The hope of qualification for the Champions League is moving away for Nottingham Forest, beaten for the third time in four first League matches, Thursday at home by Brentford (2-0), and which is back in sixth place. Third from the end of December to the beginning of April without interruption, the team led by Nuno Espirito Santo unscrews when the finish line approaches.
Four days from the term of the championship, Forest has 60 points, the same total as Chelsea which currently holds the fifth and last qualifying place for the great European Cup. On the podium before the 34th day, Nottingham Forest was doubled by Newcastle (3rd, 62 pts), Manchester City (4th, 61 pts) and Chelsea (6th, 60 pts) which all won.
The Midlands “Reds”, on the other hand, benefit from a rather affordable program with Crystal Palace, Leicester and West Ham to follow, before a final match against Chelsea. Kevin Schade (44th) and Yoane Wissa (70th), author of his 17th goal this season in the Premier League, allowed Brentford (11th, 49 pts) to stay in the wheel of Bournemouth (10th, 50 pts), Brighton (9th, 51 pts) and Fulham (8th, 51 pts).
