Brighton Team News
The home side have climbed back up to ninth in the Premier League standings after winning successive events. A third straight triumph could see them move level on points with sixth-placed Bournemouth on Tuesday.

However, they’re still underperforming in terms of the metric this term after scoring 34 goals from an open play xG of 36.91.
The hosts will still be without a number of first-team players this week, with Lewis Dunk, James Milner, and Ferdi Kadioglu all ruled out until next month. Jason Steele and Igor are also no nearer their returns.
Brighton predicted lineup vs Bournemouth (4-2-3-1): Verbruggen; Hinshelwood, van Hecke, Webster, Lamptey; Baleba, Ayari; Minteh, Rutter, Mitoma; Pedro.
Bournemouth Team News
There’ll be pressure on Andoni Iraola’s men this week. They’ve suffered defeats in two of their previous three matches, which have dropped them to sixth in the standings. However, a win on Tuesday could see the club end the round as high as fourth.
Bournemouth have underperformed in terms of their xG metric throughout the season, scoring just 31 goals from an open-play tally of 41.55. Defensively, they’ve done well, only allowing 22 goals from a metric of 27.27.
Iraola will be without key defender Illia Zabarnyi this week, as he was sent off against Wolves on Saturday. Julian Araujo isn’t expected to return until the weekend, and Adam Smith, Enes Unal, and Marcos Senesi are all ruled out until next month.
Bournemouth predicted lineup vs Brighton (4-2-3-1): Arrizabalaga; Hill, Huijsen, Adams, Kerkez; Cook, Christie; Tavernier, Kluivert, Semenyo; Ouattara.
Bet hereBrighton vs Bournemouth Prediction
- Pick: Brighton to win
- Odds: 2.08 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Brighton 2-0 Bournemouth
Key defensive players being missing for Bournemouth this week is a significant concern.
Iraola will be forced to deploy an unnatural central defender. It could leave them vulnerable against a Brighton side that have bounced back to form in recent weeks after netting seven goals in their last two.
It only furthers the chances of a home victory being a winning Brighton vs Bournemouth prediction. This is because they’ve won each of their previous three home matches against the guests.
Brighton vs Bournemouth Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 4.5 Cards
- Odds: 1.96 (22Bet)
An entertaining clash is likely at the Amex Stadium, but it could see a low tally of cards. Brighton & Hove have averaged just 2.00 cards per 90 in the Premier League this term, and 50% of their encounters have seen under 4.5 cards registered.
Bournemouth have normalised slightly more cards per 90 at 2.54 but have also had under 4.5 in half of their fixtures this season.
