Nottingham Forest vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction
Nottingham Forest are currently 19th in the league, one point behind 17th-placed Leicester City. They have lost their last four league games, and given they have now entered the final run of the competition, it is not ideal to lose form at such a critical juncture.
Steve Cooper has been backed in the transfer market, and even signed a new contract last year. However, given the amount of money they have spent, relegation is simply unthinkable for Nottingham Forest.
Brighton & Hove Albion, on the other hand, are eighth in the league, and there has been nothing but praise for Roberto De Zerbi. De Zerbi has accelerated the club's development in the league following his arrival, and already players like Kaoru Mitoma, Evan Ferguson and Pervis Estupinan have established themselves as players to keep an eye on.
We expect Brighton & Hove Albion to win this game.
Prediction: Nottingham Forest 0-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
