Preview match Brighton vs Nottingham Forest
Both teams suffered losses over the weekend and will look to recover with a win at the Amex.
Brighton continue to play well to a point but a lack of goals really hurts Roberto de Zerbi’s men.
After tough encounters with Liverpool and Spurs, De Zerbi would have seen Friday night as an opportunity to pick up three points against Brentford.
A 2-0 defeat makes this home game against bottom Nottingham Forest all the more important. A win and the manager’s first win in England are mandatory.
Nottingham Forest have to bounce back from a late penalty which resulted in them leaving Molineux empty-handed.
Despite not getting a point against Wolves, Steve Cooper’s side showed the kind of determination and determination that could save them, but they need to be more disciplined in front of goal going forward.

Brighton vs Nottingham Forest: Forms Guide
Roberto de Zerbi has now gone three games without a win since arriving at Brighton.
Things have kind of fizzled out for the south coast club after an impressive performance against Liverpool on his arrival.
The Italian would have seen a trip to Brentford on Friday as the ideal opportunity to claim a first win after tough encounters with Liverpool and Spurs but it wasn’t to be.
Despite losing their previous game 5-1 to Newcastle, the Bees bounced back and beat Brighton 2-0. De Zerbi will know it’s imperative that Nottingham Forest win at home now.
After noting a point against Aston Villa the week before, Nottingham Forest returned to type against Wolves.
Like Brighton, Wolves have struggled to score this season but clinched the three points from a Ruben Neves penalty.
Forest had an opportunity to salvage a point, but a missed penalty by Brennan Johnson put an end to that.
Steve Cooper’s men will need to show the same courage and determination, but be bolder and more disciplined at the Amex if they are to claim their second win of the season.
He said what?!
Roberto de Zerbi on his side’s inability to find the back of the net:
“I think to win the games you have to score. We had 21 shots but we didn’t find the goals. We lost too many second balls. I think we played a good game but if you want to win , you have to score We We had a lot of chances but we couldn’t find the goal.
“We made mistakes on the last pass. From tomorrow we have to think about Nottingham Forest. We have to know that maybe that’s our problem at the moment because against Tottenham it was the same, we had a lot of shots but we didn’t score. ” .”
How will Brennan Johnson react after his late miss against Wolves?
Brighton vs Nottingham Forest: players in mind
As Brighton’s captain at the helm, Seagull fans will be disappointed that Danny Welbeck has gone nine games without a goal this season.
And it seems to be the same old story for Brighton – nice, attractive football to a point, but little end product. Leandro Trossard and Brighton midfield have closed the gaps but without goals in their last two games Brighton could really use more performance from their striker. Against Nottingham Forest, who have scored 23 goals this season (just behind Leicester), Welbeck should have chances to hit the bull’s eye.
Brennan Johnson missed the crucial penalty that would have salvaged a point for Forest at the weekend.
Keep an eye on how the youngster reacts against Brighton. After the game boss Steve Cooper said: “He’s obviously not great. He’ll be disappointed that he missed the penalty but he’s also scored some really important goals for us over the last 12 months.”
