Bookmaker Ratings prediction one: Both Teams to Score – Yes – 1.7
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two: Correct Score – Leicester 1-1 Brighton – 6.0
Bookmaker Ratings prediction three: Brighton +1.0 Goal Handicap – 1.44
Both Teams to Score
Both teams to score has been a winning bet in each of Leicester and Brighton’s last three encounters and the Foxes have failed to register just once in their last nine league matches. In addition, both teams have notched in six of Albion’s last eight fixtures in the Premier League, so expect action at either end again at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City 1-1 Brighton
Brighton have tasted defeat just once in their last nine Premier League tests, though six of those games did finish all square. Each of the Seagull’s last five stalemates ended 1-1 and a similar outcome looks possible on Sunday.
Handicap: Brighton +1.0 Goal
Brighton’s defensive record this season is admirable, indeed, just four Premier League clubs have conceded fewer goals since August. Albion’s reliability at the back generally makes them a reliable handicap option most weeks and a 1.0 goal bet in their favour would have landed in eight of their last nine league fixtures.

Preliminary review and match prediction for Leicester City vs Brighton
Leicester came within an inch of recording what would have been a confidence-boosting victory over Tottenham in midweek, though two injury time efforts from the usually peripheral Dutch winger Steven Bergwijn sank the hosts in a dramatic 3-2 defeat.
City have now won just three times in their last ten Premier League fixtures and with their treatment room as packed as ever and their list of absentees consistently long, the depleted Foxes look vulnerable again this weekend.
While the pressure is starting to build on Brendan Rodgers, the Northern Irishman’s counterpart in the opposite dugout on Sunday, Graham Potter, has Brighton purring at present.
Albion have lost just once in their last nine Premier League fixtures and their recent pair of 1-1 draws with high-flying Chelsea highlighted just how dangerous an outfit the slick-passing Seagulls can be.
Brighton have already beaten Leicester once this season (2-1) and City needed penalty kicks to see Albion off in the Carabao Cup when the seasiders last visited the King Power Stadium in November (2-2).
Interestingly, that was the third encounter in as many games where both teams registered and the same market could be worth pursuing when Leicester and Brighton face off again this weekend.
Graham Potter’s charges have impacted the scoresheet in 80% of their Premier League away assignments since the summer, while Leicester have scored in all but three of their 19 fixtures during the same period.
Simon Winter prediction
Leicester could be without up to ten first team players on Sunday and with their ranks severely depleted, a confident Brighton side could take advantage. The Seagulls have already toppled the Foxes once this term and after a run of just one defeat in their last nine league games, they look a solid price at 1.5 in the double chance market.
SAFE BETS
Fixtures involving Brighton have routinely been low-scoring affairs this season and ten of their last 11 league matches have produced under 2.5 goals. Albion’s style of play is more considered than frenetic and as such we expect the scoreline to be relatively modest again when they visit Leicester. With that considered, backing the net to ripple under 2.5 times stands out at 1.8.
GET QUICK RICH
James Maddison has upped his output in the final third in recent weeks and the Leicester City schemer has mustered a notable ten attempts on goal combined his last three appearances against Liverpool, Man City and Tottenham. At 2.7, you can back the 25-year-old to hit four or more shots for the sixth time in eight starts when he lines up against Brighton.
Leicester City vs Brighton first goalscorer
Neal Maupay broke the deadlock for Brighton in the last league meeting between Albion and Leicester in September and in total, five of the Frenchman’s eight goals this term have been firsts. History could repeat itself on Sunday and Maupay can be backed at 5.5 in the first goalscorer market at the King Power Stadium.
Leicester City vs Brighton Team News
Leicester could be without Timothy Castagne, Wesley Fofana, Ricardo Pereira, Ryan Bertrand, Jamie Vardy, Jonny Evans, Daniel Amartey, Wilfred Ndidi, Kelechi Iheanacho and Nampalys Mendy this weekend.
Jeremy Sarimento, Enock Mwepu and Jason Steele are all listed as injured for Brighton while Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk and Adam Lallana are considered doubtful. Yves Bissouma is away on international duty at AFCON.
Starting Lineups

Brighton: Sanchez – Veltman, Webster, Burn, Cucurella – Gross, Moder, March, Mac Allister, Trossard – Maupay
Highlighted Player
Marc Cucurella
Flying Spanish fullback Marc Cucurella has been a revelation for Brighton this season and the 23-year-old rarely has an off day for Albion. Cucurella was schooled at the famed Barcelona academy before moving to Getafe, and the defender made the switch to the Premier League last summer.
