Bet of the day: Brighton to beat Forest and both score in Friday fray

Seagulls can prey on Forest backline bloopers

There’s certainly a recent precedent for both Brighton and Forest finding the target in their tussles with each other, as the two teams have each been on target in five of their previous seven meetings.

Coastal club the Seagulls ran out victorious in both of their Championship battles against Nottingham last term, which is why they get the nod to edge this early encounter.

While, the seaside boys also finished 34 points ahead of their upcoming Midlands opponents in the English second division season just gone.

Chris Hughton’s East Sussex side have notched four times in their two outings across all competitions so far, and are undefeated. While, Forest have also been scoring for fun with six strikes from their pair of Championship and EFL Cup clashes, though they crucially also conceded four along the way.

This defensive frailty should allow Brighton to swoop and, as the Seagulls enjoyed success with both teams scoring in their very last wrangle with Forest, this 4/1 (max stake £20) match special for a repeat looks terrifically tasty!
