Stats for this game
Matchup Brighton VS Nottingham Forest
Brighton hold the broader direction
Brighton have the stronger overall record, supported by home and away wins that show their ability to manage different versions of the contest. Brighton won 1–0 at the Amex on 10 March 2024 and 2–0 at the City Ground on 30 November 2025, then added a 2–1 home victory on 1 March 2026. The results suggest a side capable of responding when Forest’s pressure changes the game.
Forest’s upset remains instructive
Nottingham Forest’s 7–0 home win at the City Ground on 1 February 2025 is too emphatic to dismiss as an ordinary reversal. It shows the challenger can exploit space and momentum when Brighton lose control of the contest. A 2–2 draw at the Amex on 22 September 2024 offers a less extreme example of Forest’s resistance, while Brighton’s away success demonstrates that home advantage does not settle the question. A future meeting will ask whether Brighton can protect its structure or Forest can again turn the match into an unexpected margin.
