PREVIEW | Nottingham Forest vs Brentford - team news, lineups, predictions | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest and Brentford go head-to-head at City Ground this Sunday in the Premier League. Nottingham Forest mark their 60th participation in the competition, whilst Brentford go into their 10th.

Last time out, Nottingham Forest drew 0-0 against Al-Qadisiyah (Pre-season 2025/26). In their last fixture, Brentford shared the spoils 2-2 with Borussia M´gladbach (Pre-season 2025/26).

The last meeting between the two teams ended with Brentford winning 2-0.

The Fan Zone

Rich Ferraro (1865: The Nottingham Forest Podcast): The excitement of a new season, tempered by the fact that we never beat Brentford!

In theory, this is the best chance we have had for a while to overcome the Bees, as they rebuild after the loss of a very good gaffer and some key players. Forest will still want to add more players, but apart from replacing Elanga with Ndoye, the core of our team is still there.

The big concern is goals: where on earth are they going to come from? We only had one in pre-season, so hopefully we will actually test Kelleher in the Brentford net. I suspect that this will be a low-scoring encounter though.

Prediction: 1-0
