Sunderland will be looking to continue their superb Premier League campaign when they travel to the south Coast on Saturday to take on mid-table Brighton.
The Black Cats are on a massive high after last Sunday's sensational 1-0 victory over bitter rivals Newcastle in the Tyne-Wear Derby. That result was the seventh win of the season for Régis Le Bris's men, as they continue to defy the experts who predicted they would make a swift return to the Championship.
It's been a mixed bag of a season so far for Brighton. Memorable victories over the likes of Manchester City, Chelsea and Newcastle have been offset by several underwhelming performances in recent weeks, including a drab display in the 1-1 draw against lowly West Ham in their last home game. Unless Fabian Hürzeler can find some consistency, it is hard to see them competing for European places.

Our Brighton vs Sunderland Prediction
Despite their superb results so far this season, the bookies are still pricing Sunderland extremely highly in pretty much all their games. That means Brighton are huge favorites on Saturday, despite their below par recent performances.
The Black Cats will be without a few key players due to the AFCOM tournament starting next week, but we still think they will have enough quality to make this a tight game.
Brighton rarely keep clean sheets at home, and Sunderland rarely keep clean sheets on the road. With that in mind, our prediction for Brighton and Hove Albion vs Sunderland is: Draw and both teams to score.
