Nottingham Forest vs Fulham Prediction: Stalemate on the cards

Nottingham Forest will aim to extend their unbeaten run to four matches when they entertain Fulham at the City Ground on Saturday (15:00 KO).

Nuno Espirito Santo's side are eighth in the table, one point and one place above Fulham after the first five games of the campaign. The hosts come into Saturday's encounter on the back of a 2-2 draw against Brighton, while Fulham beat Newcastle United 3-1 at Craven Cottage.

Team News

Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White will miss Saturday's tie due to suspension, after he was dismissed against Brighton.

Ryan Yates is likely to be Gibbs-White's replacement, while Danilo, Ibrahim Sangare and Willy Boly remain sidelined due to injury.

Fulham boss Marco Silva has a near full-strength squad to choose from, with Carlos Vinicius the only absentee.

The hosts are 7/5 to win on home soil, the draw is 23/10, while Fulham are 21/10 to pick up three points on the road.

Both teams to score is priced at 8/11, while over 2.5 goals is available at 10/11.

Striker Chris Wood is the favourite to score anytime at 9/5, while Fulham striker Raul Jimenez is 23/10 to find the back of the net inside 90 minutes.

Draw @ 23/10

Forest fans will be delighted with their team's start so far, as the Tricky Trees are unbeaten in their five league games.

They have yet to lose in any competition inside 90 minutes, but they did lose to Newcastle on penalties in the EFL Cup after a 1-1 draw.

Forest will be full of confidence after their 1-0 win over Liverpool and spirited 2-2 draw against Brighton, but they have still sometimes struggled to kill teams off.

Four of Forest's six games this season have ended in score draws, and without Gibbs-White, they should struggle to outclass Fulham.

The Cottagers have drawn three of their last four and have continued to be a tough nut to crack.

Both teams to score - yes @ 8/11

Forest's success this season has been built on stronger defensive foundations, but they still have plenty of firepower in the final third.

Striker Wood has scored three goals from eight shots on target this season, while Silva has got the best out of Emile Smith Rowe, with the midfielder scoring twice already since his move from Arsenal.

Both teams have found the net in five of Fulham's last six matches in all competitions and neither side will be disappointed with a score draw at this stage of the season.
