S.P.Read Esq: Brighton v Nottingham Forest
Our daily columnist and pundit S.P. Read Esq. looks ahead to the start of the new Championship season this evening with BRIGHTON v NOTTINGHAM FOREST and finds the best opportunities available on Star Spreads, the home of sports spread betting.
It wasn’t exactly the best start to the trade on Astra Giurgiu last night when West Ham took the lead after just four minutes but Astra Giurgiu got right back into the game and were 2-1 up HT with no further goals in the second half to land a small profit on the recommended Star Spreads superiority bet.
We’ve officially arrived at the start of the new season with the first Championship season tonight at the Falmer Stadium where Brighton host Nottingham Forest (7.45pm SKY).
An interesting stat is that Brighton have lost their last three opening day fixtures whereas Forest have won their last three.
Both teams ended the last campaign in miserable form but there will be plenty of new signings on display from both sides tonight.
Notably, of course, Bobby Zamora who returns for Brighton after a 12-year absence.
Fellow striker Sam Baldock could also return after a knee injury.
Debutants Jack Harper, Vahid Hambo, Gaetan Bong, Tomer Hemed and Liam Rosenior are all possible starters.
Forest are also likely to give plenty of new signings an outing as they are particularly injury hit with strikers Britt Assombalonga (knee), Matty Fryatt (Achilles), skipper Chris Cohen (knee) and Andy Reid (groin) all missing.

I think there could well be goals tonight in the hope that both teams will be charged up at the start of the new season. I’m a seller of the third match goal at 79 minutes with Star Spreads.
