MONEYLINE | Nottingham Forest +290 |
A lot of eyes will be on Ivan Toney following his suspension for betting breaches. However, it could be worth siding with recent form when assessing the best Brentford vs Forest betting picks.
The East Midlands side have looked a far more competitive side since the appointment of Nuno Espirito Santo, and they could build on their victories in their previous two matches against a misfiring Bees.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Analysis
Brentford Preview
Huge questions will hang over Brentford when they return to Premier League action this weekend. The Bees have quickly faded this term, and wins have been in incredibly short supply. They come into the latest round of matches sitting 16th in the standings, and just three points above the bottom three spots.
Their form coming into this Brentford vs Forest matchup would be a massive concern, as the Bees have suffered defeats in seven of their last eight matches. That includes losses in each of their last five in the Premier League.
Brentford haven’t endured a longer winless sequence since gong seven without a victory while in the second tier in March 1993. Meanwhile, they haven’t endured a longer winless streak in the top-flight since going seven without a win in April 1947.
But, their chances this weekend will be aided by the return of one of last season’s leaders in the EPL player stats. Ivan Toney makes his long-awaited return for the Bees after missing the entirety of this season due to a betting ban, but he is in contention to start against Forest.
Nottingham Forest Preview
Nottingham Forest ultimately decided to roll the dice in December and parted company with Steve Cooper. However, the decision has been vindicated, as Nuno Espirito Santo has helped guide the East Midlands club clear of the relegation places after winning each of their last two matches.
Those results mean that Forest come into the latest round of EPL matchups sitting four clear of the drop zone, and another victory this weekend could see them rise a further place in the league standings.
However, they continue to rank among the lowest scorers based on EPL team stats, having scored just 24 goals in their 20 matches this term. The Nottingham Forest defense has also been breached too easily in recent games, as they have conceded five goals in their last four league matches.
But, their away record has been very solid recently after winning each of their last two. Forest haven’t recorded three straight victories on the road in the top division since May 1999. Despite being outsiders in the EPL odds, they could be good value to end that streak.
Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Head to Head
The Bees are unbeaten in their last five league matches against Forest since suffering a 1-0 home defeat in January 2020. However, Forest haven’t lost on consecutive visits to Brentford since August 2016.
