Fulham vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Fulham have achieved their major goal of the season by securing promotion. Their efforts will now be channeled towards securing the top spot in the league and they are well on course to do so.
Nottingham Forest, on the other hand, are still in the race for promotion and can achieve that automatically should they leapfrog Bournemouth in second-place. The Reds are the more driven side ahead of Tuesday's clash and we expect them to come out on top.
Prediction: Fulham 1-2 Nottingham Forest
