Brighton vs Manchester City Match Preview – Premier League Prediction & Betting Tips 09/11/2024
Brighton vs Manchester City Premier League Prediction Match Details
Brighton and Hove Albion will welcome Manchester City in round 11 of the Premier League at the Amex Stadium on Saturday. Will the Seagulls capitalize on the defending champions losing streak?
Brighton Preview & Form
Brighton and Hove Albion have made a positive start to the season under their new manager, Fabian Hürzeler, but they are currently winless in their last three matches in all competitions. The Seagulls suffered back-to-back defeats to Liverpool both at home and away in the Carabao Cup and in the Premier League. However, despite the recent Liverpool defeat in the league, the Seagull are still eighth in the table with 16 points and are in good contention for European football next season.
Fabian Hürzeler’s men have been solid at home this season, as they are yet to lose a home Premier League fixture this season. They will aim to capitalize on Pep Guardiola’s side’s recent struggles as they strive for their first victory against the Champions since 2021.. Goals haven’t been a big issue for Fabian Hürzeler’s side, having scored at least two goals in each of their last five matches in all competitions.
Manchester City Preview & Form
Manchester City will be looking to bounce back from their recent disappointing three-match losing streak in all competitions this season. Pep Guardiola’s side has suffered three consecutive defeats across three competitions for the first time since the Spaniards arrived as the City boss. The defending champions lost to Tottenham in the Carabao Cup and then followed it up with a shocking defeat to Bournemouth in the league. They then were humbled by Sporting CP in the Champions League the last time out. The defeat against Bournemouth saw Pep Guardiola’s side fall behind Liverpool in the league standings.
All their recent setbacks have come away from their home-soil games, and Pep Guardiola will be hoping his current squad can turn the table around. Injuries have played a major role in Pep Guardiola’s recent setback, especially since the 2024 Ballon d’Or winner, Rodri, suffered a season-long injury. The Citizens have scored at least a goal in each of their road games this campaign in all competitions but have conceded goals in each of their league games since they are without Rodri.

Brighton vs Manchester City Prediction Betting Tips
Both sides have plenty of firepower but have looked shaky defensively in most of their games this season. Manchester City is experiencing difficulties with form recently, but we believe they will bounce back and keep the pace with Liverpool and avoid their second consecutive defeat in the league. Based on these, we believe the match will see a high-scoring outcome and Manchester City to win
