Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Preview & Prediction (17:30 KO)
Unbeaten in four consecutive matches, Nottingham Forest head to the capital to take on Brentford in a battle towards the bottom of the Premier League table on Saturday evening.
Just a point separates Forest in 15th and the Bees in 16th, whilst 18th place Luton remain just three points adrift of Thomas Frank’s side, as the pair aim to secure a vital three points in their push for top flight safety.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s men come into the clash off the back of an extra-time win over Blackpool in their midweek FA Cup third round replay fixture, meanwhile Brentford were forced to play 120 minutes in their tie too, but fell to a 3-2 defeat to Wolves.
It’s a similar story when it comes to the pair’s most recent league outings as well, as Forest boast back-to-back wins over Manchester United and Newcastle, while the Bees have lost a shocking five straight matches – most recently losing 3-1 to Crystal Palace at the end of December.
Forest’s visit could well be the turning point in Brentford’s season though, as it has been confirmed that talisman and star forward Ivan Toney will make his long-awaited return to the field of play after spending eight months on the sidelines due to suspension.
We at SportsLens anticipate a close affair at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, and are backing Toney to shine in a score draw to mark the end of the Bees’ losing streak in the top flight.
Prediction: Brentford 1-1 Nottingham Forest

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips
- Both Teams To Score @ 3/4
- Ivan Toney To Score First @ 7/2
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 13/2
Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tip 1: Both Teams To Score @ 3/4
Our first tip for your Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Saturday evening bet builders is to back both teams to score during the match, priced by leading UK betting sites at 3/4.
Both teams have been on the scoresheet in each of the pair’s last five outings in all competitions (three in the league, and two in the FA Cup), clearly proving that both sides are susceptible to both scoring goals, as well as conceding goals.
Not only that, but both teams have scored in each of their last five meetings dating back to a 3-1 win for Brentford in the Championship in December 2020. Since then, both sides have netted in their following four clashes in the first and second tier, with their most recent meeting ending in a 1-1 stalemate at the City Ground in October.
Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tip 2: Ivan Toney To Score First @ 7/2
As previously alluded to, Saturday evening’s clash marks the long-awaited return of Brentford’s star man Toney, who Frank has confirmed will not only start the match, but also lead his side out as captain.
The England international has made no secret of his disappointment at being suspended for such a lengthy period, and has continuously shared videos and photos on social media during that period showing himself hard at work to come back in the best condition possible.
We at SportsLens are backing the 27-year-old to bounce back with a bang in true Toney fashion by scoring the first goal of the match at the Gtech Community Stadium on Saturday, priced by leading UK bookmakers at 7/2.
