In this Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Prediction, Fulham is coming as +140 home favorites. Fulham has been slightly better than Forest so far, with two more points and have been better at home, while Forest has been struggling on the road. But Fulham had one extra mid-week game for the English Cup and have been struggling lately with a 1-3 record in their last 4 games, while on the flip side, Forest has lost only twice in its last 10 games and once in their last five on the road. Given both teams’ recent form, I expect the road team to keep this one close, so take Nottingham Forest by +0.5 goals in this one.
