Nottingham Forest are
hardly on the crest of a wave at the moment, having sacked manager
Dougie Freedman earlier this month after losing five of the their six
previous matches in the Championship and owner Fawaz Al Hasawi saying
he would consider selling the club for the right price.
However, the Reds’
back four were impressive during the 1-1 draw with Hull City at the
KC Stadium, only to fall victim to a deflected equaliser after 73
minutes and, despite managing just one shot on target, Paul Williams’
side showed plenty of endeavour during the 1-0 defeat by Derby County
at the Pride Park Stadium last Saturday week.
Forest have won two and
drawn one of their last six home games, while Brentford have won just
one and lost five of their last six away games, including 3-0 defeats
at Queens’ Park Rangers and Brighton and a 4-0 defeat at Sheffield
Wednesday. In fact, the Bees slumped to their seventh defeat in eight
games when beaten 1-0 by 10-man Blackburn Rovers at Griffin Park on
their last Championship outing and captain Jack Bidwell is, quite
rightly, already worried about being drawn into a relegation battle.
Forest started brightly
against both Hull City and Derby County and a similar high-tempo,
high-pressing game may well be able to breach the Bees’ leaky
defence early on and set the tone for the rest of the game. An
entertaining, high-scoring encounter it probably won’t be, but
let’s try Nottingham Forest/Nottingham Forest in the Half Time/Full
Time market at 14/5 with Betvictor.
