Nottingham Forest are enjoying the best period of their season as they head into round 13 of the Premier League. This weekend, they will be at the City Ground to host Brighton. Both teams have lately been involved in key victories and come here confident of extending their recent runs. In the league standings, though, seven points separate the two sides, and Nottingham are placed 16th while Brighton are sixth. Let’s have a look at the prediction for this match. 

It took three managers at Nottingham Forest for the Tricky Trees to get it right this season. Sean Dyche is working magic, and the team is currently on a five-game unbeaten run. 

Brighton have also been on a solid run in their recent outings and will go into this game confident of bagging three points. The Seagulls are unbeaten in their last three outings, but their away form needs some attention.

Nottingham Forest - Brighton: Form Analysis

The last time Nottingham Forest hosted this match, they thrashed Brighton 7-0. A repeat of that is highly unlikely, but the home teams come here in flying form.

Nottingham Forest claim another win in the Europa League, beating Malmo 3-0 at home. That was not just their third straight win but also the third time on the bounce that Nottingham scored three goals.

It all started with a 3-1 win at home to Leeds, and then they thrashed Liverpool 3-0 at Anfield. Thumping Malmo sent the Tricky Trees on a five-game unbeaten run. This is their best run so far in the season.

Brighton are winless in four matches away from home, losing twice.

Brighton will be the fresher of these two, having had no midweek activity. They’ve had a whole week to prepare after their 2-1 comeback win at home to Brentford.

That was their third unbeaten outing, and they won twice in the process. Memories of their last visit here ring fresh, and Brighton will be keen on avenging that 7-0 defeat.

Perhaps that would have been easier in the earlier weeks, when Nottingham was struggling. Right now, Brighton will have to be at their best against this Nottingham side.

Furthermore, Brighton’s form on the road gives them away. The Seagulls have failed to win any of their last four away matches.

Nottingham Forest & Brighton Squad Analysis

The good days at Nottingham Forest could be rocked by news of a possible absence of Morgan Gibbs-White. The forward, who has four goal involvements in the league, picked up a knock in the Liverpool game.

That forced him to miss the midweek Europa League game, and Nottingham will be working overtime to have him available. Murillo, who scored in the Liverpool win, is also listed as doubtful for this game.

In the win against Malmo, he limped off with a calf injury, and it is unlikely he will be cleared for this match.

Ola Aina and Douglas Luiz remain long-term absentees at Nottingham Forest.

Danny Welbeck has been the main man in attack for Brighton. He has seven goals in his last seven Premier League appearances.

Across all competitions, the Englishman has eight goal involvements in the last nine matches. He scored the equalizing goal in the win against Brentford and will be a favorite to score again, as he’s almost assured of starting this game.

Brighton will, however, still miss the services of Kaoru Mitoma. The Japanese winger is nursing a foot injury, keeping him out until mid-December. James Milner is another one expected to sit out this game with a muscle injury.

Our Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Prediction

Brighton will not travel to London with very fond memories of this match. The last time they played at Nottingham Forest, they were thrashed 7-0. We may not see another such scoreline, but Brighton’s away form hasn’t been really desirable.

They come into this game winless in the last four matches on the road, two of them being defeats. Meanwhile, they meet a Nottingham side that has been on the rise and doing even better at home under Sean Dyche. Our prediction for Nottingham Forest v Brighton is that Nottingham Forest wins.

Welbeck to score.

Odds 2.87
While we are backing a Nottingham Forest win, we don’t expect it to be a complete domination. Brighton have also been on a positive run in recent matches, and in Danny Welbeck’s form, we can’t completely rule out the visitors scoring. Our second prediction here is for Welbeck to score.
