Nottingham vs Brentford: Premier League Prediction (01.05.2025)

On May 1, 2025, at 23:30 (Astana time), the Premier League match between Nottingham Forest and Brentford will take place. Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the hosts. Let’s take a look at the current form of the teams and provide our prediction for the game.

Nottingham Forest

Nottingham Forest is having a strong season. Despite some recent inconsistencies in their results, the team is still in the race for European spots. A victory in the upcoming match could push Nottingham back into the top 3, while a loss could see them fall outside the top 5. Their schedule ahead is challenging, with Leicester being the easiest remaining opponent, but West Ham could pose problems. There’s also an away match against a well-performing Crystal Palace and a home encounter with Chelsea, who are battling for a top-5 finish.

Nottingham approaches this match after a tough semifinal against Manchester City in the FA Cup, where they lost 0-2 and failed to reach the final.

Brentford

Brentford is no longer in the race for high positions this season, but the team has established itself as a solid mid-table club, capable of competing with any opponent. Brentford looks very strong in attack, having scored 56 goals in 33 rounds. Only the top five teams and Tottenham have scored more. However, Brentford has conceded 50 goals, which has been the main factor behind their struggles this season.

The team has no particular ambitions for this season, and their main goal now is to finish the remaining matches well. In the offseason, they will need to address defensive issues to compete for a spot in the top 10 next season and possibly even in European competitions.

Statistics and Head-to-Head

In the last five head-to-head encounters, Brentford has the upper hand with two wins. Nottingham Forest won once, and that was in the first match of the current season, away from home (2:0). The other two matches ended in draws.

Prediction

In the Nottingham Forest vs Brentford match, we predict a win for the hosts. Nottingham Forest enters this match more motivated, and overall, the team looks stronger this season. Therefore, we suggest betting on Nottingham Forest to win at least one half at odds of 1.60.
