Brentford vs Nottingham Forest
Both Brentford and Nottingham Forest will be looking for a winning start to the festive period when they face off at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday 21st December at 3pm. Nottingham Forest sit fourth in the Premier League after 16 games, just eight points behind leaders Liverpool. Brentford, meanwhile, are 11th, but only two points outside the top-six.
BTTS and over 2.5 goals (20/21 with bet365)
Brentford have the best home record in the Premier League this season and their games have been packed with goals over the last few months. Across their eight matches so far at the Community Stadium, Brentford’s games have averaged a massive five goals per game, with both teams getting on the scoresheet in all of those.
Both Teams to Score in Both Halves (11/1 with William Hill)
Forest have only failed to score on the road at Manchester City and Arsenal this season. Since they have been promoted back to the Premier League, both teams have scored in all four meetings with Brentford and another high-scoring game looks likely on Saturday.
There have been 40 goals scored in Brentford’s eight home Premier League games so far this season (F26 A14), with the average of five currently the highest goals-per-game average at a venue in a single Premier League campaign in the competition’s history.

Brentford and Nottingham Forest will both be happy with their Premier League campaigns so far. Although Brentford are 11th in the table, they are just five points outside the top four. There is a chance for the Bees to challenge for European football. Brentford’s one problem this season has been their away form, with just one point picked up on the road. Fortunately, they’ve won 22 points from a possible 24 at home.
