Nottingham vs Brighton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-11-29 14:05.
[p]Nottingham Forest look to continue their resurgence under new boss Sean Dyche when they host a Brighton side who are pushing for the top six. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]The picture now looks a lot brighter for Forest who, since replacing Ange Postecoglou with Dyche, have managed to pull themselves out of the Premier League’s bottom three. Success has been translated on the European front too after they beat Malmö 3-0 on Thursday night to boost their Europa League knockout hopes, the same scoreline by which they beat Liverpool at Anfield in the Premier League last weekend. That victory was sandwiched in the middle of their ongoing three-match winning run, and with Forest yet to taste defeat at the City Ground under Dyche (W3, D1), there seems every chance their revival will continue here. [/p]
[p]High-flying Brighton are sure to provide stern resistance for Forest given that they find themselves in a remarkable run of form across the last eight rounds (W4, D3, L1). Only leaders Arsenal have lost fewer games in that period, but expectations will be tempered somewhat by the fact that only one of those victories came on the road, and even then it was against a ten-man Chelsea. Just 26% of their Premier League points coming away this season shows how heavily reliant the Seagulls have been on their home form, and bearing the psychological scars of a Premier League club-record 7-0 defeat on this ground last season, this is unlikely to be a trip they’re relishing. [/p]
