Stuck in a relegation battle, Nottingham Forest will visit Falmer and the Seagulls from Brighton & Hove Albion. Week 28 game will begin on Sunday, March 10, at 3pm CET.
Brighton & Hove Albion
While the Seagulls remain as one of the most exciting teams to watch in European soccer, it is hard to expect Brighton to compete in the multiple tournaments with the same level of success.
While a trip to Rome to face off the local Roma in Europa League looms ahead, there is a clear fatigue coming in for the squad. The Albion could not score against either Wolverhampton Wanderers or Fulham, barely scraped a draw against Everton and now sit five points behind Manchester United in a race for sixth spot in the EPL.
Nottingham Forest
While Everton getting four out of ten points back pushed the Toffees above Nottingham in the table, the Forest are still four points clear of the relegation zone.
Two times European Cup of Champions winners nearly played spoiler to a Liverpool season, as the Reds scored after nine extra minutes to escape with three points. It has quietly recently become a story of the Forest’s season - score enough to make a game close, but then suffer a heartbreak.
Prediction ⚽️
Even the first round clash with Brighton & Hove Albion followed the same story, as Nottingham Forest scored first, then gave up three, then scored again to attempt a final push but fell “2-3” at the finish line.
While the Forest will travel south, Brighton themselves will not be at 100% after a clash in Rome on Thursday. That gives us a chance to side with the visitors to cover the (+1) spread with 1.70 odds 🔥.
