The homeowner had bad luck.

Nottingham Forest will travel to Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon aiming to consolidate their place in the Premier League top four, while Fulham are also hoping to secure a European spot.

The home side are aiming for a double victory against Forest in the last three seasons, after securing a 1-0 win in the first leg at City Ground last September.

Latest Fulham vs Nottingham team news

Fulham suffered a setback in their squad as Reiss Nelson suffered a recurrence of his thigh injury, leaving him without a chance alongside Kenny Tete (knee) and Harry Wilson (broken leg).

Raul Jimenez, Fulham's top scorer this season with 11 goals in all competitions, including 8 at home, is striving to return to the starting lineup. However, Muniz also presents a pleasant headache for manager Silva after scoring a brace against Wigan.

New signing Willian, who recently rejoined Fulham on a free transfer, could feature in this match. However, Adama Traore and Alex Iwobi are more likely to play on the wings, while Emile Smith Rowe will play in the attacking midfield position.

For Nottingham Forest, reserve goalkeeper Carlos Miguel (hamstring) and striker Taiwo Awoniyi (concussion/broken nose) both suffered injuries midweek. While Miguel is definitely out, Awoniyi's participation remains uncertain.

Callum Hudson-Odoi has returned to training after missing three games due to a groin injury and could feature against Fulham. Additionally, Murillo is also hoping to recover in time after suffering a leg problem.

Forest will welcome back Ola Aina, Nikola Milenkovic, Neco Williams and possibly Morato in defense. Elliot Anderson is expected to return in midfield, while Morgan Gibbs-White and Anthony Elanga will support striker Chris Wood, who just scored a hat-trick against Brighton, bringing his total Premier League goals this season to 17.

Latest football match prediction: Fulham vs Nottingham

Fulham are enjoying a successful February with two 2-1 away wins against Newcastle United in the Premier League and Wigan Athletic in the fourth round of the FA Cup.

Rodrigo Muniz shone with a brace to help Fulham overcome Wigan, setting up a clash with Manchester United in Round 5 on March 1st. Before that, Marco Silva's team will focus on three consecutive Premier League matches against Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace, and Wolves.

Currently sitting 9th in the table, Fulham still have a chance to secure a European spot next season, trailing the top 7 by four points, the top 5 by five points, and the top 4 by seven points with 14 rounds remaining. However, to maintain this ambition, they need to improve their home form, having won only 1 of their last 7 matches at Craven Cottage, including disappointing draws against Southampton (0-0) and Ipswich Town (2-2).

Nevertheless, Fulham have reason to be confident when hosting Nottingham Forest, as they have won 4 of their last 5 Premier League encounters, including their last two home games with a combined score of 7-0.

On the other side of the pitch, Nottingham Forest have been in impressive form over the past 10 weeks. Except for their 0-5 defeat to Bournemouth last month, they have won 8 of their 10 Premier League matches and 2 FA Cup games, scoring at least two goals in 9 of those games.

Following their 7-0 thrashing of Brighton in the domestic league, Forest overcame Exeter City in the fourth round of the FA Cup on penalties after a 2-2 draw. Now, they will prepare for three crucial matches against Fulham, Newcastle, and Arsenal, aiming to consolidate their position in the top four and increase their six-point lead over Manchester City and Newcastle in the chasing pack.

Forest's defense has been one of the bright spots of the season, conceding only 27 goals – the third fewest in the league – and keeping 10 clean sheets, level with Liverpool. Notably, they have kept five clean sheets in their last eight league matches.

However, preventing Fulham from scoring is no easy task, as Forest have lost 9 of their last 12 encounters and have only kept a clean sheet in 1 of their last 14 matches against this opponent in the past 9 years.
