NOTTINGHAM, England (Interstat) — Nottingham Forest opened its Premier League season with a 1-0 victory over Fulham on Sunday, March 15, 2026, at The City Ground.

The lone goal, scored in second-half stoppage time, secured the win for the home side. The match was a physical contest, producing five yellow cards. Fulham’s Neco Williams was booked in the 18th minute, followed by Sander Berge (32nd), Elliot Anderson (45+2’), Antonee Robinson (61st) and Joachim Andersen (75th).

The result defied the pregame projection from Interstat’s game simulator, which had forecast a 1-1 draw. However, it aligned with the same service’s ELO rating, which gave Forest an 88.30% probability to win. With the win, Forest begins its campaign at 1-0-0, while Fulham starts 0-0-1.
