Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Match Preview

Brentford won 3, drew 1 and lost 1 in the last 5 rounds. They have 47 points after 28 rounds played, ranked 5th in the Championship table. The top competition is very intense for one more year in Championship. The decline of the leading West Bromwich and Leeds in their last games, opened the opportunity for many sides to chase the straight promotion spots. At this time of the season things are still very difficult to predict. Brentford understands that and they need to win in this one to get a place closer in the top of the rankings.

On the other side, Nottingham Forest are right behind Brentford, having 1 point less. Their performance is also very good, in the last 5 rounds they won 3 and drew 2. Undoubtedly, Nottingham Forest target to promote in next season's Premier League. They are target to keep their place in the leading group, in order to compete for the two straight promotion tickets, or through the promotion playoffs. 

The head-to-head record between the two teams is very balanced. Each side has 3 victories in their last 6 meetings. But Brentford has an advantage at their home, they usually play very well here. I choose Brentford to win this match.
