Brighton vs Nottingham Prediction & Betting Tips (10 March)

Brighton currently occupies 9th place in the Premier League, 3 points behind 7th place, which could be European depending on the identity of the FA Cup winner. The Seagulls are not quite living up to expectations this season and are displaying a very detrimental chronic pattern of irregularity. They have only won 2 of their last 8 league matches, for 3 draws and 3 defeats. After winning against bottom-placed Sheffield United 0-5, Roberto De Zerbi's men let slip during the last 2 days. They were held to a 1-1 home draw by Everton before losing to Fulham last weekend 3-0. This week, Brighton were outclassed at Roma in the round of 16 first leg of the Europa League 4-0.

Note that the FA Cup journey recently ended following an elimination at Wolverhampton in the round of 16 1-0.17th in the Premier League with 1 game more and 4 points ahead of the first relegated team, Nottingham Forest is under the threat of a descent this season. On the tough side, Morgan Gibbs-White's teammates have only won once in the last 7 days, for 1 draw and 5 defeats. After winning against West Ham 2-0, they logically fell against the big names Aston Villa 4-2 and Liverpool last weekend following a goal conceded after added time 0-1. Recently eliminated by Manchester United in the round of 16 of the FA Cup 0-1, Nottingham Forest can focus on remaining in the Premier League.

Several important elements have been missing from Brighton in recent times. This is again the case this weekend with the withdrawals of the important Brazilian striker Joao Pedro (8 goals and 2 assists in PL), the starting wingers Mitoma and March, the versatile Milner and the very promising Hinshelwood (18 years old, 3 goals in PL). Substitutes during the last day, the very influential midfielder Gross (4 goals and 10 assists in PL) and the winger Adingra (6 goals in PL) should logically find their place in the starting 11. Nottingham Forest must still do without them. side Tavares (ex-OM) and Aina, injured.

Added to this are the uncertainties surrounding the participation of African champion defender Boly and the important striker Wood (8 goals in PL). Replacing on the last day, the Nigerian Awoniyi (6 goals and 3 assists in PL) could this time be started. Fellow attackers Gibbs-White, Elanga, Hudson-Odoi and Origi are also available. In goal, former Strasbourg player Matz Sels is having a difficult start.
