Brighton to Win at Half Time and Full Time

Four of the last five head-to-head duels between Brighton and Nottingham Forest have gone over 2.5 total goals and while their last duel was five years ago, we can see this happening again on Tuesday.
After all, Brighton averaged 2.78 goals per game in the league this season, while Nottingham Forest averaged 3.00 goals per game in Premier League until now.

Brighton vs Nottingham Forest Preview: Possible Lineups, News, and Form
The home team is the clear favourite here, but we could still see an interesting game. So, let's take a closer look at both teams now:
Brighton
With four wins, two draws, and three losses in the first nine rounds of this Premier League season, Brighton is one of the biggest surprises and they are sitting in the fifth place in the standings right now. That being said, the team is without a win in the last three games in the league, so they could be slowing down a bit.
When it comes to team news, Jakub Moder remains out for a while now, but Brighton will also be without Enock Mwepu since he had to retire due to a heart condition.
Brighton Predicted Lineup:
Sanchez – Lamptey, Dunk, Webster, Estupinan – March, Caicedo, Mac Allister, Trossard – Gross – Welbeck
Nottingham Forest
Things haven't been great for Nottingham Forest in their return to Premier League after many years since the team started the season with just five points from nine games. In addition to that, Nottingham Forest also has a very bad goal difference, so they are currently in the last place in the standings.
Meanwhile, the team will be without injured Moussa Niakhate, Jack Colback and Omar Richards in the upcoming game.
Nottingham Forest Predicted Lineup:
Henderson – Williams, Cook, McKenna, Toffolo – Mangala, Yates, Freuler – Lingard – Awoniyi, Dennis
