NOTTINGHAM, England (Interstat) — Nottingham Forest and Fulham will meet Sunday at The City Ground in a Premier League match with implications for the mid-table standings, a rematch of a tight December contest won by the visitors.

The game, scheduled for March 15, 2026, sees 15th-place Forest host 11th-place Fulham. The Cottagers earned a 1-0 victory in the reverse fixture on Dec. 22, 2025, a result Forest will be eager to avenge on home soil.

Forest (8-10-9) enters with momentum from a resilient 2-2 draw at reigning champion Manchester City on March 4. However, form has been inconsistent, with just one win in their last five league matches (1-2-2). Manager Nuno Espírito Santo will rely on a defense that has secured clean sheets against Arsenal and Brentford this season, but a leaky spell saw them concede three goals in a loss to Leeds United on Feb. 6.

Fulham (11-6-10) arrives after a frustrating 1-0 home loss to West Ham United on March 4, which snapped a two-game winning streak. Marco Silva’s side has shown a capacity for surprise results, including a 2-1 win over Chelsea and a 2-2 draw with Liverpool in January, but has struggled for consistency on the road.

Key tactical battles will unfold in midfield, where Forest’s industry meets Fulham’s organized press. Forest’s ability to convert home advantage into goals will be tested against a Fulham defense that has been breached multiple times in recent away fixtures at Manchester City and Manchester United.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the projected final score is a 1-1 draw. A point would suit Fulham’s push for a top-half finish, while Forest desperately seeks a win to create distance from the relegation scrap.

INJURY WATCH: Both teams await fitness reports on key players ahead of Sunday’s clash.

WHAT’S NEXT: Following this match, Forest faces a difficult trip to Tottenham on March 22. Fulham hosts Burnley on March 21 in its next Premier League outing.
