Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Betting Tips - BTTS

Following the two-week long international break, Brighton and Nottingham Forest return to action for what should prove a thrilling cup clash on the south coast.

Brighton come into Saturday's contest having enjoyed a superb run of form with Fabian Hürzeler's side picking up six victories while remaining unbeaten in seven matches ahead of Saturday's matchup. The Seagulls picked up six consecutive wins before a hard-fought 2:2 draw at Manchester City a fortnight ago.

Of course, revenge could be the name of the game for Brighton after a remarkable 7:0 defeat in their most recent encounter against Forest at the start of February. The hosts remain unbeaten since that shock defeat at the City Ground.

A reliable choice for goal chasers this season, the Seagulls saw BTTS in 12 of their last 15 matches at the AMEX. Brighton also saw both teams score in each of their last four matches.

Nottingham Forest make the trip south also in great form. Nuno Espírito Santo's side won each of their last three matches, and remain third in the Premier League, in what is proving to be a remarkable campaign for the Garibaldis.

Forest claimed a 4:2 win at Ipswich in their most recent encounter, and another high-scoring encounter seems likely on Saturday. Santo's side saw BTTS in five of their last seven matches. 

With both teams determined to make a little bit of history, I expect a potentially classic encounter with plenty of chances and goals at both ends. 

BTTS is my best bet, with over 2.5 goals also likely to land at the AMEX.
