Nottingham Forest vs Brentford Prediction, Odds and Picks for Tomorrow, 05/01/25

Nottingham Forest saw their silverware hopes dashed at the weekend as their FA Cup bid came to an end, but they still have a chance to finish in the top 5 to qualify for the Champions League, and victory over Brentford would see them jump up to 3rd place. The Bees are destined for a mid-table finish and have little left to play for, whereas Forest have a chance to make a bit of history and secure a place in the Champions League for the first time. Brentford are in reasonable form but Forest’s extra motivation gives them the edge. The Tricky Trees went down 1-0 to Everton in their last home game but that ended a 9-game unbeaten run in the Premier League at the City Ground. Nuno Espirito Santo’s team won 7 of those 9 games, and they can make the most of their home advantage here.

Brentford are in reasonable form but with just 1 defeat in their last 5, but they’ve only won 2 of those games and they have just 1 point to show from their last 2 road trips. Brentford have been excellent on their travels since the turn of the year but they have fallen short in trips to the league’s strongest teams. The west Londoners have just 1 point to show from their 5 trips to Forest’s top-6 rivals, so the odds on a home win look good value.
