Brighton vs Nottm Forest Prediction

Brighton have been highly inconsistent this season and are also going through a rough patch. They recently hammered bottom-placed side Sheffield United 5-0 but that is their only win in their last five games across competitions.

The Seagulls were eliminated from the FA Cup fifth round by Wolverhampton Wanderers before they lost 3-0 against Fulham in the league.

Nottingham, meanwhile, have won just one of their last 10 games across competitions, losing the last three. They did put up decent performances in their last two games against Manchester United and Liverpool but lost due to two late goals.

With Brighton also clashing against Roma away in midweek, the fatigue might come into play on Sunday and hence, Nottingham might edge this one out.

Predicted Score: Brighton 1-2 Nottingham Forest
