Head To Head

Brighton have won five of their last 10 meetings with Forest, with the latter winning three times and two games ending as draws.

Brighton Form

Brighton have been impressive in the FA Cup, beating some strong opposition on the way to their quarter-final clash against Nottingham Forest.

A 2-1 win over Chelsea was followed by an excellent 2-1 win over Newcastle at St James' Park. While they have conceded in both of their last two FA Cup matches, they have outscored their opposition.

Brighton are unbeaten in their last seven matches in all competitions. This run includes wins over Chelsea (twice), Southampton, Bournemouth, Newcastle and Fulham, while they took a point from Manchester City in a 2-2 draw at the Etihad Stadium.

The home side are enjoying a very strong run of form heading into this game.

Nottingham Forest Form

Nottingham Forest have enjoyed their FA Cup run this season, but I predict that they will get knocked out of the competition at the quarter-final stage.

While they have beaten Luton, Exeter and Ipswich to get to this point, they have hardly faced stern opposition. It is worth bearing in mind that they are unbeaten in their last four, but they have lost two of their last three away from home.

I predict that they will score in this one, but I do not back them to secure the win as they are beaten by their hosts.

Verdict

Brighton v Nottm Forest

I am backing Brighton to win this match despite failing to keep a clean sheet for the third consecutive FA Cup match.
