On September 22, 2024 at 21:00, Brighton will face Nottingham Forest in the Premier League. Brighton is undefeated with 2 wins and 2 draws, ranking 6th in the EPL before the start of this round. At the beginning of the season, Brighton won 1 and drew 1 in both home and away matches. Brighton participated in the EFL Cup in midweek and won 3-2 against Wolverhampton Wanderers at home to get back to form. In the previous two rounds of league matches, Brighton drew with Arsenal and were held to a draw by promotion rivals Ipswich. However, in the past 10 matches, Brighton has 8 wins and 2 draws, which is a good start to the season.
Nottingham Forest is also undefeated with 2 wins and 2 draws, ranking behind Brighton only because of goal difference. Nottingham Forest didn't have too many matches to distract them, they beat Liverpool 1-0 in the last round of the league, and they are in good form in the new season. Previously, Nottingham Forest drew with Newcastle United in the EFL Cup, but failed to extend their victory in the penalty shootout. Therefore, the team is now playing on one line, which is more guaranteed.
The stats are tougher on Brighton in this matchup due to the fact that they beat their opponents in both meetings last season. However, this positioning is down from the last two Premier League home meetings.
Considering Nottingham Forest's physical superiority and excellent form in the new season, I think the probability of this match is 50-50, and you can pay attention to Nottingham Forest's undefeated.
