Paul Merson and Chris Sutton disagree over who will come out on top when Nottingham Forest face Brighton at the City Ground on Wednesday night.
The Reds will be desperate to pick up three points as Steve Cooper's side remain in the Premier League bottom three. Forest last won a game in a 1-0 win against Leeds at the beginning of February.
They take on a high-flying Brighton side who are pushing to qualify for Europe next season, although the Seagulls may still be hurting from their heartbreaking FA Cup defeat against Manchester United on Sunday.

But Sutton does not think that will matter as he predicts a 2-1 win for the away side, telling BBC Sport: "Nottingham Forest showed a bit of fight against Liverpool at the weekend but still left Anfield empty-handed. It is going to be just as hard for them to get anything from this game.
"Brighton are going to have to pick themselves up after the disappointment of their FA Cup semi-final penalty shootout defeat, but I thought they were the better team against Manchester United at Wembley.
"I've got to say that, while I admire what Arsenal and Manchester City have done this season, the Seagulls under Roberto de Zerbi are my favourite team to watch, with the confidence they show and the risks they take.
"All the Seagulls players have a great understanding of their team's patterns of play and, while they might be feeling a bit flat after the weekend, I think they will be too good for Forest."
However, Merson disagrees as he thinks the Reds will win 2-1. He told Sportskeeda: "Nottingham Forest did all right against Liverpool and were a lot better than everyone thought they would be, but their defending was atrocious. If you don't win any of your away games, you've got to win at home.
"Brighton just crashed out of the FA Cup. With the way they lost and how long it took, they'll be deflated. Forest could have a chance, because Brighton will have to pick those players up and get them to play again. They've just played a penalty shoot-out in a semi-final and lost.
"This is a different game now, and the timing matters a lot. I'm backing Nottingham Forest to pull off a shock win this week."
