Brentford vs Nottingham – In the previous Premier League match, Brentford and Aston Villa played to a draw (1-1), which brings them into this game.
In that game, Brentford enjoyed 42% of the possession and 5 of its 16 shots on goal were successful. Ivan Toney (65′) was the lone player for Brentford to register a goal.
Aston Villa, their adversaries, had 14 shots on goal with 2 of them being successful. Aston Villa’s goal came in the 87th minute from Douglas Luiz.
In previous years, Brentford has only sometimes been able to hold out for the whole 90 minutes. They will be troubled by the fact that Brentford has conceded 10 goals while failing to stop opponents from scoring in six of their previous six games. But it won’t necessarily continue here, that kind of tendency.
Nottingham Forest will be looking to rebound here after experiencing defeat last time out against Liverpool in Premier League play.
Nottingham Forest had 19% of the possession in that game and 11 shots on goal, with 5 of them being successful. Neco Williams and Morgan Gibbs-White for Nottingham Forest were the goal scorers (51′ and 67′ respectively).
Six of Liverpool’s 18 shots on goal were on target. Liverpool scored goals from Diogo Jota (47, 55), and Mohamed Salah (70).
The statistics speak for themselves; in their last six games, Nottingham Forest have allowed 12 goals to be scored against them. Nottingham Forest really needs to tighten things up defensively.
