Brighton Vs Nottm Forest: Seagulls chase back-to-back wins in Premier League 28th round
brighton vs nottm forest meets on Mar 1 in the Premier League’s 28th round at the Amex, a fixture that hands Brighton a chance to register successive league wins for the first time since November and puts pressure on 17th-placed Nottingham Forest.
Brighton ride momentum from 2-0 win over Brentford
Brighton arrive having beaten Brentford 2-0 in West London on Feb. 21, goals coming from Diego Gomez and Danny Welbeck that delivered their eighth top-flight victory of the season and left them nine points clear of the bottom three.
The Seagulls have scored 36 goals in 27 matches and allowed 34 in 27, giving them an eighth-place goal differential in the league standings. That scoring return underpins Brighton’s push for a ninth league win on Mar 1 and the chance to steady a season that has seen inconsistent runs.
Brighton Vs Nottm Forest at the Amex
Nottingham Forest head to the Amex after a 1-0 home defeat to Liverpool on Feb. 22, a match decided by Alexis Mac Allister’s 97th-minute winner at the City Ground. Forest have scored 25 goals in 27 matches and conceded 39 in 27, leaving them with a -14 goal differential and 17th in the table.
Forest outshot Liverpool 18 to 10 in that Feb. 22 match, and Elliot Anderson led his side with two shots in the effort. With those recent numbers—25 goals scored and 39 conceded—Forest’s defensive frailties and scoring challenges frame their trip to the south coast.
What’s at stake for both clubs
Brighton are aiming to string back-to-back league victories for the first time since November and to move closer to securing top-flight safety with a potential ninth win. Nottingham Forest, meanwhile, sit two points clear of 18th place and could drop into the bottom three if they lose and results elsewhere go against them; a loss would make their 15th league defeat of the season a more urgent problem ahead of the final run of fixtures.
Stat lines underline the contrast: Brighton’s 36 goals in 27 matches compare with Forest’s 25 in 27, while Brighton’s 34 goals conceded sits against Forest’s 39 conceded in the same number of matches. Those concrete figures shape the immediate tactical demands for managers on Mar 1.
The match on Mar 1 at the Amex is the next confirmed event for both teams: Brighton aiming for consecutive wins and Nottingham Forest seeking points to climb clear of the relegation zone.
