Nottingham Forest is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 2 of their last 4 matches with no losses in their last 5, and their defense has been very good. They have won their last 2 straight away matches, not allowing a goal in either match, and they are coming off of a 1-0 away win against Liverpool in their last match. They did catch Liverpool right before they had to travel for a Champions League match though, and they are going to come back down to Earth in this match. Their attack has not been great this season as they have not scored more than 1 goal in any of their 5 matches. They are going up against a Brighton side that has also been in good form recently and has been scoring a lot of goals. They have won 4 of their 6 matches this season with no losses in that span, including cup matches, and their attack has been on fire as they have scored at least 2 goals in 4 of those 6 matches. Their defense has not been bad either, keeping 2 clean sheets in their last 4 matches and also allowing just 2 goals in their 4 league matches this season. They drew 0-0 at home with newly promoted Ipswich Town in their last Premier League match, but they will be hungry to correct that performance with 3 points here. They also found their attack again midweek with a 3-2 win against the Wolves in the EFL Cup. Nottingham Forest has been in good form this season but Brighton has a lot more quality in their squad to break down this defense and Nottingham just will not be able to keep them out here while their attack continues their struggles. Brighton will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
