Match Ups - Mitoma to have more shots than Gibbs-White
Saturday's early Premier League clash promises to be a great game between this season's surprise package, Nottingham Forest, and a usually-reliable Brighton side that suffered a shock home defeat to Everton last weekend.
Mind you, Forest themselves were brought back down to earh in stunning fashion when they lost 5-0 at Brighton, and they'll be eager to put matters right at the first time of asking on Saturday.
It should be a closely-fought game, and although home advantage gives Forest the edge in the match odds market, it's a player Match Up that we're very much interested in here.
Kaoru Mitoma remains one of Brighton's best players, and as you can see from the stats below he's enjoying another fine season with five goals and three assists to his name form his wide attacking midfield position.

What the above stats also tell you is that Mitoma has registered seven more shots this season than one of Forest's main men, Morgan Gibbs-White, and we fancy that at 11/102.11, he'll register more shots than the Forest player on Saturday.
True, Mitoma has played a handful more games than Gibbs-White, but he still edges it when you compare both players' average shots per game this season.
It's also very interesting that Brighton as a team have registered 326 shots this term, which is exactly 30 more than Forest have despite the Tricky Trees sitting third in the table with the Seagulls down in ninth.
When these two sides met in September, Brighton dominated possession (70%) and registered more than three times more shots than Forest (14 v 4), and although the Seagulls are now the away side, they're still the team likely to have more of the ball, and if that's the case then we fancy Mitoma to prove more of a threat than Gibbs-White and register more shots in the match.
