Top Two Tips for Brentford vs Nottingham Forest

Contents
Brentford to Win
Our first Brentford vs Nottingham Forest prediction concerns the full-time result. We're backing Brentford to win this weekend as the hosts have been strong at home this season, while their guests have performed poorly on the road. The Bees ended their winless run in midweek when they made the trip to Chelsea, running out 2-0 winners and looking for more like their old selves. Forest have lost four of their last six league games and although they won at home against Brighton in midweek, we expect Cooper's men to lose on the road once again.
Ivan Toney to Score
Our second Brentford vs Nottingham Forest prediction delves into he Anytime Goalscorer market. We're backing Ivan Toney to score his 20th league goal of the campaign this weekend at home to a leaky Nottingham Forest defence. The England international has been in great form since returning from his second England cap, scoring three goals in his last six league games, so you can see why we've backed him to score again on Saturday.

Brentford vs Nottingham Forest Lineups
Brentford
The Bees stung Frank Lampard's Chelsea side in midweek, running out 2-0 winners at Stamford Bridge against the odds. An own goal from Azpilicueta in the 37th-minute handed Brentford their lead and with 12-minutes left on the clock, Mbeumo made it 2-0 after good work from Baptiste. Jansson, Lewis-Potter, Strakosha, Ajer and Norgaard are the main injury concerns for the hosts this weekend.
Predicted Lineup – Raya (GK), Jørgensen, Mee, Henry, Rasmussen, Pinnock, Jensen, Janelt, Onyeka, Toney & Wissa
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest really needed a win at home to Brighton in midweek, and that is just what they got. Despite falling behind in the 38th-minute, Forest went in level at the break thanks to an own goal from Gross and took the lead in the 69th-minute via Danil. A Gibbs-White penalty in stoppage-time secured the relegation batteries a 3-1 victory and lifted them out of the bottom three, for a short time at least. Biancone, Wood, McKenna, Boly, Aurier, Kouyate, Colbeck, Yates, Scarpa, Richards, Shelvey, Niakhate, Williams and Henderson are all sidelined right now and could miss this weekend's match.
Predicted Lineup – Navas (GK), Aurier, Felipe, Niakhaté, Williams, Lodi, Mangala, Gibbs-White, Danilo, Awoniyi & Johnson

Player to Watch: Ivan Toney
If anyone is going to take this game by the scruff of the neck then our money would be on Brentford's star striker.
Nottingham Forest are going to give it their all this weekend as they battle relegation but Ivan Toney will get chances against the visitor's leaky defence and we expect the England international to punish Forest.
Toney has scored 3-goals in his last six league games and is on the verge of netting his 20th league goal of the campaign which is quite a feat in the Premier League, especially for a player that is only playing his second full season in the top-flight.
