham vs. Nottingham prediction is the combined tip on the double chance 1X with over 1.5 goals.
However, if you don’t want to rule out an away win for the Tricky Trees, who are on the rise, you can of course stick with over bets overall. In the Betano app, odds of 2.05 are available for over 2.5 goals in Fulham vs. Nottingham. Risk-takers can also get odds of 2.50 at Bet-at-home, where a Bet-at-home voucher is currently available, for a home win for the Londoners, who have won all three of their Premier League home games against the Reds so far with a goal difference of 9:1. However, these high potential winnings naturally come with a higher risk.
Fulham – Nottingham Head-to-head comparison / H2H record
Head to head: 47 – 28 – 33
A total of 108 matches have taken place between the two teams so far, with Fulham FC leading the head-to-head record very clearly with 47 wins. Not only have the Cottagers won five of their six PL games against Nottingham Forest to date, but they have also beaten the Tricky Trees in all three home games since the introduction of the Premier League, with a total score of 9:1.
Fulham – Nottingham Tip
Basically, our tip for Fulham vs. Nottingham is for the Cottagers, who have lost their last two home games in the top flight of English soccer in a row, but have won all three Premier League home games against the Tricky Trees so far.
The Reds have found their way back on track under Sean Dyche, beating Tottenham 3-0 last Sunday, but they also lost their last Premier League away game at Everton FC 3-0. The Europa League participants still have to prove that they can consistently look up the table again.
Considering that a total of 20 goals have been scored in the Cottagers’ last four Premier League games, we expect a high-scoring Monday night game. As we see a slight advantage for the home side, we recommend a combined bet on double chance 1X with over 1.5 goals.
