Both Teams To Score (-152)
Both teams have found the back of the net in three of their last five meetings. Since being clean-sheeted by the Nottingham on Feb. 1, the Seagulls have scored two or more goals in seven straight matches across all competitions. Nottingham have scored in six of their last seven overall, with the exception being a scoreless draw against Arsenal on Feb. 26. This line is available at -152 at FanDuel Sportsbook.
Nottingham Double-Chance (-110)
Nottingham Forest will be without forward Chris Wood (hip), who scored three goals against the Seagulls in the previous fixture. Nonetheless, the expert is confident in the visitors to keep this game competitive after they played Brighton so well in the Premier League head-to-head. “I’m expecting a closely-fought match between two in-form sides and goals a-plenty,” Eimer told SportsLine.
