Brighton vs Bournemouth

Brighton welcome Bournemouth to the Amex Stadium for a Monday night English Premier League fixture, with both teams looking to climb into the top half.

The hosts are showing some good form at the moment and are also solid at home. They should get the better of the Cherries, who are struggling to find their best form at the moment.

Brighton News

Brighton are just one point behind 10th-placed Sunderland and will be keen to make a push for the top half. Fabian Hurzeler's team are unbeaten in their last four matches and played out a 1-1 draw with Manchester City last time out in the Premier League before a 2-0 FA Cup victory at Manchester United.

Having been on the road in their last two matches, Brighton are back at the Amex Stadium, where they often do their best work. The Seagulls are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 home matches across all competitions.

Goals are generally not a problem for Brighton, who have scored in nine of their last 10 home matches, with six of those fixtures producing over 2.5 goals. However, they are without a clean sheet in seven of their last nine matches across all competitions.

Bournemouth News

Bournemouth have struggled to hit last season’s heights as they currently sit 15th in the table. They did claim a 3-2 victory over Tottenham in their previous Premier League fixture, although that has been their only win in the last 10 matches across all competitions.

The Cherries head into this clash after being eliminated from the FA Cup on penalties following a 2-2 draw at Newcastle United. That result is part of an abysmal away record for Andoni Iraola's team, who are winless in their last nine matches across all competitions on the road.

Poor defending is at the heart of Bournemouth’s struggles, having failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 matches across all competitions. However, they have scored in eight of those fixtures, while the last five matches on this run have produced over 2.5 goals.

Head to Head

Brighton have claimed seven wins while Bournemouth have been victorious five times in the last 12 matches. The visitors earned a 2-1 home victory in the reverse fixture in September, while the hosts have won the last four meetings at the Amex Stadium.

Verdict

Brighton v Bournemouth

It is often an open contest between Brighton and Bournemouth, with the last five meetings producing over 2.5 goals. With both teams also scoring in four of those fixtures, a similar outcome could be on the cards here.

Both teams are showing contrasting form coming into this clash, with Bournemouth winless in their last nine away matches while Brighton are unbeaten in nine of their last 10 home fixtures. Having also won the last four meetings at the Amex Stadium, the Seagulls are expected to claim the upper hand in this one.
