Fulham have undoubtedly been one of the success stories of the season so far and on paper this looks like a regulation home win but Nottingham Forest aren't to be taken lightly. We put together some thoughts and betting tips based on the latest odds on Betfred for the Saturday 3PM clash at the Cottage…

We have two selections for you with one a prop bet and the other a fivefold same-game multi via Betfred's #PickYourPunt Bet Builder product.
We'll start however with an overview of what is one of the trickier games to call heading into the Premier League weekend. Fulham have hit the skids in recent weeks having failed to score in their past three in the league, although those games have all been against strong sides. A 1-0 defeat at Newcastle was harsh when you looked at the game as a whole but the two games with Spurs (0-1) and the 0-0 at Stamford Bridge were both pretty dull encounters.
After a tremendous run, they seem to have hit a bit of a bump in the road. A good FA Cup run may well still provide Marco Silva's side with a route back to European competition but qualifying via their league position is starting to look much tougher than it did, say at the start of January.
As for Nottingham Forest, they haven't lost a game in the league in 2023 and keep finding ways to grind out positive results. Steve Cooper is starting to get a much better feel for his quickly cobbled together squad and Brennan Johnson is fast becoming a bit of a Shots on Target must-have for anyone betting on games involving the club.
I've put that up as a single as well as part of the Bet Builder. He is now averaging a shot on target every 95 minutes and that number has been improving significantly in recent weeks. In addition as part of the multiple bet, I've thrown in his attacking colleague Morgan Gibbs-White who like Johnson, has been getting into much better attacking positions in recent weeks.
Andreas Pereira has been booked in three of his previous four outings in the Premier League and with Forest's ability on the break, he is primed to have a couple of nibbles and that makes him a serious candidate to see yellow. Referee Andy Madley has shown 25 cards in his previous four games officiating in the top flight and has become more card happy as the season has gone on.
Over 8.5 corners is thrown in with that number being below the average for Fulham home games and Forest away games. So statistically speaking, that feels good to happen and I do think both teams score. How the actual match result goes I'm genuinely not sure as I'm struggling to get a handle on just how Fulham are playing at the moment but BTTS is the final leg of the 22/1 fivefold and I do feel good about that. Fulham are due a goal and we saw how Leeds carved Forest open albeit without scoring past week and Forest are finishing at a very high level.
If I had to play the Correct Score Market as a single, I might lean towards a 1-2 away win at 12/1. Victory here would really start to gap Forest from the drop zone. The away win with on scoreline attached is 3/1.
