Bournemouth vs Brighton betting tips summary

• Antoine Semenyo to have 3+ shots – has achieved this in the opening three EPL matches.
• Both teams to score – has happened in their last two H2H meetings.
• Bournemouth to have the most corners – has landed in their last five matches.

The pride of the South Coast is on the line this weekend in the EPL, as Bournemouth welcome Brighton to the Vitality Stadium on Saturday afternoon at 1500 (BST).

The 2025/26 season seems to have brought fresh aspiration to Bournemouth, as Andoni Iraola’s side aim to build on last year’s top-half finish and further challenge those who sit on top of the Premier League hierarchy. 

Buoyed by their 1-0 away win against Tottenham in gameweek three, the Cherries are establishing a robustness in their defensive structure, despite the departures of Milos Kerkez, Ilya Zabarnyi and Dean Huijsen in the summer transfer window. 

Brighton’s 2025/26 Premier League campaign so far has opened with a combination of grit, irritation and a flash of brilliance that reminded critics why the Seagulls have become one of the league’s most exciting sides. 

Fabian Hurzeler’s team sits mid-table after three games, and a remarkable 2-1 home victory over Manchester City in gameweek three could be the catalyst for a very successful campaign. 

What are the best bets for Bournemouth v Brighton?  

Antoine Semenyo to have 3+ shots

Semenyo is a prolific shot-taker and has established himself as one of the league’s most direct wingers this season, having had three shots in each of his three games this season.

The Ghanaian international had 5 shots against Brighton in his last game at the Vitality.

Both teams to score

In their combined six games so far this season, both sides have scored in their respective fixtures in five of them.

H2H analysis also highlights the attacking quality of the two sides, with both teams scoring in three out of the last four meetings between the two teams. 

Bournemouth to have the most corners 

Under Iraola, the Cherries have placed an added emphasis on possession, ultimately controlling the vast amount of games they play in, especially against teams around or below them in the table.

This approach leads to a flurry of corner kicks and Bournemouth have had the most corners in their last five games in all competitions.

The last time these sides met at the Vitality, Bournemouth had seven more corners than Hurzeler’s team.
