Overwhelming Brighton & Hove Albion will welcome inconsistent Liverpool in the city of Brighton and Hove on matchday 20 of 38 in the Premier League. The venue: Amex Stadium. Kick-off: 16:00 GMT.
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction One: Match outcome: Brighton to win — 3.26
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Two: Combo: Both teams to score + over 2.5 goals — 2.5
Bookmaker Ratings Prediction Three: Liverpool’s total yellow cards: Over 1.5 — 1.7
Brighton and Hove Albion are in top form, having won three of their last four matches across all competitions. Liverpool are without a number of first team players due to injury issues, that explains their lack of consistency this season. Brighton to win this game because they have done well against the big sides, victories over Manchester United, Arsenal and Chelsea already this term.
There’s a massive belief that this game will end with both teams scoring and total goals exceeding two goals. Brighton‘s last four matches ended with both teams scoring and total goals exceeding two. The same for Liverpool, hence this game could end similarly.
Because Liverpool have many first team players out injured, Jurgen Klopp’s side will want to choke the midfield up with workhorses, which would obviously result in some reckless challenges and eventually lead into bookings. Liverpool are expected to get at least two yellow cards before the last whistle of the game.
The Seagulls have won three of their last four matches across all competitions. They have won three of their last five Premier League matches, hence they are in decent form. Brighton are at the 8th position with 27 points after 17 matches.
The Reds may have struggled in their recent games across all competitions but they have won four of their last five Premier League matches.
occupy the 7th position with 28 points after 17 matches.
Both teams have done well in the Premier League in recent weeks, which makes it hard to predict which team will win this time. However, both teams to score looks feasible.
I want to back Brighton to beat Liverpool 3-1. The Reds conceded three goals away to Brentford, so there’s a chance they could concede the same this weekend.
Back both teams to produce at least two goals before the last whistle.
Jakub Moder is injured. Leandro Trossard could be fit for the game.
