Prediction for Premier League match – Brighton vs Liverpool

Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Liverpool to Win – 1.5

Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Liverpool -1.0 Goal Handicap – 2.1

Liverpool to Win

Liverpool have serious title aspirations this season and the Reds’ run of seven straight victories in the Premier League has kept them hot on the heels of leaders Manchester City. Brighton meanwhile, have lost four assignments on the bounce and Albion’s lack of punch in the final third should see them outgunned by Jurgen Klopp’s penetrative outfit on Saturday.

Liverpool -1.0 Goal Handicap

The lack of reliable goal-getters in Brighton’s ranks has held them back all season and ahead of their tussle with Liverpool, Albion have managed to notch just one goal in four games. In contrast, the Reds wield one of football’s most devastating forward lines and fresh from burying ten goals in their last three matches, Liverpool should have the confidence to cut loose again on Saturday.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Brighton vs Liverpool

With seven straight victories in the Premier League, Liverpool are playing with the swagger of title contenders, though the Reds are still six points shy of current leaders and champions Manchester City at the summit of the division.

Perfection has to be maintained if the Merseysiders are to match the Cityzens stride for stride between now and May and Jurgen Klopp will be keen to remind his players that even a single slip up could be enough to wash away their hopes of winning the Premier League for just the second time since its inception.

Liverpool have dropped points in only eight of their 27 league fixtures in 2021/22 and Brighton were one of the few clubs to frustrate the Reds when they battled their way to a 2-2 draw at Anfield in October.

Indeed, Albion have only lost one of their last four meetings with their most illustrious opponents, though their chances of causing another upset against Liverpool in Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off feel slim.

Brighton are reeling following a four-game losing streak and their resolve will have been further softened by the regression in their output in the final third. The Seagulls managed to find the net just once in four tussles with Manchester United, Burnley, Aston Villa and Newcastle, and against a far more formidable Liverpool outfit, they could struggle again.

Jurgen Klopp’s robust Reds have conceded just twice in their last seven league tests combined, while the goals at the opposite end have continued to flow with January acquisition Luis Diaz adding a new dimension to an already ferocious frontline.

At 1.5, there is still enough wiggle room in the odds to make backing Liverpool to win their eighth league fixture on the bounce a plum bet on Saturday.

Safe Bets

With 71 goals in 27 games, Liverpool have been the Premier League’s most prolific team this season and the Reds have notched at least twice an impressive 21 times so far. Brighton meanwhile, have shipped at least two goals in each of their last four matches and with the Seagulls’ defence looking alarmingly leaky, Liverpool are a safe choice to hit over 1.5 goals at 1.5.

Get Quick Rich

At a juicy looking 2.45, bettors on the hunt for a big price this weekend could consider backing Liverpool to win to nil. Brighton have scored just once in their last four league fixtures and their lack of cutting edge could be even more apparent against a rock-solid Liverpool rearguard that has conceded just twice in their last 630 minutes of Premier League football.

Brighton vs Liverpool first goalscorer

If you’re thinking about backing Mohamed Salah in this market, then our advice is to reconsider. Just four of the Egyptian’s 19 league goals for Liverpool this term were opening efforts and better options are available elsewhere. At 5.5, Sadio Mane falls into this category and the Senegalese international has been the Reds’ first goalscorer in two of his last three Premier League appearances.

Brighton vs Liverpool Team News

Centre half Adam Webster is still out for Brighton, though manager Graham Potter has a deep squad to choose from elsewhere. Potter could choose to shuffle his pack a little following his team’s defeat to Newcastle last week.

Like Brighton, Liverpool have few absentees to contend with ahead of the weekend. Roberto Firmino and Thiago Alcantara are expected to be back in the matchday squad following recent layoffs.

Starting Lineups

Brighton: Sanchez – Lamptey, Duffy, Dunk, Cucurella – Bissouma, Gross, Moder, Mac Allister – Trossard, Maupay

Liverpool: Alisson – Alexander-Arnold, Matip, van Dijk, Robertson – Henderson, Fabinho, Thiago – Salah, Mane, Jota

Highlighted Player

Leandro Trossard

Leandro Trossard was one of Albion’s star performers when they took an unexpected point against Liverpool at Anfield in October and the Belgian attacker will be aiming to make a similar impact in Saturday’s return fixture. Trossard has scored twice against the Reds during his time with the Seagulls since his move to the south coast in 2020.
