Fulham Reliable in Front of Goal at Home
Fulham have scored in all eight of their home Premier League matches this season, showing consistent attacking intent even when results have varied. Their recent 2-2 draw with Wolves and 3-1 win over Brentford highlight their ability to create and convert chances.
Across those eight home fixtures, Fulham’s xG averages 1.16 while conceding 1.34 xGA, reflecting a narrow gap between what they create and allow. They average eight shots in the box per match at Craven Cottage and concede nearly seven, which explains why both teams to score has landed in half of their home games.
Marco Silva’s men rely heavily on the creativity of Emile Smith Rowe and Harry Wilson, while Raúl Jiménez continues to be their focal point up top. Wilson, in particular, remains one to watch — registering four shots on target across his last two appearances.

Nottingham Forest Balanced but Vulnerable Away
Nottingham Forest have found some rhythm under Sean Dyche, collecting 13 points from their last eight league matches with an xPTS tally of 12.08. Away from home, they continue to pose a threat, averaging 1.42 xG per game, but their defensive structure remains a concern with an xGA of 1.30.
Forest have conceded in six of their eight away fixtures and have scored in five of their last eight league matches overall. Dyche’s pragmatic setup allows for attacking transitions led by Morgan Gibbs-White and Callum Hudson-Odoi.
Forest’s matches rarely lack action, with both teams scoring in five of their last eight outings. Their style ensures that even when they sit deep, they create enough to trouble opponents.

Head-to-Head: Goals the Common Theme
Recent history between these sides strongly favours goals. Fulham have won four of their last five home meetings with Nottingham Forest, including scorelines of 5-0, 2-1, and 2-0. Across their last 19 encounters in all competitions, 15 have featured three or more goals.
Forest have managed to find the net in several of their visits to Craven Cottage, including a 3-1 win in April 2024. Clean sheets are a rarity when these sides meet, and both attacks should find openings again on Monday.

What to Expect at Craven Cottage
Both sides thrive in open games. Fulham’s home scoring streak and Forest’s attacking away record make goals highly likely. The combination of Fulham’s steady home xG and Forest’s poor defensive travel form should lead to plenty of goalmouth action.
Expect both teams to score, with the potential for another 2-2 type result that mirrors their season-long trends.
