Brentford have scored two more goals and conceded four fewer than Forest.  

The expert also has taken into account that Nottingham Forest are unbeaten in their past four matches in all competitions (3-1-0), while the Bees are winless in their past six games (0-1-5). The visitors have scored 12 goals over their past five matches, while Brentford have yielded 13 over the same span. Forest are 3-3-2 in the past eight meetings between the teams in all competitions.
