LiontipsNottingham Forest vs Brighton. Prediction and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Nottingham Forest suffered a crushing 0:5 away defeat to Bournemouth in the last round. Quite unexpectedly, the team failed in defense, which had been reliable throughout the season. Thus, an unbeaten streak of nine matches in all tournaments was interrupted. Nevertheless, Nuno Espirito Santo charges occupy a high third place in the standings and are three points ahead of their closest pursuers. The foresters have a home match ahead of them; they have lost only twice at home since the start of the season in the Premier League. In transfer news, we note that Andrew Omobamidele has been loaned to Strasbourg.
Disqualifications and injuries
Sangare will not play today due to injury. Hudson-Odoi may not appear on the pitch, he has an injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nottingham Forest have scored three or fewer goals in six of their last eight games
- Nottingham Forest have won at half-time in six of their last seven Premier League games
Probable line-up: Sels - Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Williams - Yates, Anderson - Elanga, Gibbs-White, Jota Silva - Wood.
Current form
Brighton, like their upcoming opponent, also saw their seven-game unbeaten streak in all tournaments come to an end in the last round. Quite unexpectedly, the Seagulls lost to Everton (0:1) on their home field. Despite a decent advantage, they were unable to break down the Toffees' reliable defense. Fabian Hürzeler team is in ninth place in the standings after 23 rounds and has not lost hope of winning a ticket to the European Cups for the next season - they are six points behind the top 6. Brighton is the most peaceful club in the Premier League - 10 out of 23 matches have ended in a draw. The Seagulls have been successful away from home throughout the season - only three defeats.
Disqualifications and injuries
Brighton have a long list of injured players, which significantly reduces the possibilities for rotation. Today, due to injuries, Cadiola, Milner, Igor, Ferguson, Steele will not play. Estupiñan, March and Viffer are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- There have been no goals in three of Brighton last four matches
- Brighton have not won in nine of their last 11 Premier League matches (six draws and three defeats)
Tentative lineup: Verbruggen - Veltman, Dank, van Hecke, Lamptey - Baleba, Ayari - Gruda, Joao Pedro, Mitoma - Welbeck.

7.60Tip and bets
After the failure in the away game with Bournemouth, the Nottingham Forest players will clearly strive to rehabilitate themselves on their home field in front of the fans. It is too early to talk about a complete decline. Moreover, the opponent in the upcoming meeting is not distinguished by stability, has problems with the composition and does not have an advantage in class. We expect that due to the factor of their home field and reliable actions in defense, the foresters will be closer to collecting three points than the seagulls.
Our prediction is a Nottingham Forest win with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 1.80
Bet on total
Nottingham Forest are successful largely due to their solid defence. We don't think that the failure against Bournemouth will completely throw the hosts off track. And Brighton, as we saw in the game against Everton, have difficulties when it comes to breaking down a well-organised defence. We don't expect more than two goals in the upcoming game.
The second bet is total under 2.5 goals with odds of 1.90
Betting on yellow cards
Let pay attention to a good trend in yellow card statistics. In 9 of the last 12 away matches in the Premier League, Brighton players did not receive more than two warnings. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction - Brighton total yellow cards under 2.5 with odds of 1.84
