Fulham vs Nottingham Forest - 06/12/2023
6329
Two sides battling it out down at the bottom of the Premier League will meet here as Fulham welcome Nottingham Forest to Craven Cottage as both look to steer further away from relegation ahead of Christmas.
Fulham are coming into this one down in 14th and off the back of a brutal loss to Liverpool on Sunday. It looked as if the club had stolen a point or a win on a number of occasions, as former Reds player, Harry Wilson equalised in the first half before Kenny Tete did the same in the first 45.
Bobby De Cordova-Reid looked to have won the game for Fulham, but two goals in the final five minutes handed Liverpool all three points.
Fulham did, however, defeat Wolverhampton Wanderers just before this with a brace from Willian that included a goal in the 94th minute from the penalty spot, as Alex Iwobi got the opening goal.
It's now 16 goals scored for Fulham and 26 let in too, meaning only Bournemouth have a worse defensive record for those sitting outside of the relegation zone right now, while only Burnley and Sheffield United have worse records too.
Marco Silva's men also have seven losses and only four wins on the board, but they are a healthy eight points above the relegation zone.
As for injuries for Fulham, Issa Diop won't come back for another week or so, but Adama Traore is facing a late fitness test and might get some game time here. Rodrigo is nearing a return and will also face a late fitness test.
Nottingham Forest have a few injury concerns of their own, as Taiwo Awoniyi continues to struggle with injuries and won't feature here or return until around February.
Willy Boly and Chris Wood are facing late fitness tests in this one, while Murillo Santiago and Danilo are still out of action for Forest.
Steve Cooper’s side are down in 15th and just two points and one spot below Fulham, meaning they are also only above the bottom three by six points.
Forest have lost three in a row recently since an excellent win at home to Aston Villa, as West Ham United defeated them 2-0 at the London Stadium before Brighton & Hove Albion edged out a 3-2 win in what was another comeback defeat for Forest. Everton also beat them last weekend.
Forebet now predicts a home win and over 2.5 goals.
