In the last two rounds, Fabian Hurtzeler's charges have only gained one point: they played a draw at home against Wolverhampton (2:2), and then lost away to Liverpool with a score of 1:2. It should be noted that Brighton conceded at least two goals in 5 of their last 6 Premier League matches. Defender Adam Webster, midfielders Matt O'Riley and James Milner, and forward Solly March will miss the game due to injuries. - The club has not won in 6 out of the last 8 league matches (4 draws and 2 losses). - Both teams have scored in 5 out of the last 6 Brighton's Premier League games. - Fabian Hurtzeler's men have a 5-match unbeaten streak at home in the Premier League (2 wins and 3 draws). Manchester City The Mancunians suffered a sensational defeat away to Bournemouth (1:2) in the last round. As a result, their long 32-match unbeaten streak in the Premier League was snapped (26 wins and 6 draws). The Citizens also lost the championship lead, falling behind Liverpool by two points. Additionally, they lost their status as the Premier League's best attack (21 goals), with Tottenham now the most prolific club with 22 goals. Out due to injuries are midfielders Rodri Hernandez and Oscar Bobb, as well as defenders Ruben Dias and John Stones, forward Jack Grealish. - Manchester City has won 16 out of the last 19 league games (2 draws and 1 loss). - Both teams have scored in 8 out of the last 9 Manchester City's Premier League encounters. - At least three goals have been scored in 7 out of the last 9 Premier League matches involving the Mancunians. Brighton vs Manchester City: Match Prediction Encounters between these opponents tend to be high-scoring affairs. Since Brighton's promotion to the Premier League, the teams have met 14 times, and not once have there been fewer than two goals. The advantage is clearly with the Citizens, but in the last seven league encounters, the hosts of the upcoming match have managed to score against the Mancunians five times. Moreover, both teams have scored in 3 of the last 4 personal meetings at the Amex Stadium. Brighton has solid home performances. The club rarely leaves the pitch without scoring – in their previous 32 home Premier League matches, the team scored against their opponents 27 times. However, the club also conceded in 23 out of their last 27 home games in the Premier League. Manchester City has been conceding frequently. In their last nine league matches, Pep Guardiola's men have managed to keep a clean sheet only in the encounter with Southampton. It's also worth mentioning the injuries to two of the Citizens' central defenders, which already had an impact on Tuesday's away match against Sporting in the Champions League. My prediction is "Both teams to score – yes" with odds of 1.53. Author: Oleksandr Oleksenko
