Nottingham Forest hit a serious bump in the road at Bournemouth last time out and they will need to respond here against Brighton. The Tricky Trees were thumped 5-0 by the Cherries and they clearly have work to do if they are to cling on to their top 4 status this term. Brighton meanwhile were undone by Everton last weekend and they are in danger of seeing their promising start to the season peter out somewhat.

Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Analysis
This should be an entertaining encounter for all punters and EPL betting sites, between two exciting sides.
Nottingham Forest
Nuno Espirito Santo has been dubbed as one of the managers of the season so far, but he and his side had no answer to the onslaught laid down to them by Bournemouth last weekend. Forest remain in 3rd place in the Premier League table, but too many sides have come before them and faded in a Premier League campaign, for the Tricky Trees and their fans not to worry. They have bounced back on plenty of occasions before though and despite that poor showing last week, they are the favourites for this one with most punters and Premier League betting sites.
Team news: Danilo, Ibrahim Sangare and Callum Hudson-Odoi will miss out here for Forest.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup:
Selz, Aina, Murillo, Milenkovic, Williams, Yates, Anderson, Gibbs-White, Elanga, Jota & Wood.
Brighton
A poor home defeat to Everton is something that Brighton will be eager to bounce back from here and the Seagulls have been decent on the road this season. For Brighton, a top half finish has become almost the minimum expectation of them in recent Premier League seasons and they will want to kick on over the final few weeks of the campaign. Forest away is not an easy game but the Seagulls have the fire power to cause plenty of problems.
Team news: Igor Julio, James Milner, Ferdi Kadioglu, Evan Ferguson and Jack Hinshelwood make up a long Brighton injury list.
Brighton Predicted Lineup:
Verbruggen, Veltman, Van Hecke, Estupinian, Dunk, Baleba, Ayari, Adringa, Mitoma, Pedro & Rutter.
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Prediction
This should be a very good game at the City Ground, between two sides that look to get the ball down and play. Forest need to respond to their hefty defeat the hands of Bournemouth last weekend and they will want to push on for the top 4. Brighton meanwhile remain one of the most dangerous sides in the division and they can beat anybody on their day. This should be a belter and a draw feels the most likely outcome.
Prediction: The match to finish as a draw – 13/5 (+260) – Rhino Bet.
Nottingham Forest vs Brighton – The Ultimate Bet
Draw & BTTS – 4/1 (+400) – Fitzdares
Both sides will want to have a good old go here, and they may end up settling for a share of the spoils at the City Ground.
