Burnley vs Brighton Prediction & Match Preview

Burnley vs Brighton Match Preview

• Brighton have won only 4 of 16 away games so far in the season.
• The Seagulls scored just three goals in the last eight outings across competitions.
• Neither of Burnley’s last two league affairs provided three or more goals.

Unfortunately for all Claret fans, Burnley terminated their four-game unbeaten streak at the most unwanted place. They fell 0-1 to Everton last weekend in one of the most important games of the season. Vincent Kompany’s men now have a mountain to climb up annul a six-point gap between them and the safe zone with just six games left to play.

Burnley are now in a must-win situation ahead of this weekend’s clash with Brighton in Matchday No 33. Clarets did not look great seven days ago at Goodison. They were toothless in the final third, registering just a single shot on target in the 90 minutes of action.

Brighton will not come into this in high spirits either. They suffered a tough 0-3 home loss to Arsenal last Saturday. It was a one-way street from the first to the final whistle at The Amex. The Seagulls fell to 10th place in the league standings. They now need a miracle to catch one of the places that lead to European competitions next season.

Latest Meetings

• Burnley held Brighton to a 1-1 stalemate in the return match in December last year at The Amex.
• Interestingly, none of the previous eight head-to-head clashes between these rivals ended in a home win.
• Both teams scored in all but one of the last four H2H meetings.

Burnley vs Brighton Prediction

Neither team have been impressive going into Saturday’s clash at Turf Moor. Burnley will be much more motivated to get a result in front of the home fans, though. This is certainly their last train to catch given the gap between them and the likes of Nottingham Forest in the safe zone.

The good news for Clarets is Brighton’s poor form in recent weeks. Roberto De Zerbi’s men claimed just one point from the previous three league games.

The Seagulls have also been struggling to perform on travels since the beginning of the season. They won just 4 of 16 away outings in this term of the Premier League. Based on everything written above, we see the value in backing Burnley to win or draw double chance bet at the 1.80 odds.

Brighton found goals hard to come by of late. They notched only three goals in the last eight matches in all competitions. Burnley registered no more than one attempt on target in the last weekend’s defeat at Goodison. Neither of their last two league games produced three or more goals. We see big value in backing the Under 2.5 goals pick at the 2.30 odds.
