Gabby Agbonlahor Predicts Confident Forest Victory Over Brentford Thanks to One Key Factor
As Nottingham Forest gear up to host Brentford in a crucial late-season Premier League clash, former England striker Gabby Agbonlahor believes the hosts will come out on top with ease.
With just five matches left, Forest are firmly in the hunt for a coveted Champions League spot, and a win against Brentford could catapult them from sixth into the top three. Though their recent performances have been inconsistent, Agbonlahor feels this is the perfect opportunity for Nuno Espirito Santo’s side to rebound—particularly due to Brentford’s travel woes.
Speaking on TalkSport, Agbonlahor acknowledged Forest’s misfortune in their narrow FA Cup semi-final loss to Manchester City but insisted that they have enough firepower and home support to bounce back strongly in the league. He confidently predicted a 3-1 win, citing Brentford’s underwhelming away performances as a decisive weakness.
While Brentford have had a solid season overall and are still chasing a European berth, their road form has been far less impressive. They rank among the bottom in away results, in stark contrast to their formidable home record. That disparity, Agbonlahor argued, gives Forest the edge they need to claim a “comfortable” win at the City Ground.
Do you think Forest can make a late surge for a Champions League spot?
