The race for the Premier League title continues in midweek, as Manchester City bid to move back to the summit. The reigning champions are heavy favourites to successfully defend their honour, and they will be preferred in the betting this week to land a fourth straight victory in the Premier League.
Premier League Preview
The fascinating race for the Premier League title continues on Thursday, as Man City bid to move back to the summit. They come into this fixture after winning each of their last three in the league, while confidence will be high after securing a spot in the FA Cup final last weekend following a dramatic late winner against Chelsea at Wembley.
Brighton will be at home this week, but the Seagulls are faltering toward the end of the season after going four without a victory. They could kick off this week in the bottom half of the standings, which would be a huge negative impact on their hopes of finishing in a European spot for the second successive campaign.
City’s record in midweek matches in the league deserves huge respect, as they have won 17 of their last 19 across the last three seasons. However, one of the matches in which they failed to land maximum points did come away from home against Brighton in May 2023.
Brighton’s midweek record in 2024 is extremely concerning, as they have failed to score in all three midweek matches this calendar year. Their most recent outing in the league in midweek ended in a stunning 4-0 loss at Luton. Their four-game winless run has also included two defeats, which remains a concern ahead of this showdown.
Brighton vs Man City Head to Head
Brighton have suffered defeats in eleven of their 13 Premier League matches against Man City. But, the four points that they have picked up against the champions have come across their last three home matches. City have scored at least once in all 13 of their Premier League showdowns against the Seagulls.
Brighton vs Man City Prediction
Man City’s record in this fixture is incredibly dominant, and therefore, it makes them challenging to bet against this week. Brighton have struggled for victories in recent weeks, meaning that we fully expect City to claim maximum points on the road this week.
