Brentford host Nottingham Forest at Brentford Community Stadium on Saturday, October 31 (11:00 AM ET / 10:00 AM CT / 8:00 AM PT).
Brentford will be without the suspended Vitaly Janelt and the suspended Yegor Yarmoliuk, while the injured Joshua Dasilva, the injured Jannik Schuster, the injured Kaye Furo and the sidelined Antoni Milambo are also out of contention. Kevin Schade, who has scored 3 goals from 17 shots this season, is the clear creative focal point, with Keane Lewis-Potter (2 goals, 10 chances created) and Igor Thiago offering further threat in behind him. Nottingham Forest travel without the injured Nicolo Savona and the injured Igor Jesus, with Neco Williams and Nicolas Dominguez both doubts; Morgan Gibbs-White, who has created 20 chances this season, and Dan Ndoye, who has scored 2 goals from 19 shots, remain the visitors’ main threats.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Expect a tight, low-scoring afternoon at Gtech Community Stadium. Brentford’s defensive solidity, built on a +5 goal difference from 7 games, should be enough to see off a Nottingham Forest side taking only 6 points from 8 games on the road. The Signal model lands on a 1-0 Brentford win, with Kevin Schade, who has already scored 3 goals this season, the likeliest man to settle it.
