REF’s picks

Brentford return to home comforts to face a struggling Nottingham Forest side, making a home win a solid proposition at fair odds. Keith Andrews's team sit comfortably in sixth place despite some recent bumps, whereas Forest are deep in the relegation zone in eighteenth and lacking consistency on the road. Forest do pose a threat through Morgan Gibbs-White and Dan Ndoye, but mounting injuries and poor away form make an upset difficult to envisage.

1. 1Brentford enjoy strong home form in the Premier League, highlighted by recent performances against top-tier opposition.
2. 2Nottingham Forest occupy 18th place and struggle for goals away from home, mustering only 4 strikes in their last 5 outings.
3. 3Brentford are missing suspended midfielders Vitaly Janelt and Yegor Yarmoliuk, which could disrupt their usual rhythm in the middle of the pitch.
