Paul Merson has highlighted a big Nottingham Forest issue ahead of their meeting with Brighton & Hove Albion on Tuesday (7:30pm).
Bottom of the table Forest travel to the south coast looking to secure just their second win of the Premier League season, and their first in more than two months.
Giving his score predictions for the SportsKeeda website, Merson said: "I watched Nottingham Forest's game [at Wolves] on Saturday and they're really struggling in the Premier League.
"They keep it tight at the back, but they don't seem to score goals. Brennan Johnson missed a big penalty against Wolves, and you can't afford to do that at this stage."

Brighton boss Roberto De Zerbi is still looking for his first victory since taking over from Chelsea-bound Graham Potter last month, but Merson added: "I know Brighton also lost last week, but David Raya was outstanding for Brentford and you can't really moan about that. Brighton have been the better team this season and should be able to win this game."
Merson prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 Nottingham Forest.
