Brighton are looking to complete a league double over Nottingham Forest for the fourth time, after 1979-80 (top-flight), 2015-16 (Championship) and 2023-24 (Premier League).

Nottingham Forest are winless in their last five away league games against Brighton (D2 L3) since a 3-2 Championship victory in February 2015.

Brighton ended a six-game winless Premier League run with a 2-0 win over Brentford last time out. The Seagulls last won consecutive games in November, with wins against Brentford and then Nottingham Forest.

Only bottom side Wolves (15) have failed to score in more Premier League games this season than Nottingham Forest (13). Their 1-0 defeat to Liverpool in Vitor Pereira’s first league game in charge was the third time this season they failed to score under a new manager in his maiden game – Ange Postecoglou in September at Arsenal (0-3) and Sean Dyche in October at Bournemouth (0-2) the others.

Only Everton (7,320) and Manchester United (7,125) have awarded more minutes in the Premier League this season to outfield players aged 30+ than Brighton (5,760). Their starting XI for the 2-0 win over Brentford had an average age of 28 years and 355 days, their oldest for a game since September 2023 in a 3-1 win against Man Utd (28y 363d).

Since Lorenzo Lucca scored at Elland Road against Leeds, Nottingham Forest have had 56 shots, 71 touches in the opposition box and accumulated an xG of 3.86 and not scored a single Premier League goal.

Nottingham Forest have shipped 19 goals via set pieces in the Premier League this season – only Bournemouth have conceded more (20). At the other end, Forest have scored the joint fewest set piece goals (8, level with Wolves).

Only Danny Welbeck has more goals in all competitions for Brighton this season than Diego Gómez (9), although seven of his goals have come away from home. Gómez averages a goal every 330 minutes at the Amex, compared to one every 185 minutes on the road in 2025-26.

Nottingham Forest midfielder Elliot Anderson leads all Premier League players for possession won (232) and duels won (223) this season. He’s the only English player on record since 2007-08 to average both 8+ duels won (8.3) and win possession 8+ times (8.6) per 90 minutes in a campaign (min. 1,000+ minutes).

Brighton’s Danny Welbeck is one goal away from scoring 10 Premier League goals in 2025-26, having netted a career high 10 in 2024-25. Only seven players have scored 10+ goals in consecutive seasons while aged 33 or older, most recently Jamie Vardy in 2020-21 and 2021-22 (15 in each).
