Manchester City vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Daniel Ngulu | in Premier League Prediction
Manchester City have overcome their early slump and have managed to string together a run of wins and will be gunning for the same in their Premier League match at home to Brighton. These two sides are on opposite sides of the Premier League standings, City at fifth with 29 points and Brighton 17th with 14 points. City go to this game after a 3-0 win over Birmingham City in the FA Cup third round, which was their sixth straight win and 13th unbeaten outing. They last lost in November 2020, and head to this clash with two games in hand, and having secured a place in the League Cup final. With a win here, City will rise to third place and having two games in hand, with great form, places them well as title contenders. It has all been going well for City in defence and attack; they have 10 clean sheets in the last 13 matches and they have scored two or more goals in their last five matches. The team has conceded two goals, kept three clean sheets and scored 14 goals in the last five games and have a good diversity in goal scorers, a mark of a well drilled team. In the Premier League, City are unbeaten in the last seven matches, keeping five clean sheets and scoring 14 goals. At home, they have no loss in the last six league matches, winning four, and they have the best defence in the league, having let in 13 goals so far.
Brighton on the other hand, labored to a win over League Two side Newport County in their FA Cup fixture. The Premier League side needed a win on post match penalties after a 1-1 draw with the minnows after extra time. Brighton scored in stoppage time and an own goal right after threw the game into extra time and the pre-match favorites could only avoid a shock through post match penalties. Their form hasn’t been the best; they head here without an outright win in nine matches and risk dropping to the relegation zone with a loss, though a win could see them rise to 16th. In the last five matches, Brighton have no clean sheet, while they have just one in the last 10. They have conceded two or more goals in half of their last eight matches and scored two or more in just four of their last 15 games. Their scoring run has been pretty consistent – netting in 12 of their last 15 matches. Going to this game, they have no win in their last eight league matches, while they have one in the last 15 and two all season. In their last nine league matches, Brighton have managed just one clean sheet and away from home, they are winless in the last three. Head to head with City, Brighton have seven straight losses. They have scored one goal against City in the last five meetings, but conceded 16 goals.

Our Manchester City vs Brighton Prediction
Brighton are not the best defensive side in the league and neither do they score lots of goals. They will be facing Manchester City on the back of a tough and tiring FA Cup game against Newport County, and their league form has not been good. For City, it has been a roll in recent matches; they have found their footing and seem unstoppable at the moment. They are good in defence and attack and we feel a combination of this two spells danger for Brighton in their quest to rise away from the drop zone. We expect a very comfortable home game for City and a bet for them to lead in both halves looks good.
