Brighton vs Bournemouth Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League returns with thrilling action on Tuesday night for matchday 27, as Brighton hosts Bournemouth at the Amex Stadium. The Seagulls are building momentum, but will Mitoma once again lead them to another triumph? Find out our predictions and preview below.
Brighton Preview & Form
Brighton has turned things around since the 7-0 humiliation at the hands of Nottingham Forest, as the Seagulls are currently riding on a three-match winning streak across all competitions, beating Chelsea twice in the FA Cup and in the Premier League. They scored two or more goals in each of their last three matches across all competitions, with Mitoma playing a key role by either scoring or assisting in each game. Last weekend, Fabian Hurzeler’s side took another huge step in their push for European football by beating rock-bottom Southampton 3-0 at the St. Mary Stadium thanks to goals from Joao Pedro, Rutter, and Mitoma. Currently, they sit ninth in the Premier League standings with 40 points, only three points behind the top six.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side ended a five-league-match winless streak at the Amex Stadium by winning their last two home games across all competitions, scoring five goals and conceding once during that period. Brighton ace Kaoru Mitoma has scored a goal in each of his last three matches. However, the Seagulls have conceded at least one goal in 9 of their 12 home matches.
Bournemouth Preview & Form
Bournemouth are considered one of the surprise packages this season, but the Cherries failed to build on their strong winning streak as they were defeated 1-0 by relegation-battling Wolverhampton last weekend at the Vitality Stadium. The defeat was their second home defeat in a row, as they were also beaten by league leader Liverpool at the Vitality Stadium some weeks ago. The Cherries have displayed strong attacking flair in recent games, having scored two or more goals in eight of their last ten games across all competitions. Last weekend’s defeat halted their Champions League aspiration momentum, but they still sit sixth in the Premier League standings with 43 points, a point behind the top four.
Andoni Iraola’s side are currently enjoying good away form, as they are currently riding on a three-match winning streak and are undefeated in their last seven away matches, winning five and drawing two. They also pose a strong attacking threat in their away games, having scored two or more goals in each of their last nine away matches.
