One of the matches in the 28th round of the English Premier League will take place on Sunday at the Amex Stadium, where the local Brighton will host Nottingham Forest. Here's the prediction for this match from the experts at Dailysports.
Brighton
Under Roberto De Zerbi's guidance, the team started well in the current Premier League campaign. However, the unfamiliarity with the demands of European competitions seemed to have strained the Seagulls, causing them to struggle in the league. Presently, Brighton sits in the ninth position in the table, with 39 points accumulated after 27 rounds—11 points behind the fifth-placed Tottenham. Last weekend, Brighton suffered a resounding defeat away to Fulham with a scoreline of 0:3. This loss marked their second in the last four fixtures. It's worth noting that at home, the Seagulls have only lost one out of twelve matches in the current season.
Nottingham Forest
Under Nuno Espírito Santo's management, Nottingham Forest is battling to survive in the top flight. With 24 points from 27 matches, the Reds are only four points clear of the relegation zone. Not long ago, Nottingham Forest defeated West Ham at home, providing a glimmer of hope for their supporters. However, following that victory, the Reds suffered defeats in two consecutive matches against Aston Villa (2:4) and Liverpool (0:1). Amidst such results, perhaps the only consolation is that their opponents are faring even worse. It's worth mentioning that Nottingham Forest has only won two matches away from home this season, losing eight encounters.
