Nottingham vs Brighton Preview and Prediction: A Slim Victory

Latest Nottingham vs Brighton team news

The home team is facing a lengthy injury list: Ola Aina and Douglas Luiz both have hamstring problems, Oleksandr Zinchenko has a groin injury, and Chris Wood is still recovering from a knee injury.

Morgan Gibbs-White did not play midweek, so his chances of starting on Sunday are uncertain. Murillo played 74 minutes against Malmo before being substituted, possibly just to ensure his fitness.

On Brighton's side, Adam Webster, Solly March, James Milner, and Kaoru Mitoma will be unavailable. However, the latter two are expected to return before Christmas.

Striker Danny Welbeck is undoubtedly playing a crucial role for Brighton as he leads the club's Premier League scoring charts with 7 goals in 12 games.

Meanwhile, Diego Gomez is proving to be Hurzeler's trump card in cup competitions with 5 goals in 3 matches, and he will continue to be a significant source of support for Welbeck.

Latest football match prediction: Nottingham vs Brighton

From finishing seventh in the Premier League last season, just two points behind European qualification, to falling into the relegation zone this season – a lot has changed at Forest.

The East Midlands team has undergone a managerial rotation this season: Nuno Espirito Santo was sacked and replaced by Ange Postecoglou – who only lasted eight games.

However, owner Evangelos Marinakis eventually chose Sean Dyche as manager, and since then the team has achieved relatively positive results.

Dyche took over the team when Forest were 18th in the Premier League table. His tenure didn't start well, with a 0-2 defeat away to Bournemouth.

Notably, that was also Forest's only defeat since the former Burnley and Everton manager took over. They have won four of the seven games Dyche has managed (57%).

Currently, Forest have climbed to 16th place and are in stable form with three consecutive wins in all competitions, including a victory against Malmo in the Europa League on Thursday. They enter the match against Brighton with a five-match unbeaten run.

Last season, the City Ground side humiliated Brighton with a crushing 7-0 victory, and while that scenario is unlikely to repeat, three points are still what the home fans are hoping for.

Brighton are heading towards the top group as they enter this round in sixth place, just two points behind the top four.

Defeats against Manchester United in the Premier League and Arsenal in the EFL Cup have disrupted a potentially achievable 10-match unbeaten run across all competitions.

Fabian Hurzeler's team are still in good form, having beaten Brentford at home last week to extend their unbeaten run to three matches.

The visiting team will certainly want to avoid a repeat of last season's humiliating defeat, while also hoping to replicate their 3-2 victory at this venue in the 2022-23 season.

However, Brighton's away form is a major problem: they haven't won an away game since the end of September, failing to secure a full point in four consecutive matches.
