Each team’s starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Bournemouth
The club suffered a 2-3 away defeat to Brentford in the last round. Notably, Andoni Iraola's men led twice during the match. Before this, the team went unbeaten in three consecutive league games, defeating Arsenal (2-0) and Manchester City (2-1) at home, and drawing 1-1 away with Aston Villa. Bournemouth sits in 12th place with a comfortable eight-point cushion above the relegation zone.
Midfielder Ryan Christie will miss the match due to an accumulation of yellow cards.
- No more than three goals have been scored in 13 of the club's last 16 Premier League games.
- In 7 of Bournemouth's last 9 home matches in the Premier League, one team has kept a clean sheet in the second half.
- The club has not lost in the first half in their last 10 home league games (5 wins and 5 goalless draws).
Brighton
Fabian Hurzeler's side became the second team in the Premier League to defeat Manchester City this season. Interestingly, Bournemouth was the first, and in both cases, the score was 2-1. Brighton conceded first against the Citizens but managed to clinch the win late in the match. The team has now secured five victories this season, with four draws and two losses. Three other clubs have similar records, placing this quartet from second to sixth in the league standings.
- Both teams have scored in 6 of Brighton's last 7 league games.
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of the club's last 7 Premier League matches.
- The team has kept a clean sheet in the second half in 5 of their last 6 away league games.
Bournemouth vs. Brighton: Match Prediction
Encounters between these teams in the Premier League are typically fiercely contested. In the last 10 meetings, Bournemouth has five wins, while Brighton has four. In this match, I favor the hosts, as the home advantage is significant in this matchup – Bournemouth has won 4 of their last 5 home league encounters, with the visitors prevailing only once.
Additionally, Andoni Iraola's side has lost just twice in their last 12 home Premier League games (7 wins and 3 draws). In their last three home games, they have defeated not only Manchester City but also Arsenal, and they secured a victory over Southampton as well. Brighton's away form is mediocre – in their last 18 Premier League outings, they have only 3 wins (6 draws and 9 losses).
Therefore, I suggest the prediction – Bournemouth with a handicap (0)
