Two teams that will be in desperate demand for a return to form in the Premier League will lock horns on Sunday. Brighton have won just once in their last four, while Nottingham Forest sit just four points above the drop zone.
Premier League Preview
There will be important action in the Premier League at opposite ends of the standings this weekend, as Brighton bid to get their European bid back on track. The Seagulls come into this round in very inconsistent form after losing two of their last four, while they have recorded just one win across that run of matches in the English top-flight.
Meanwhile, Nottingham Forest come into this round sitting 17th in the standings, and they are currently just four points clear of the drop zone. There is a real chance that they could drop into the bottom three places depending on whether they are handed a deduction in terms of points. The East Midlands side have lost each of their last two, and three of their last four.
Brighton were well beaten in their previous fixture after losing 3-0 on the road against Fulham. That means that they come into this round of matches after failing to score in their last two domestic fixtures. Meanwhile, their only win in their last five across all competitions was a straightforward 5-0 win over Sheffield United.
Forest have shown very little in the final third of the field throughout the season, and they continue to rank among the worst attacks in the competition. They come into this match after failing to score in their last two domestic fixtures, but they could be considered very unfortunate not to have taken a point from their recent match against Liverpool.
Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Head to Head
Brighton landed a dramatic 3-2 win in the reverse clash between these sides in November, while Forest landed a 3-1 home win in the fixture before that. The previous match between the sides in Brighton ended in a 0-0 draw, meaning that Forest are winless on their last three trips to the Amex.
Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Prediction
The fact that this fixture comes in between a huge European tie against Roma could be a negative factor for Brighton. Therefore, we will be taking a chance on the visitors picking up maximum points in this fixture on Sunday.
