In-form Brighton and Notts Forest meet at the Amex on Saturday evening, in an intriguing looking FA Cup quarter final clash. The two teams met just seven weeks ago in the Premier League, in a game that saw Forest demolish the Seagulls 7-0. However, since that humiliating afternoon at the City Ground, Brighton have bounced back to win six of their subsequent seven games. That fine run includes a dramatic extra time victory over Newcastle in the last round of the Cup and a highly creditable 2-2 draw with Manchester City last time out.
Forest are on course for a remarkable top four finish in the Premier League and they currently have a six point cushion over the teams chasing them for a Champions League place. Their run to the Cup quarter-final has also been a dramatic one, and they have needed penalty shoot outs to get past Exeter and Ipswich in the last two rounds. Should they win on Saturday, it will be the first time Forest have reached the final four of the competition since 1991.

Our Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
Brighton go into this game as big favorites, partly because Forest are widely expected to rest a few key players ahead of the Premier League run in. However, we think the visitors will have enough squad depth to still push the Seagulls all the way, especially as Brighton can sometimes struggle at home against sides that like to play on the break. That makes the long odds of 3.85 on the game being all square after 90 minutes far too short to turn down. Our prediction for Brighton and Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest is: Draw.
