Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Brighton Form
In their last three matches, Brighton drew 1-1 with Arsenal before recording another draw with Ipswich in a 0-0 match and beat Wolverhampton with a 3-2 scoreline. Brighton managed to win two of their past six home matches in the Premier League. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored four and conceded nine goals.
Last season, Brighton found themselves comfortably in the middle of the table, and they are expected to maintain that level of performance when the new season begins.
Nottingham Forest Form
Nottingham Forest look solid currently after going three matches unbeaten, which started by drawing 1-1 against Newcastle. They followed that up by sharing the spoils with Wolverhampton in a 1-1 draw, before taking out Liverpool in a 0-1 win. Nottingham Forest recorded a very decent outcome of four wins from six away matches in the Premier League, in which they banged in eight goals, whilst conceding seven. They recorded no draws but in stead suffered defeat twice.
Finishing inside the top half is the bare minimum Brighton expect for this season, but the ideal target is a spot in an international competition.
Brighton have built up a nice momentum, and we doubt Nottingham Forest are capable of getting in the way of the home side at The American Express Community Stadium, as we aim for the home win.
