Comments and predictions for Brentford vs Nottingham: A stormy away trip

Latest Brentford vs Nottingham team information

Brentford's frustrations have been compounded by two more injuries to their defence. Ethan Pinnock left the field after just 14 minutes of the defeat to Newcastle with a hamstring injury, while Sepp van den Berg is out with a groin problem. Both are likely to join Gustavo Nunes (back), Rico Henry (knee), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Josh Dasilva (knee) and Mathias Jensen (thigh), leaving manager Thomas Frank with a difficult time in his line-up.

In addition, Igor Thiago was absent at St James' Park due to a serious joint infection that will keep him out of action for the foreseeable future.

Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, have defensive issues, with Murillo injured in the second half of their win over Aston Villa and Ryan Yates limping off at the end. However, the visiting manager hopes both will be fit for the trip to the capital. Alex Moreno, on loan from Aston Villa, will also return after being ruled out of contention to play against his parent club.

If Yates and Murillo recover in time, Nottingham Forest will only be without Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring).

Latest Brentford vs Nottingham football review

The next trip could be a worry for Brentford fans as the new year approaches. After narrowly missing out on points against Chelsea, Thomas Frank's side were beaten 3-1 by Newcastle in the EFL Cup on Wednesday. Goals from Sandro Tonali and Fabian Schar secured the win for Newcastle, while Yoane Wissa scored a consolation for Brentford in injury time. Frank lamented the "soft" goals his side conceded.

With only the Premier League to focus on until the FA Cup kicks off, Brentford's 11th place reflects the team with the best home record but the second worst away record this season. Despite failing to win away from home, they have collected 22 points from 24 at the Gtech Community Stadium and are one of only two unbeaten teams at home, along with Arsenal.

Brentford have yet to keep a clean sheet at home this season, but they have scored at least three goals in each of their last home games, something they have only done since 1930. Nottingham Forest, after a week off, will face that challenge, having come from behind to beat Aston Villa in the Premier League round of 16.

The win over Villa moved Forest up to fourth, ahead of Manchester City and just two points behind Arsenal in the Champions League race. However, Forest are now on a run of six consecutive away games without a clean sheet, which doesn’t bode well for Brentford, who score a lot of goals at home.

Brentford have not lost to Forest in the Premier League since their promotion in 2022, with two home wins. Forest last beat Brentford in January 2020 at Griffin Park.
