Match Analysis

Fulham's edge in this matchup lies in their offensive prowess and the historical trend of high-scoring games, which aligns with the prediction of over 2.5 goals. Nottingham Forest's resilience in defense will be tested against Fulham's more prolific attack. A key factor to watch will be whether Fulham can capitalize on their home advantage and exploit Nottingham Forest's defensive lapses to secure a much-needed victory.
