Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Devesh Jaganath | in Premier League Predictions
Saturday’s lunchtime kickoff in the Premier League will come from the City Ground where high-flyers Nottingham Forest will be playing host to Brighton & Hove Albion. The Tricky Trees are third in the league standings, while the Seagulls are ninth after 23 games. Check out our match prediction below!
After going unbeaten in eight top-flight encounters against this opponent, Forest are now winless in their last three matches against the Seagulls (W0 D1 L2) following a 2-2 draw earlier this season. Brighton won this exact fixture 3-2 last term but have never before won consecutive away league games against the Reds.
The hosts are installed as favourites in this match, but bookmakers seem to be expecting a close contest, with very little to separate these two according to the latest betting odds. Both teams are looking to bounce back to winning ways, but who will come out on top in this weekend’s early kickoff?

Nottingham Forest - Brighton: Form Analysis
Nottingham Forest’s incredible eight-match unbeaten run was brought to an abrupt end last weekend when they were thumped 5-0 by fellow surprise package Bournemouth on the road.
Notably, that result marked the Reds’ heaviest defeat in the top flight this season and saw them concede as many goals as they did in their preceding seven league games combined (4).
However, Forest have only lost consecutive Premier League games once this season!
Additionally, the Tricky Trees will be optimistic here given their form at home, where they are unbeaten in their last six games (W5 D1 L0), and have only lost twice in 11 games to date.
Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion saw their six-match winless run (W2 D4 L0) halted last weekend when they were defeated 1-0 by David Moyes’ Everton at the Amex.
That was the first time the Seagulls failed to find the net in the New Year and just the third match in which they failed to register a goal this season, with the previous two being goalless draws.
The visitors have been good on the road of late, unbeaten in their last five games (W2 D3 L0), while they have taken 19 points from 12 away matches this season to date.

Nottingham Forest & Brighton Squad Analysis
Nottingham Forest were dealt a major blow in their victory over Southampton a couple of weeks ago, with Callum Hudson-Odoi lasting just 38 minutes before he was forced off with an injury.
The 24-year-old attacker sustained what was later revealed to be a groin strain which kept him on the sidelines for the defeat to the Cherries, and he is a major doubt for this weekend.
Ibrahim Sangare has not featured for the Reds since September due to a hamstring injury, but the club is hopeful he will return to the fray next month.
Chris Wood has scored five league goals in his last eight home games for Forest!
Brighton have several players on the treatment table at present, including the likes of Igor Julio (thigh), Evan Ferguson (ankle), Mats Wieffer (thigh) and James Milner (hamstring).
Pervis Estupinan, Solly March and Jason Steele all sat out the home defeat to the Toffees last weekend owing to knocks, and the trio’s participation this week is questionable.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Prediction
Nottingham Forest had no response to Bournemouth’s onslaught last weekend, but we’re chalking that performance up as an anomaly given their excellent form over the last couple of months.

With favourable odds available, we have the luxury of opting for the safety of our money back in the event of a draw. Our Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction is Nottingham Forest draw no bet.
