An 11-game winless run has led to Forest’s current predicament. That run includes suffering four straight defeats in the English top flight.
The biggest factor in their current malaise has been conceding too many goals, as Forest has conceded at least two goals in eight of their last nine outings in the English top flight.
In fact, only Leeds and Bournemouth have conceded more goals in the English top flight this season.
Forest has a poor recent home record in the Premier League, as they have failed to win in five home games, having suffered two defeats in three home league matches.
The Seagulls faced FA Cup semi-final heartbreak on Sunday as they suffered elimination from the competition in a penalty shootout against Manchester United.
Despite the defeat, Roberto Di Zerbi’s team is enjoying a fine season. The team from the south coast heads into this game on the back of a run of just one defeat in their last seven league matches.
A decent campaign has Brighton in eighth place in the table, just two points off the top six, with three games in hand on sixth-place Aston Villa.
The Seagulls have been prolific of late in front of goal, scoring at least two goals in five of their last seven outings in the English top flight.
Brighton has a decent recent away record, having lost just once in their last nine games in the Premier League on their travels.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Brighton will dent Forest’s survival hopes and boost their own European chances by recording a victory in a low-scoring encounter.
