Nottingham Prediction
Since the schedule was released, Forest knew April would be a brutal month—and fortunately for their players and fans, the month is finally over. Over the past few weeks, Nottingham faced tough rivals, including Champions League contenders like Aston Villa, as well as clubs like Tottenham, Manchester United, and Everton, coming away with two wins and two losses.
Last Sunday, Forest fell 2-0 to Manchester City in the FA Cup Semifinals, leaving the squad somewhat battered but now fully focused on bouncing back against a struggling Brentford side to set themselves up nicely for the final four matches of the Premier League.
In the Premier League, the top five teams qualify for the Champions League, sixth place heads to the Europa League, and seventh place earns a ticket to the Conference League. With that in mind, here’s the current Premier League table with just four matches remaining:
- Liverpool* – 82 pts
- Arsenal – 67 pts
- Newcastle – 62 pts
- Manchester City – 61 pts
- Chelsea – 60 pts
- Nottingham Forest – 60 pts
- Aston Villa – 57 pts
- As EPL Champions, Liverpool have already secured the 2025/26 UCL spot.
Brentford Prediction
Brentford currently sits in 11th place, far from any European qualification contention. The Bees haven’t lost since their 2-1 defeat to Newcastle on April 2, collecting two draws and a great 4-2 win over Brighton since then.
However, Thomas Frank’s side hasn’t been particularly strong on the road. Of their five away wins this season, three came against teams currently occupying the bottom four spots in the Premier League:
- 5-0 vs Southampton (20°)
- 4-0 vs Leicester City (19°)
- 1-0 vs West Ham (17°)
- 2-1 vs Bournemouth (10°)
- 2-1 vs Crystal Palace (12°)
Brentford vs. Nottingham Pick
It’s tough to predict this match, considering the recent blows Nottingham Forest has taken. However, knowing Forest’s play style, it’s hard to imagine Brentford pulling off an upset on the road.
The market is also heavily influenced by Forest’s recent results, which is why I strongly recommend backing Nottingham Forest to cover the spread. It’s priced at +110 on DraftKings with a low line of -0.5.
Brentford vs. Nottingham Pick: Nottingham Forest -0.5 (+110) via DraftKings
