Two sides that will be in desperate need of maximum points in the Premier League will lock horns this weekend. Nottingham Forest will be chasing a second straight home win when they host a Brighton side that have found victories hard to come by in recent months.
Nottingham Forest will be back in action at the City Ground this weekend, as they chase a second straight home success in the Premier League. However, Steve Cooper will be hoping for a better defensive performance from his side this weekend, as they were beaten 3-2 by West Ham at the London Stadium before the international break.
It would be easy to say that the wheels seem to have come off for Brighton in the Premier League, as they are dropping down the league standings quickly. The Seagulls come into this match after playing out draws in four of their previous five, but a return to winning ways at the City Ground could see the Seagulls end the round in the top six positions.
Brighton’s attacking threat hasn’t diminished during their poor run of results, as they have now scored in each of their last 28 matches in the Premier League. Only four teams in Premier League history have enjoyed longer scoring sequences, with Liverpool being the most recent to achieve the feat after scoring in 36 consecutive matches between March 2019 and February 2020.
Forest will take huge confidence from their home record before this fixture on Saturday. They have picked up nine points from five matches already this term, which is more than they had managed in their opening five at the start of last season. However, they have lost all four matches that they have played against sides that finished above them in the standings last term.
Forest have landed victories in each of their previous two home league matches against Brighton. That came after a run of six at the City Ground without victory. Brighton have gone eight without a win against Forest in the top division in English football.
This is a very tricky fixture to call in the Premier League, with both sides keen to get back on track. The narrow preference is for Forest to continue their strong home record, but a better betting angle could be on over 2.5 goals being scored.
