Brentford vs Nottingham preview and prediction: A stormy away trip.

Latest team news for Brentford vs Nottingham

Brentford's disappointment was compounded by two more defensive injuries. Ethan Pinnock left the pitch after just 14 minutes in the defeat to Newcastle due to a hamstring injury, while Sepp van den Berg suffered a groin problem and was unavailable. Both are likely to join Gustavo Nunes (back), Rico Henry (knee), Aaron Hickey (thigh), Josh Dasilva (knee), and Mathias Jensen (thigh) on the list of absentees, making it difficult for manager Thomas Frank to select a team.

Additionally, Igor Thiago was absent from St James' Park due to a serious joint infection that will keep him out of action for some time.

Conversely, Nottingham Forest also faced defensive problems with Murillo suffering an injury in the second half of their win against Aston Villa, and Ryan Yates limping at the end of the match. However, the visiting manager hopes both will recover in time for the trip to the capital. Alex Moreno, on loan from Aston Villa, will also return after being ineligible to play against his parent club.

If Yates and Murillo recover in time, Nottingham Forest will only be missing Danilo (ankle) and Ibrahim Sangare (hamstring).

Latest football match prediction: Brentford vs Nottingham

The next away game could be a cause for concern for Brentford fans as the new year approaches. After narrowly missing out on a point 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 victory for Newcastle, while Yoane Wissa scored a consolation goal for Brentford in injury time. Frank lamented the "weak" goals his team conceded.

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

Brentford haven't kept a clean sheet at home this season, but they've scored at least three goals in each of their last home games, something they last did in 1930. Nottingham Forest, after a week of rest, will face this challenge, having just pulled off a spectacular comeback against Aston Villa in the Premier League's 16th round.

The victory against Villa propelled Forest to fourth place, overtaking Manchester City and trailing Arsenal by just two points in the Champions League race. However, Forest are currently on a run of six consecutive away games without keeping a clean sheet, a rather unfavorable sign ahead of Brentford, a team known for scoring many goals at home.

Brentford have never lost to Forest in the Premier League since the visitors were promoted in 2022, with two wins at home. The last time Forest beat Brentford was in January 2020 at Griffin Park.
