What you need to know about Brighton & Hove Albion
The Seagulls have hit a rough patch after going winless in their last six league games. Brighton settled for a 1-1 draw against Sheffield United in their last match. Mahmoud Dahoud received a red card in the 69th minute, which means he’ll miss Saturday’s clash with Nottingham Forest.
Brighton have scored 25 goals this season, the sixth-most in the Premier League. The Seagulls have scored at least once in nine straight matches across all competitions and they should have success against a Nottingham Forest side that has conceded 18 goals in league play.
What you need to know about Nottingham Forest
The Tricky Trees enter Saturday’s match in 14th place in the Premier League standings, but they entered the international break in good form. Nottingham Forest have lost just two of their last six league games and they’re unbeaten on home soil this season. Nottingham Forest beat Aston Villa 2-0 in their last match at City Ground with Ola Aina and Orel Mangala finding the back of the net.
Nottingham have scored two goals in three of their last four matches, which bodes well against a Brighton side that has failed to keep a clean sheet in all 12 of their league games.
