After sealing promotion, Fulham have the chance to secure the Championship title as they host in-form Nottingham Forest on Tuesday. While Forest have the quality to make things difficult, the opportunity to win the league in front of their home fans might prove to be extra motivation for the Cottagers.
Fulham may have secured a return to the Premier League but still have a few things to play for this season. They are aiming to secure the Championship title but will also be keen to maintain their good form and end the campaign on a high note.
The Cottagers missed the chance to win the title last time out as they were held to a 1-1 draw at second placed Bournemouth. They had looked on course for the win following Aleksandar Mitrovic’s second half opener, but conceded the equaliser deep into injury time.
Marco Silva’s men have won three of their last four matches at Craven Cottage and triumphed 3-0 over Preston North End in their previous home fixture.
It has been an impressive second half of the season for Nottingham Forest, who have played themselves into contention for automatic promotion. They are currently five points behind second placed Bournemouth with four matches left to play.
Nottingham Forest travel to Craven Cottage with just one defeat in their last 10 Championship matches. Steve Cooper’s men have claimed eight wins in that run, including a 1-0 victory at Peterborough United last Saturday.
While Nottingham Forest have generally been in good form, they have won just twice in their last five away matches and were beaten 1-0 at Luton Town in their previous outing prior to winning at Peterborough.

Fulham have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 11/14 by SBK to claim the win on Tuesday. A victory for Nottingham Forest is valued at 18/5 by Betfred while SBK is also offering odds of 14/5 for a draw.

Players to watch
Aleksandar Mitrovic’s effort at Bournemouth took his tally to 41 Championship goals this season and the striker will be the one to watch for Fulham. He has also scored three times in his last three matches against Nottingham Forest and is priced at 10/11 by Paddy Power to find the net.
Brennan Johnson has played a pivotal role in Nottingham Forest’s recent good form, scoring five goals in his last eight matches. The attacker could be backed to score anytime on Tuesday at 18/5 with Unibet.

22 of Aleksandar Mitrovic’s 41 goals this season have been the opener and the striker to be tipped to score first on Tuesday at 11/4 with Paddy Power.
