On Saturday Nov 5th, Brentford and Nottingham Forest will play a match in Nottingham in a clash of these two extremely mismatched Premier League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, a perfect day for football. 20th placed Nottingham Forest is fresh off their 0-5 blowout loss against Arsenal. Martinelli struck first for Arsenal in the 5th minute, then Reiss Nelson added another in the 49th minute In the end, Nottingham Forest couldn’t muster any offence and Arsenal ran away with the shutout win. Nottingham Forest looks to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 5 points in their last 10 matches, while 11th placed Brentford is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Ben Mee scored the first goal for Brentford in the 50th minute, then Rúben Neves tied it up for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 52nd minute earning Wolverhampton Wanderers at least a draw. Brentford is looking for direction having earned 11 points in their last 10 matches.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season, so it will be interesting how the match turns out.
Ivan Toney has been the most effective weapon for Brentford lately. The English attacker has netted three goals in his last five matches. Emmanuel Dennis and Taiwo Awoniyi are the top scorers for Nottingham Forest in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Moussa Niakhaté, Renan Lodi, Lewis O’Brien, Harry Toffolo, Omar Richards and Jack Colback are unavailable to play for Nottingham Forest, while Brentford will be without Aaron Hickey and Thomas Strakosha.
