Command Analysis

Brighton & Hove Albion

Current form
Under the leadership of Fabian Hürzeler, Brighton entered the season with more than confidence. In the Premier League, the Seagulls have scored eight points in four rounds and have not suffered a single defeat. In the League Cup, they managed to get through two rounds, beating Crawley Town (4:0) and Wolverhampton (3:2). Of the negative moments, it is worth noting only that they were unable to open up the defense of Ipswich (0:0). It is important that under the new coach, Brighton is working reliably in defense - the team has conceded only two goals in four rounds.
Disqualifications and injuries
O'Reilly, Milner and March are all injured and will not play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brighton have kept a clean sheet against Nottingham Forest in their last four home games
- At least one team has failed to score in six of Brighton's last eight home Premier League games
Tentative lineup : Verbruggen - Veltman, van Hecke, Dank, Hinshelwood - Baleba, Wiffer - Minthe, Rutter, Mitoma - Welbeck.

Nottingham Forest

Current form
Nottingham players are clearly approaching the upcoming match in high spirits. In the last round, the Foresters made a big splash, beating Liverpool away with a minimal score of 1:0. Of course, that game was not easy, they had to sit in defense almost the entire match, but the team held out. In general, Nuno Espirito Santo's charges can definitely put the starting period of the season as an asset, as they have not suffered a single defeat in four rounds, gaining eight points. They only failed to show themselves in the League Cup, where they lost to Newcastle in a penalty shootout in the 1/32 finals.
Disqualifications and injuries
Midfielder Danilo dos Santos de Oliveira is out for the rest of the year due to injury, while midfielder Ibrahima Sangare is also out for two months due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Nottingham Forest have scored goals in seven games in a row
- In the last five matches in the championship, the "foresters" opened the scoring
Probable line-up : Sels - Aina, Milenkovic, Murillo, Moreno - Anderson, Ward-Prowse - Elanga, Gibbs-White, Hudson-Odoi - Wood.

7.20Tip and bets
Both teams have had a successful start to the Premier League and have not lost a single game yet. At the same time, Brighton is playing at home today, is very organised in defence and clearly uses the slightest chances in attack. Last season, the Seagulls were stronger than the Foresters twice, we think that today they will also score three points on their home field.
Our prediction is a Brighton win at odds of 1.80
Bet on total
Nottingham Forest should not be underestimated - in seven matches in a row, the "foresters" have scored goals. At the same time, Brighton are doing well with the implementation and the "seagulls" are capable of scoring their own goals. There is a high probability that, as in two of the three previous face-to-face matches, today there will be an exchange of goals scored.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.85
Betting on yellow cards
Brighton have not received more than a yellow card in six of their last seven home Premier League games, so we recommend another betting option.
