Fulham host Nottingham Forest at Craven Cottage on Monday Night Football in a game that, on paper at least, looks incredibly tight. Two teams battling for mid-table safety and inconsistent form require a somewhat of a delve into the unknown from a betting perspective.
Both teams should avoid any flirtation with serious relegation concerns, though a string of poor results could see the heart rates of their respective fans begin to flutter. And speaking of flutters, we’ve had a look through the markets to see where the value lies in an intriguing game between two teams that, on their day, are capable of playing eye-catching football.

Bet 1: Match Result – Draw
Sir Isaac Newton famously said that “for every action there is a reaction”, and it feels a lot like that when looking through the minefield that are the Fulham vs Nottingham Forest stats to find a result.
Forest have won 13 points in their last eight compared to Fulham’s 12. One goal separates them in the total number conceded this season, and just three in the number scored in the previous eight. Forest have scored just six away goals all season, but have one of the better defences on their travels.
There are so many variables in the game where you can argue for one result over another, and when this happens, the smart money is usually with the draw.
Nuno Espirito Santo’s side are on the up after struggling out of the blocks, and having a bit of form for the away side in the draw market is vital. We’re getting 11/5 for a stalemate at Craven Cottage, and it looks like the smart play.
Bet 2: Over 2.5 Goals
The goals have been flowing for both sides lately, after a slow start to the season. Fulham have covered the over 2.5 in six of their last eight, and for Forest, they’ve covered in five of their last seven.
Both teams have improved their average goals scored per game over the last eight games as well. Fulham has jumped to 1.88, which is 30.6% higher than their current season average, and Forest have scored two or more goals in four of their last seven games.
Even money for the over 2.5 goals market for two teams with 56% over 2.5 averages for the season looks like another strong bet.
Bet 3: Harry Wilson to Score or Assist
Fulham’s Harry Wilson is flying at the minute. He’s logged at least one goal or assist in each of his last four Premier League outings and has been playing incredibly well for both club and country.
He’s got a good record against Forest as well, with three goals/assists in 10 games, which is a decent return for any wide player. It should be a fascinating match-up against Neco Williams at left back for Forest on Monday night, with his fellow Welshman in good form of his own.
Odds of 11/8 for a goal or assist look like a good price given Wilson’s recent form and make up the final part of our Fulham vs Forest bet builder tips.
