Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The stats suggest there isn't an obvious winner here, but there's plenty of reasons to believe that Nottm Forest and Brighton will find the net twice at least between them. We've seen goals when they've gone head-to-head in years gone by, and neither Nuno Herlander Simões Espírito Santo or Fabian Hürzeler has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies are predicting over 1.5 goals too, with best odds of 1.33 equating to approximately a 75% probability.
