Brentford host Nottingham Forest in a Premier League clash where both sides look to bounce back from mixed recent results. As Brentford have been impressive at home this term, we predict a 2-1 home win. The Bees have been solid at home, averaging 2.00 points per game, scoring 2 goals per home match and keeping a clean sheet in 50% of home games. Overall, Brentford score 1.6 goals per match and concede just 1 goal, showing defensive resilience. Midfielder Frank Onyeka returns from international duty for the capital club, but is unlikely to start.
Nottingham Forest have struggled away, picking up 1.17 points per game on the road with 1.33 goals scored and 2 conceded per away match. BTTS has occurred in 67% of their away matches, highlighting their vulnerability at the back. Both John Victor and Chris Wood remain in the recovery room, while Oleksandr Zinchenko is back to contention after he was ineligible to face his parent club Arsenal (0-0). Historically, Brentford edge the head-to-head with 11 wins in 21 encounters, and over 2.5 goals have occurred in 62% of past meetings.
This promises a competitive game, with Brentford’s home form likely to be decisive against a Forest side that concedes regularly on the road. Home Win is our main betting pick for this Premier League matchup, alongside Brentford Over 1.5 goals and Over 2.5 goals total (62% H2H).
This Premier League match will be played on Sunday 25 January 2026 at 14:00.
