Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the English Premier League match.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest have turned the City Ground into a real fortress. They allow 1,1 xG on average (5th position). In the first 5 home games the Forest managed to end a game versus strong Brentford in a draw (1:1). They also beat Aston Villa (5:0) in the last game. However, their offensive actions are poor. Nottingham Forest is among the bottom three places in xG (1,18).
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton haven’t won an English Premier League game since September. After beating Bournemouth (3:1) the Seagulls have lost twice and ended their games in a draw on 4 occasions. In the last rounds, Brighton failed to beat their opponents, outsiders Fulham (1:1) and Sheffield United (1:1). Between these two games the Seagulls barely ended a game versus Everton in a draw, thanks to an own goal.
Nottingham Forest - Brighton & Hove Albion prediction
Nottingham Forest have been invincible in their home games this Premier League season. They’re unlikely to make a mistake in a game versus unstable Brighton. The Seagulls earned enough money in the previous transfer window, having sold key midfielders. It’s become a problem for the side as they can’t play in their fast and intensive style. Besides, Danilo, a very important player of Nottingham Forest, is back.
Nottingham Forest will be a tough nut to crack.
