Nottingham Forest vs Fulham prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - September 28, 2024
One of the key fixtures in the sixth round of the Premier League will take place on Saturday at the City Ground, where Nottingham Forest will host Fulham. Here’s the match preview from the Dailysports expert team.
Nottingham Forest
For the Reds, this marks their third season in the Premier League, though last year presented significant challenges. Thanks to the appointment of Nuno Espírito Santo, Nottingham Forest managed to secure 17th place in the table, despite being penalized with a points deduction for financial fair play violations.
So far, the new season has been promising for Forest. In five rounds, the team remains unbeaten, having secured away wins over Southampton and Liverpool with identical 1-0 scorelines. Additionally, they have taken points from matches against Bournemouth, Wolverhampton, and Brighton.
Fulham
The Cottagers didn’t impress last season either, finishing in 13th place. The departure of their star striker, Aleksandar Mitrović, has made it difficult for Fulham to break down opposition defenses. They started this season with a narrow defeat to Manchester United, conceding the decisive goal in the 87th minute.
Despite that setback, Fulham bounced back, advancing past Birmingham in the League Cup before losing on penalties to Preston. In the Premier League, they have looked solid, registering victories over Leicester and Newcastle, while drawing with resilient Ipswich and West Ham.
