There will be interesting Premier League action at the City Ground on Saturday, as Nottingham Forest look to get back on track after a recent defeat. Brighton will be the visitors to the East Midlands, as they look to end a long winless run in the competition.

Before Betting On Nottingham Forest vs Brighton

Both Nottingham Forest and Brighton will come into the Premier League restart looking for a positive performance after enduring a miserable recent run of form. Forest were beaten before the international break, as they suffered a 3-2 defeat against West Ham. That loss means that the East Midlands side have now won just once across their previous five matches.

However, that is more victories than Brighton have managed over the same period, as they are winless in five. The Seagulls have been held to draws in each of their last three, and they could drop down the league standings if they suffer a defeat at the City Ground on Saturday afternoon.

Forest holds the advantage in recent meetings between the sides, as they have won each of the previous two at the City Ground. That run comes after failing to win in six against the Seagulls. Forest landed a comfortable 3-1 success in this exact fixture last term. Meanwhile, Brighton are now winless in their last eight against Forest in the top division.

Forest will be confident this weekend based on their strong home record this term. They have already picked up nine points from their opening five matches at the City Ground, and they have gone unbeaten across all matches that they have played in front of their home fans. Meanwhile, Brighton’s offensive play continues to catch the eye, as they have scored at least once in each of their last 28 matches in the competition.
