Match Facts
Brentford are unbeaten in their last five league meetings with Nottingham Forest (W2 D3) since a 1-0 home loss in January 2020 in the Championship.
Nottingham Forest lost 2-1 in this exact fixture last season – only twice before have they lost consecutive league visits to Brentford, doing so in April 1949 and August 2016.
Since their return to the Premier League last season, Nottingham Forest have conceded 29 goals in 12 away league games against London sides, an average of 2.4 per game. They lost 5-0 against Fulham on their last visit to the capital.
Brentford have lost seven of their last eight Premier League games (W1), including each of their last five in a row. The Bees last suffered a longer league losing run in March 1993 in the second tier (7), while only in April 1947 have they ever endured a longer such run in the top-flight (7).
Nottingham Forest have won their last two Premier League games, last winning three in a row in the division in May 1999. Away from home, the Tricky Trees could win successive top-flight outings for the first time since April 1995 under Frank Clark (run of 4).
Brentford have dropped more points from winning positions than any other side in the Premier League this season (20). Indeed, no side has lost more games than the Bees after scoring first this term (4), while they’re also one of six teams yet to win when conceding first.
Only Arsenal (9) have scored more headed goals in the Premier League this season than Nottingham Forest, with their eight headed strikes accounting for a league-high 33% of their overall goals. Meanwhile, Brentford (10) have conceded more headed goals than any other side this term.
Brentford’s Ivan Toney could make his return to the side following his ban from last season. He’s scored in all three of his league games against Nottingham Forest, while he’s also scored in each of his last three Premier League games at the Gtech Community Stadium.
Anthony Elanga has been involved in 42% of Nottingham Forest’s 24 Premier League goals this season (10 – 4 goals, 6 assists), with only three players being involved in a higher share for their side.
Nottingham Forest won 3-1 at Newcastle in Nuno Espírito Santo’s first away league game in charge. He could be the fourth Forest manager to win his first two top-flight games on the road, after Frank Clark (1994), Billy Walker (1957) and Fred Earp (1909).
