Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Predictions

• Fulham have four wins in eight home league games.
• Forest have three defeats in their last five Premier League away games.
• Fulham have kept clean sheets in three of their four home wins.

Fulham and Forest looking to pull clear

Fulham entertain Nottingham Forest in Monday night’s Premier League fixture in a clash between two sides looking nervously over their shoulders.

The Cottagers went into this round of fixtures with a seven-point gap between themselves and the dropzone, white Forest are five clear of danger.

The visitors have been much-improved since Sean Dyche took charge but Fulham’s home record remains strong and that could be the key factor on Monday.

Home comforts key for Fulham

Fulham have been generally strong at home this season with four wins in eight games. The Cottagers have lost three of their last five at Craven Cottage, but they are their only league home losses of the season and all of those defeats came against sides currently in the top five.

Forest have been flying with six wins in their last eight games across all competitions but their road form has been less impressive. Forest have three defeats in their last five trips in this competition, including a comprehensive 3-0 defeat at Everton in their last road game.

Routine win for Fulham

Fulham have gone five games without a clean sheet but they can end that streak with a 2-0 victory over Forest on Monday.

Three of the Cottagers’ four home wins have been accompanied by clean sheets, while when Forest lose they usually fail to score and they’ve drawn blanks in all eight of their Premier League defeats this season – and seven of those losses have come by more than one goal.

Finally, Emile Smith Rowe stands out as a potential scorer for the hosts as the midfielder has hit some form in front of goal with two strikes in his last three league appearances.
