Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction and Betting Tips | December 22nd 2025

Fulham and Nottingham Forest will battle for three points in a Premier League round 17 clash on Monday (December 22nd). The game will be played at Craven Cottage.

The home side will be looking to bounce back from the 2-1 defeat they suffered away to Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup in midweek. They went behind to Yoane Wissa's 10th-minute strike while Sasa Lukic equalized six minutes later. Lewis Miley scored the match-winner in injury time.

The Cottagers will turn their focus to the league, where their last game saw them claim a 3-2 away win over Burnley.

Forest, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a 3-0 home thrashing of Tottenham. Callum Hudson-Odoi opened the scoring in the 28th minute before completing his brace five minutes into the second half. The 25-year-old capped off a fine afternoon by providing an assist for Ibrahim Sangare in the 79th minute.

The win saw them remain in 17th spot in the standings, having garnered 18 points from 16 games. Fulham are two points and two places better off.

Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Fulham sit just seven points above the dropzone. Marco Silva's side have lost their last two league games in front of their fans.

Nottingham Forest's rejuvenation under Sean Dyche continued last weekend, the win means they have won four of their last six matches, which is more than they managed in the preceding 18.

Both these sides have been affected by the absences of key players, with a number away on international duty at the AFCON. They will each be keen to avoid defeat to steer clear of the relegation zone.
