LiontipsBrighton vs Manchester City. Prediction (odds 2.10) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Brighton are approaching the start of the 11th round in eighth place in the league table, having scored 16 points. The result is generally not bad, but they have not yet managed to enter the European Cup zone. The Seagulls have not demonstrated stable play lately. After two victories in a row, there was an unnecessary 2:2 home draw with Wolverhampton and a 1:2 away defeat to Liverpool. In addition, there was also an exit in the League Cup, also after a defeat to Liverpool (2:3).
The Seagulls' defence has been failing too often. Over the last five rounds, they have only kept a clean sheet against Newcastle, which they managed to beat with a minimal score of 1:0. In all other matches, Fabian Hürzeler charges have conceded at least two goals. In general, https://www.brightonandhovealbion.com/pages/en/home target=_blank rel=noopener>Brighton is in the top ten in the Premier League in terms of the number of goals conceded.
It is impossible not to notice that the Seagulls have not lost at home since the start of the Premier League season – two wins and three draws. At the same time, even at home, the defense raises many questions – only in one match did they manage to play to zero.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milner and Webster are out with injury today, with O'Reilly, Dunk, Minte, March and Baleb all questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brighton have not lost in the first half in their last four matches
- The Seagulls have not lost in six of their previous eight matches in the championship
- Both teams to score have played in five of Brighton last six league games
- Brighton last three games have seen at least three goals scored
Probable line-up : Verbruggen - Veltman, van Hecke, Julio, Estupinan - Kadioglou, Hinshelwood, Ayari, Mitoma - Welbeck, Rutter.
Current form
Manchester City are approaching the upcoming game on a three-game losing streak. This hasn't happened to the team since 2018. The failures began in the League Cup, where they lost to Tottenham (1:2). That match didn't involve the best lineup. However, they failed to score points in the championship against Bournemouth (1:2), and in the Champions League they suffered a crushing 1:4 defeat to Sporting. All of the team failures have happened away from home, and today they will also have to play away.
It is difficult to pinpoint the exact reason for the failures. It is very likely that the busy schedule and rather serious problems with the squad are having an effect. De Bruyne himself is still not playing, although he should have potentially recovered by now. We also remember the loss of Rodri.
After the defeat to Bournemouth, Josep Guardiola team lost the top spot in the table. The gap to Liverpool is two points. At the same time, third-placed Nottingham Forest is four points behind. It should be noted that away from home, Manchester City does not look very convincing in attack - only nine goals scored in five games.
Disqualifications and injuries
Rodri, Grealish, Stones, Dias and Bobb will not play today due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester City have not won in the first half in their last three matches
- In the three previous matches involving the Citizens, there was an exchange of goals scored
- At least three goals have been scored in seven of Manchester City last nine Premier League games
Probable line-up : Ederson - Walker, Akanji, Ake, Guardiol - Kovacic - Foden, Silva, Gundogan, Luis - Haaland.

2.17Tip and bets
Manchester City have a three-game losing streak, a tough schedule, and the losses in the squad have not disappeared. Against this backdrop, it is hard to expect that they will be able to overcome the slump right away, especially on the field of an unyielding opponent. Brighton have not lost at home in the Premier League this season, there are some problems in defense, but the attack is working great. We do not think that the visitors will be able to win today in their current less than optimal form. Taking into account the bookmakers' odds, we recommend a forecast for the hosts not to lose.
Our prediction is Brighton will not lose at odds of 2.10
Bet on total
Taking into account all the tournaments since the start of the season, Brighton failed to open the opponent defense only once at home, when they played 0:0 with Ipswich. Manchester City, even now, when the game is not going well, scores goals on a regular basis. We think there is a high probability of an exchange of goals in the upcoming meeting.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.58
Yellow Card Betting
Let pay attention to the fact that Brighton players have not received more than two yellow cards in six of their previous seven head-to-head meetings in the Premier League on their home field. Based on this trend, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction - Brighton total yellow cards under 2.5 with odds of 1.70
