Prediction
Currently out of the relegation zone on goal difference, Forest must start finding wins if want to boost their survival hopes but they were lucky not to lose to Palace through some clinical play and tight defending – having been largely outplayed in intensity and energy at times.
Fulham meanwhile just don’t seem to have their usual spark on the road which certainly showed in a surprise draw at Sheffield Utd, where you would of expected them to win yet they showed great grit and desire to snatch a draw amidst some sloppy defending.
This game nevertheless feels like bit of a must-win for Forest against a team who don’t seem to have much luck on the road, but I do expect Forest to spring a surprise if can get at Forest’s defence and dominate like Palace did albeit with better end product.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 1-2 Fulham
Result: Nottingham Forest 3-1 Fulham
