Brentford, Recent FormThere will be a feeling of disappointment amongst the Brentford players having failed to take any points away from their recent 3-1 away defeat at the hands of Crystal Palace. They achieved 52% possession in that match and had 9 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Crystal Palace's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 6 of which were on target.
With 7 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 13 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 home games; however, they have scored in 9 of their 10 played at The Gtech Community Stadium this season.
Brentford will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form, having lost 5 league games in a row no wins in 5 games.
On an individual basis, Ivan Toney will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 3 goals in Brentford's last 6 league games.
Nottingham Forest, Recent FormNottingham Forest will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-1 home win against Manchester United. In that game they had 46% possession and managed 8 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Manchester United who had 10 attempts and 5 on target.
Supremo Nuno Espírito Santo will be closely scrutinising his squad's defensive frailties, his back line having shipped 13 goals in their last 6 matches, despite having picked up some points through the 8 goals they've managed to net. So far this season they have conceded a goal at least once in 17 of their 20 games.
This will be regarded as a poor run of form, with 3 defeats from their last 6 matches and just 2 victories.
Chris Wood will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 4 goals in the last 6 league games for Nottingham Forest.
Despite both teams hitting the net in their previous encounter, the match ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Reds will be looking to extend their current run of scoring against Brentford having scored at least 1 goal in each of their previous 9 meetings.
Brentford have built up an impressive record in the league against Forest, going unbeaten in their last 5 meetings.
Brentford manager Thomas Frank has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Kristoffer Ajer (Foot), Josh Dasilva (Hamstring), Rico Henry (Knee), Aaron Hickey (Hamstring), Bryan Mbeumo (Ankle) and Kevin Schade (Hip) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Nuno Espírito Santo has a number of injury concerns in his Forest squad to contend with: Serge Aurier (Calf), Taiwo Awoniyi (Knee surgery) and George Shelvey (Unknown)
