Nottingham Forest - Brighton & Hove Albion predictions

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Nottingham Forest on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Nottingham Forest want to forget their previous Premier League match. Playing away from home they conceded early in the first half and never recovered. As a result, the AFC Bournemouth away defeat is definitely something they want to put behind them as soon as possible.

Brighton & Hove Albion fans are hoping for a better performance than what they saw in the previous round of Premier League. Even though most betting predictions assumed they would come out on top against Everton, they suffered a narrow 0:1 home defeat.

The biggest issue the hosts have is a lacklustre backline. They’re currently on a bit of a trend of conceding a lot of goals – over 5 across their 3 previous matches, to be exact.

With their recent performances in mind, we can expect The Seagulls to perform quite well offensively. They recorded over 5 goals in their latest 3 away games – the lack of home-field advantage isn’t a big factor for them.

The hosts are currently number 3rd in the standings, placing them on track to a Champions League qualification. That said, there’s plenty of time left in the season to chase the 9 points needed for first place – though snatching 3 in this game will not be easy.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite Tricky Trees being seen as the favourites.

Brighton will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Solly March, Jason Steele, Pervis Estupinan will all be unable to perform.

Though a Home Win bet is the best offer in terms of value, the outcome is far from guaranteed. Though there’s a moderate risk involved, the 2.51 odds offered at Pncl are worth it.
