Fulham Preview – Will the Premier League new boys get the win?
Fulham made sure of promotion to the Premier League with a 3-0 home win over Preston North End a week back. The Cottagers are now on the cusp of securing the title. They have been the real deal in this season’s Championship, racking up a sensational 87 points.
There was late drama in the battle between the top two at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday. A controversial penalty at the death gave Bournemouth a share of the spoils and saw Marco Silva sent off. Nevertheless, the point took Fulham another step closer to the title.
Fulham go into every game looking to win, and with the title yet to be sewn up, the Londoners will want all three points from this one. The bookies are offering 3/4 for a Fulham victory.
Nottingham Forest Preview – Can the Reds keep their top-two dreams alive?
After their dreadful start under Chris Hughton, Nottingham Forest looked like relegation fodder in the early weeks of the campaign. However, former Swansea City boss Steve Cooper has done a remarkable job at the City Ground since taking over.
No team will want to play Nottingham Forest in the play-offs. Having said that, the Reds will not be giving up on a top-two finish until it is mathematically impossible. They head into this one having won seven of the last eight, losing just one of the previous 13 to boot.
