In the Premier League match that will take place on Tuesday at the Amex Stadium. Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest match will be taking place & they are looking to get back on track after suffering losses over the weekend.

Our Match Preview: Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest
Roberto De Zerbi showed lots of fight on the touchline against Brentford’s Thomas Frank, but his side lost 2-0 in front of their supporters. Ivan Toney’s backheel and a penalty won the game for Brentford, who relied on David Raya to hold Brighton at bay.
De Zerbi is still looking for his first victory as Brighton’s manager after replacing Graham Potter, who left for Chelsea. As a consequence, the Seagulls have slid to seventh in the standings.
Brighton’s place in the standings won’t alter no matter what happens on Sunday, but they have only one victory in five games.
Tottenham Hotspur ended their seven-game undefeated run at the Amex Stadium earlier this month. Brighton has conceded 10 goals in their previous five Premier League matches, and De Zerbi will relish Nottingham Forest’s arrival.
Wolves have scored just three Premier League goals all season, while Nottingham Forest has scored only one away from home. Saturday’s match at Molineux was a snoozer.
Wolves’ returning captain Ruben Neves scored a penalty after 56 minutes, but Forest equalized in the 79th. Matheus Nunes was punished for a tug on Ryan Yates, but Jose Sa was equal to Brennan Johnson’s penalty.
Nottingham Forest’s social media staff pre-emptively tweeted Emmanuel Dennis with three wolf puppies labeled “playtime” before the game. After Leicester City’s draw with Crystal Palace, the newly-promoted Wolves are currently 20th in the league.
Six defeats and a tie in Forest’s past seven Premier League games, including three consecutive away losses by an aggregate scoreline of 11-0, yet Cooper has been given a vote of confidence to turn his side’s fortunes around and is under pressure to do so.
Forest won 3-0 the previous time the two teams played in the 2016-17 Championship season, but Brighton won by the same scoreline at the Amex. It’s not impossible to see a similar situation on Tuesday as Forest searches for a road win.
Our Team News: Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest
Before their match against Brentford, Brighton was dealt a second blow when it was announced that Enock Mwepu would be retiring due to hereditary heart disease at the young age of only 24, and now De Zerbi has been given a new injury worry with Kaoru Mitoma.
The Japanese winger replaced Pervis Estupinan at halftime on Friday, but he received a hit to the ankle and will need to be evaluated.
As a result, he is not anticipated to be included in the team facing Forest. Meanwhile, Jakub Moder has been missing for a considerable amount of time. After the loss to Brentford, De Zerbi stated that he did not believe there was a need to make significant lineup adjustments.
As a result, an identical XI could take the field if fitness permits; however, Tariq Lamptey, Billy Gilmour, and Adam Lallana are ready to provide a new dynamic to the team if it is required.
However, despite the defeat to Wolves, Nottingham Forest will continue to be without Moussa Niakhate (thigh), Jack Colback (back), and Omar Richards (calf), although Cooper did not pick up any fresh worries in the game.
Johnson’s penalty miss was the icing on the cake for an otherwise poor performance by the Wales international.
As a result, Johnson may potentially lose his starting position to Jesse Lingard or Taiwo Awoniyi, while Orel Mangala may replace Cheikhou Kouyate in the center of the field.
Although Scott McKenna is now just one yellow card away from facing a one-game suspension, the 25-year-old is anticipating that he will be able to continue his role as the protecting barrier in front of Dean Henderson with Steve Cook.
- Brighton & Hove Albion Possible Starting Lineup: Sanchez, Lamptey, Dunk, Webster, Estupinan, March, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Trossard, Gross, Welbeck.
- Nottingham Forest Possible Starting Lineup: Henderson, Williams, Cook, McKenna, Toffolo, Mangala, Yates, Freuler, Lingard, Awoniyi, Dennis.
Our prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 Nottingham Forest
The visit of a Nottingham Forest team whose attacking struggles away from home are well-documented is cause for optimism for De Zerbi, who should be feeling confident about his chances of posting his first win as Seagulls boss at the fourth attempt.
The visit of a Nottingham Forest side whose attacking struggles away from home is well-documented. Raya was simply having a career day at the Brentford Community Stadium, and we are backing the Seagulls to pick themselves up and score all three points.
And prolong the Tricky Trees’ misery on the road. Brighton did not lack opportunities when they played at the Brentford Community Stadium, and Raya was simply having a career day.
