Nottingham pulled off an upset win in their last outing, and are hoping to pull that off once more against the favored Brentford.

Meanwhile, Brentford has not won a game since December 2, 2023, a trend which continued back in December of 2023. They took a 3-1 hit to the loss column at the hands of Crystal Palace.
The victory makes it two in a row for Nottingham and bumps their season record up to 5-5-10. As for Brentford, they have traveled a rocky road recently, as they’ve lost five of their last six matches, which put a noticeable dent in their 5-4-10 record this season.
