Brighton & Hove Albion vs Nottingham Forest prediction: FA Cup betting preview, odds and tips
@Source: mirror.co.uk
Brighton & Hove Albion will be looking to complete their redemption arc when they welcome Nottingham Forest who a few weeks ago thrashed their hosts at the City Ground in the Premier League just a few weeks ago as the two sides meet in the FA Cup quarter-finals this weekend. This will be the first these two sides will meet in the competition as the Albion look to secure a spot in the semi-finals for the the third time in seven season whilst Forest have not reached the semi-finals since their last FA Cup final appearance when they lost to Tottenham Hotspur. Forest, with their fine form in the Premier League under Nuno Espirito Santo, are in a great position to end their winless run in the FA Cup having last lifted the trophy 66 years ago while the Albion have only picked up one FA Cup final appearance which was back in 1983 - many fans will remember the famous line "Smith must score" which could have secured their first major trophy and avoid a replay too. Brighton vs Nott'm Forest Preview Fabian Hurzeler's side have seen off Championship side Norwich City as well as league counterparts Chelsea and Newcastle United to get them into the quarter-finals. The Albion have finished two of their cup ties with both teams scoring including their dramatic extra-time win at St James' Park against the Magpies thanks to Danny Welbeck's finish. A repeat of that in today's match is priced at 7/10 with CopyBet at the moment. Meanwhile, Forest have experienced a couple of banana-skin moments along the way. They have seen off Championship strugglers Luton Town, League One Exeter City and Premier League relegation battlers Ipswich Town however despite this the wins were not convincing. Santo saw his side be taken all the way to penalties in Exeter and had to do the same again at Ipswich Town. Equally they will be without top scorer Chris Wood though they will not miss him as much as some have pointed out during the international break. Wood has failed to score in his last four league appearances but Forest have been able to find the goals elsewhere. Brighton vs Nott'm Forest Odds Despite their last meet up and comparing the form over the season, it is Brighton who are the favourites going into this FA Cup tie. The bookies are clearly backing on home advantage despite a sell-out away section in the south stand who will no doubt be full of Forest fans who will be very vocal. The Seagulls are best priced at 5/6 with Ladbrokes at the time of writing this while Sky Bet, Midnite and William Hill are all offering 4/5 odds and Paddy Power offering 3/4. It would be a huge part of their redemption arc story since the last the two sides meet for the Albion to book their place in the semi-finals. Meanwhile, Forest are best priced at 17/5 with Midnite to secure a trip to Wembley Stadium while Sky Bet, Paddy Power and Unibet are all trading 16/5 with William Hill and Ladbrokes all offering 3/1 odds for the visitors to get back-to-back wins over the south coast club.
