BRIGHTON V NOTTINGHAM FOREST (Friday, August 7th, 19.45)

The new season will officially kick off on Friday night as Brighton host Nottingham Forest. Dougie Freedman’s side have a strong recent record at the AMEX Stadium with two wins and a draw in their last three visits. Forest are 11/5 for the victory. Brighton have scored in four out of six pre-season friendlies, with Forest finding the net in all seven friendly fixtures. Get both teams to score in the second half at 11/4. Henri Lansbury scored against Brighton at the AMEX last season and has been finding the net in pre-season, most recently against Aston Villa. The midfielder is 7/2 to score any time. Chris Hughton has been fairly active in the transfer window, one of his key signings so far is more than likely to feature in on Friday night; Bobby Zamora. 12 years later and Zamora has returned to the club that kick started his career. Fancy a dream return for Bobby? The striker is 9/4 to score any time for the Seagulls. Finally, for those backing the home team on Friday; the draw at half time and Brighton win at full time is 4/1.

FACT: There have been 16 goals in the last five fixtures between the sides, including the most recent 3-2 victory for Forest at the AMEX Stadium last season.
