Nottingham Forest has had trouble making an impact in the Premier League, as seen by its present position at the bottom of the table. The away team will need to win this game after losing to Wolverhampton Wanderers by a score of 1-0 last week.
On the other side, Brighton & Hove Albion, who are now in seventh position in the league table, has performed better than expected thus far this year. After suffering a humiliating 2-0 loss to Brentford in their previous match, the Seagulls are out to redeem themselves this week.
Prediction
Under Roberto De Zerbi, Brighton & Hove Albion has seen some transitional difficulties, but they are still on track for a top-10 finish. Leandro Trossard and Pascal Gross, for example, have excelled this season and aim to make an impact this week.
To maintain their position in the top level, Nottingham Forest must overcome their inability to adapt to life in the Premier League. Due to their current superiority, Brighton & Hove Albion should be able to prevail in this match.
