Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

A return to winning ways will top the agenda for Brighton when they travel to Nottingham Forest on Saturday. The two sides are six points apart with Forest 14th and Brighton eighth. After bagging 13 points so far, Forest are eight points above the relegation zone and here they have a chance to extend. Things aren’t really stable at Nottingham Forest; they come into this game with two wins in 11 matches. Prior to the international break, they had suffered a 3-2 away loss at West Ham United. That was their second defeat in three matches. While they failed to build on an unlikely 2-0 win over Aston Villa, their scoring run should be a source for optimism. Forest have scored twice in three of their last four matches. They’ve however managed just three clean sheets in the last 10 matches.

Brighton are not only dealing with a long injury list, they are also doing poorly in domestic action. Their two wins in the last 10 matches came in the Europa League, both against struggling Ajax. Coming into this game, they haven't won a league match in their last six outings. Brighton have played 17 matches this season; their wins over Ajax are the only ones to produce clean sheets. They’ve however made up for this shortcoming with a potent attack. In their 17 matches, Roberto de Zerbi’s charges only failed to score once – in a League Cup game against Chelsea. Seven times in their last 10 matches, both teams scored. Here they will hope to register a first win in four away league matches, having lost two of the earlier three.
