Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction

Brighton form

A single point is all Brighton can show for their efforts in the past three matches. They managed a 3-3 draw with Liverpool, before getting trounced 0-1 against Tottenham while Brentford won 2-0. In their last six Premier League home matches, Brighton won four times. They've drawn once and lost once, while scoring 13 and conceding four goals.

In a season where everything simply clicks, Brighton might even reach the upper third of the table but right now, they are on course for a solid mid-table finish.

Nottingham Forest Form

Nottingham Forest only managed to gain a single point in their past three games, which kicked off with a 4-0 defeat against Leicester. A 1-1 draw with Aston Villa followed, before Wolverhampton ran out 1-0 winners. In their last six Premier League away matches, Nottingham Forest failed to win even once. In stead, they've drawn one and lost four, scoring one while also conceding 14 times.

Most people predicted Nottingham Forest were in for a seriously tough Premier League campaign and they have done little to counter predictions.

Brighton need to show they are capable of rising to the occasion after the recent setbacks, losing their previous two matches. We favour them to get a real boost of out playing in front of their home crowd and to claim a win.

Brighton took ten points from their last four encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Premier League table. This amounts to three wins after scoring 11 times and conceding five. Nottingham Forest won zero matches and picked up zero points from their last five encounters with teams in the top half of the Premier League. They scored four goals and conceded 16.
