Event Preview
Brighton will be one of the standout teams in the FA Cup this season, and they bring excellent recent form to the table for this home showdown in the quarterfinal stage on Saturday.

Brighton have had a more challenging route to this stage of the competition, having knocked out two Premier League sides in the last two rounds. Their latest win was a fine 2-1 success on the road against Newcastle, with their victory recorded following a period of extra time.

It could be a historic season for the Seagulls, as they are chasing a first ever victory in the FA Cup. They have only appeared in the final once- in 1982-83. But, they have reached the semi-final stage on two occasions since 2018-19.
Nottingham Forest are two-time winners of the FA Cup, but they haven’t reached the semi-final stage since 1990-91. The Tricky Trees are enjoying an excellent season, and they sit third in the Premier League standings after winning each of their last two matches.
Forest have needed their fair share of luck to reach this stage of the competition, as they have progressed following penalties in each of the last two rounds against Exeter City and Ipswich Town.
Brighton vs. Nottingham Forest Picks
It is strange to see Forest as the massive outsiders in the betting based on their excellent form this season. Meanwhile, it is also important to note that they recorded a huge 7-0 win over Brighton last month. Therefore, a chance could be taken on the Tricky Trees securing their spot in the final four.
