Nottingham Forest's 2025/2026 Premier League Campaign
Nottingham Forest navigated the 2025/2026 Premier League season to finish 16th with 44 points from 38 games. Their record featured 11 wins, 11 draws, and 16 defeats, scoring 48 goals while conceding 51, resulting in a goal difference of -3. Home advantage was modest with only 4 wins at the City Ground, complemented by 7 victories on the road, showing a slightly better away form. The team managed 9 clean sheets over the season, split between 4 at home and 5 away.
The campaign was a rollercoaster, with the side resilient enough to avoid the drop zone but not quite consistent to climb higher. Their 11 draws, including 8 at home, suggest a knack for frustrating opponents but also hints at missed opportunities to convert stalemates into wins. The defence conceded just over 1.3 goals per match, which was a factor in several tight contests.
Looking ahead, Forest will be eager to build on this foundation, aiming to tighten their defence and perhaps turn some of those draws into wins. Stability in the Premier League is a platform worth safeguarding before dreaming of loftier ambitions.

Nottingham Forest's 2025/2026 Premier League Campaign
Nottingham Forest's 2025/2026 season was a bit of a mixed bag, with 11 wins, 11 draws, and 16 defeats across 38 games. Their points were evenly chipped away by draws and losses, showing a tendency to drop points in stalemates almost as often as in defeats.
Forest's biggest win streak isn't recorded, suggesting they didn't enjoy a prolonged purple patch. They managed more wins away from home (7) than at the City Ground (4), which might raise eyebrows among the faithful. Scoring 48 goals but conceding 51 left them with a negative goal difference of -3, reflecting some defensive frailties.
Overall, Forest's form was patchy rather than consistent, struggling to string together results and picking up points in fits and starts rather than sustained runs.

Nottingham Forest's Home and Away Form
Nottingham Forest's 2025/2026 Premier League campaign reveals an intriguing home and away dynamic. At the City Ground, they scored 20 goals but conceded 23, managing just four clean sheets. Away from home, they actually found the net more frequently with 28 goals, though they also conceded 28 times, but kept one more clean sheet away from home.
Interestingly, Forest won more games on the road (7) than at home (4), suggesting they perhaps feel less pressure or adopt a more effective approach when playing away. Despite their struggles at home, their ability to score and defend reasonably well away from home provides a more balanced picture of their overall season performance.
Nottingham Forest: Fipster's Prediction Record
Fipster has been cautiously optimistic with Nottingham Forest during the 2025/2026 Premier League campaign. Out of six scored predictions, the model has registered one star performance, two ticks, and three misses. Not quite a flawless crystal ball, but certainly a record that shows some insight rather than a total fog.
This Premier League season saw Forest finish 16th with 44 points, reflecting a mixed bag of 11 wins, 11 draws, and 16 losses. Fipster’s record mirrors that unpredictability – a bit of brilliance peppered with the odd misfire. It's fair to say the model is still sharpening its forecasting boots on the City Ground.
