Brighton vs Nottingham Forest
England – Premier League
Date: Tuesday, 18 October 2022
Kick-off at 19:30 UK/ 20:30 CET
Venue: Amex Stadium.
Recently-promoted Nottingham are finding out just how hard it is to survive in the English top flight. It is a totally different ballgame in the PL, and they are not doing good. Brighton, who are going after a top-five spot are expected to have a field day at the office against them.
Nottingham are placed 19th in the table at the moment, and so far they managed a single win. They are one of the only two teams in the league to have remained winless in the past five fixtures in the competition, and even more worrisome is the fact that four of these were losses.
Going on, only one other team managed to score fewer goals than them in the entire tournament, and only the dead-last placed Leicester let in more.
On top of that, they have a 100% losing record on the road so far barring a draw. And they were able to find the back of the net just once in total in all of their away fixtures combined.
Meanwhile, Brighton made a solid start to their league campaign this time around, and of their two losses during this stretch, one came against the in-form Tottenham.
The team is currently placed seventh in the table, but note that they need a surplus of just two points to climb level with the fourth-placed Chelsea. Moreover, they also have a game in hand.
All in all, it appears to me that we should count on a dominant win for Brighton this Tuesday.
Since their defeat against titans Manchester City almost six months back, Brighton lost just twice in total. All along they delivered consistent and dominant performances, and especially so in front of their home crowd.
On the other hand, Nottingham are a new addition to this league. They lack experience, and they are also performing very poorly.
Furthermore, they have a poor h2h record against this rival.
By the looks of things, expect a win for Brighton this Tuesday at their home. Expect goals in plenty against the poor defense of Forest.
