Brighton & HA prepare to entertain Nottingham Forest at Withdean Stadium on Saturday afternoon, needing to improve on a poor record between the sides. The visitors have won 3 of the 9 previous games, with the Seagulls winning just 2.
The most recent encounter between these two sides at Withdean Stadium was two seasons ago, in March 2003, the Seagulls carving out a narrow 1-0 victory in a League Division One match.
