LiontipsBrighton vs Nottingham Forest: FA Cup match betting tip and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Brighton suffered a crushing 0-7 defeat against Nottingham Forest on February 1. That setback clearly shook up the team, as in the next seven matches, taking into account all the tournaments, the Seagulls did not suffer a single defeat. In the Cup, Fabian Hurzeler's team easily beat Norwich (4-0) at the start. Then there were difficult battles with Chelsea (2:1) and with Newcastle, who managed to put the squeeze on only in extra time (2:1). It should be noted that over the past six years, Brighton has reached the quarter-finals of the FA Cup three times, and twice overcame this stage. In the Premier League, in the last round before the break for the national team matches, the Seagulls drew 2-2 with Manchester City and are in seventh place in the table.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kadioglu, Milner, Igor, Steele and Lampty are in Brighton's infirmary. The entry of Dank, Veltman, O'Reilly and March into the field is questionable.

Current form
Nottingham Forest didn't have the most difficult opponents on their way to the Cup quarterfinals, but they managed to get to this stage with great difficulty. First, the foresters defeated Luton Town 2-0, after which they broke the resistance of Exeter City and Ipswich only in a penalty shootout. Obviously, Nuno Espirito Santo and his players are betting on the Premier League, where there is a great opportunity to win a ticket to the Champions League. After 29 rounds, Nottingham Forest is in third place with a five-point lead over fourth-placed Chelsea. In the last round, a 4-2 away victory over Ipswich was recorded.
