As we look ahead to one of four Premier League fixtures scheduled for Sunday, you will find the latest pre-match odds and free bet offers
Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest hope to get back to winning ways at the weekend as both sides head into their meeting at the Amex on Sunday enduring a poor run of form.

Form
Brighton & Hove Albion suffered a heavy 4-0 loss at Roma in the Europa League in midweek whilst their recent domestic form has left a lot to be desired. The Seagulls lost 3-0 at Fulham in their last league game. Roberto de Zerbi’s side have now failed to score in three consecutive games in all competitions.
Despite their poor run of form, Brighton are 9th in the Premier League and a return of 39 points from 27 matches puts them right in the mix for European qualification.
Nottingham Forest head to the south coast on the back of one win in seven league games since the turn of the year. 24 points from 27 matches puts them 17th in the league, just four points above the relegation zone. Nottingham Forest were however unlucky not to earn a point last weekend, going down 1-0 to Liverpool thanks to a 99th minute winner from Darwin Nunez.
Brighton & Hove Albion v Nottingham Forest: head-to-head
Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest have only met once at the Amex in the Premier League and the corresponding fixture last season ended goalless. In this season’s reverse fixture at the City Ground, Brighton earned a rare away win as a Joao Pedro brace helped them to a 3-2 win in November.
Best betting tips
Despite their mid-season wobble, Brighton’s home form remains fairly strong. The Seagulls are unbeaten in eleven home league games, a run stretching back to August. Against a Nottingham Forest side with just two wins in 13 away league games, a home win is likely to be on the cards on Sunday. Brighton to win is generously priced at 4/5.
With the likes of Joao Pedro, Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March all still absent through injury and Evan Ferguson without a league goal since the win at Nottingham Forest in November, an extra goal-scoring burden has fallen on the shoulders of Simon Adingra and Pascal Gross. Both players have looked in need of a rest in recent weeks but managed a full 90 minutes in Rome on Thursday. Either player could prove a real bargain in the goalscorer markets. Adingra is 17/10 to score at any time whilst Pascal Gross, Brighton’s first-choice penalty taker, is excellent value at 3/1 in the same market.
