Brighton take on the visitors Nottingham in the round 12 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Tuesday, October 18th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton had become somewhat hostage to its own success, its own progress. Several leading players were sold in the summer, and when Potter was able to give a good start even in such conditions, Chelsea returned for Graham – he went to London to replace Tuchel. However, there is an impression that this option was also prepared, and it was not in vain that Albion quickly found a rather extraordinary replacement. Now Brighton are coached by Roberto De Zerbi, the one who made a name with Sassuolo and worked briefly at Shakhtar. The Italian started well: 3-3 with Liverpool, 0-1 in the fight against Tottenham. Against this background, the defeat to Brentford, especially with a score of 0-2, was a frank failure. Moreover, they did not hold back the most dangerous of the opponent's forwards, Ivan Toney, who made a “double”.

Nottingham Forest were able to please pleasantly last season. Then quite unexpectedly, under the leadership of Steve Cooper, they climbed to the 4th final place in the Championship and, most importantly, was able to win the play-offs. Over the following months, however, the composition has changed very seriously. This, it seems, did not help: if in August there was a victory over West Ham, an away draw with Everton, a passage further in the League Cup, then later, with 22 newcomers, the Foresters lost to everyone in a row. The coach still remained in office, apparently based on previous merits, but the leading scout who spent 150 million were fired. This decision was partly justified by the fact that in October it turned out to finally catch on for a point - the newcomer played 1-1 with Aston Villa. But then Wolverhampton, themselves not without problems, got a victory with a score of 1-0. Ruben Neves goal from the penalty spot in the 2nd half remained the only one.
The last time the sides crossed was in the 2016/2017 season, when both played in the Championship. Then they exchanged confident home victories, 3-0 each. Bookmakers have no doubt that Brighton, which remains in the group of leaders, will be able to deal with the crisis newcomer to the division. We recommend betting that this time the wards of Roberto De Zerbi will be able to win over Nottingham Forest with a handicap of "-1 goal scored".
Prediction for the match: Brighton to win with -1.0 handicap.
