Nottingham Forest vs Brighton Predictions

We’re backing Forest to bounce back this Saturday following their 5-0 defeat to Bournemouth last time out. They have won 13, drawn five and lost five in the league this season, and for them to be third at this stage of the campaign is a fantastic achievement. Despite losing their last game, they have lost just one of their last 10, and I’ll think they’ll get back on track here against a Brighton side who were beaten by Everton last time out. We’re going for Forest striker Chris Wood to score or assist. He has scored 14 and assisted two in the league this season, in 23 appearances so far. He has had 41 shots, an average of almost two per game, with 23 on target, an average of one per game. He certainly knows where the goals are, and I think he’s good odds to score or assist in this one. We’ve gone for two players to be carded – Carlos Baleba and Ryan Yates. Baleba has been carded six times this season, with five yellows and one red card to his name in the league. In 20 appearances, he has made 26 fouls, an average of over 1.5 fouls per game. I expect him to make a number of fouls in this one. Ryan Yates is an extremely passionate player, and I think he will make a number of fouls here. He has been shown yellow on six occasions this season in his 22 league appearances, making 39 fouls in that time, an average just shy of two per game. Both players are good odds for a card here, and taking them both boosts the bet builder to 33/1 with Bet365.
