Nottingham Forest’s 2-0 win against Brentford in the reverse fixture ended a six-game winless run against the Bees in the league (D3 L3), with 2019-20 the last time they completed the league double against them.

After winning four consecutive away league games against Nottingham Forest between 2014 and 2018, Brentford have won just one of their last five at the City Ground (D2 L2).

Nottingham Forest’s 1-0 defeat against Everton in their last home game ended a nine-game unbeaten run at the City Ground in the Premier League (W7 D2). They’ve not lost consecutive home league games since their final two last season (vs Man City and Chelsea).

Brentford are unbeaten in their last three league games (W1 D2), but are yet to go four without defeat this season, last doing so in April 2024 (run of 5).

Brentford are winless in all 10 of their midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League matches since the start of last season (D3 L7), while they’ve also lost their only previous Thursday game in the competition (0-2 v Tottenham, December 2021).

Brentford have the highest shot conversion rate of any side in the Premier League this season (14.8%). However, Nottingham Forest have the lowest conversion rate against them in the competition this term (8.3%).

Only Southampton (182) and Fulham (181) have forced fewer high turnovers than Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this season (201). Despite this, Forest rank second for goals scored from high turnovers this term (9) behind only Liverpool (10).

Chris Wood has scored 19 goals for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League this season – the only player to score 20 in a campaign for the club is Stan Collymore (22 in 1994-95).

Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa have both scored in the same Premier League match 18 times, with only seven different pairs of players doing so more for a side in the competition’s history. Seven of those 18 have been this season – the last time a pair did so more times in one campaign was in 2021-22, when Harry Kane and Son Heung-min scored in the same match eight times for Tottenham, and Sadio Mané and Mo Salah 10 times for Liverpool.

Nottingham Forest’s Chris Wood has the highest shot conversion rate in the Premier League this season (min. 10 shots), netting 19 of his 54 attempts so far (35.2%). Indeed, it’s the highest conversion rate on record (since 2003-04) for any player with at least 50 shots in a single campaign.
