Burnley vs Brighton Match Preview And Prediction
Burnley vs Brighton: Brighton has only triumphed in four of its sixteen road games this season. Just three goals have been scored by the Seagulls in their last eight games in all competitions. In neither of Burnley’s previous two league games, three goals or more were scored.
Regretfully, Burnley ended their four-game winning streak at the most inconvenient location for all Claret supporters. In one of the most significant matches of the season, they were defeated 0-1 by Everton last weekend. With only six games remaining, Vincent Kompany’s team now have a mountain to climb in order to close the six-point gap to the safe zone.
As they prepare to play Brighton in Matchday No. 33 this coming weekend, Burnley is now in a must-win situation. Seven days ago at Goodison, Clarets did not look good. They had not a single shot on goal in the ninety minutes of play, demonstrating their lack of bite in the closing third.
Brighton won’t enter this with much optimism either. They lost to Arsenal 0-3 at home on Saturday, which was quite tough. From the first whistle to the last whistle at The Amex, it was all one way traffic. In the league standings, the Seagulls dropped to 10th position. They now require a miracle to get a spot in the competition that leads to Europe the following season.
Burnley vs Brighton: Betting Analysis
In the rematch in December of last year at The Amex, Burnley held Brighton to a 1-1 draw. It’s interesting to note that none of the previous eight meetings between these rivals resulted in a victory at home. In the last four head-to-head matches, both teams have scored in all except one.
Prior to their meeting at Turf Moor on Saturday, neither team has shown much promise. However, Burnley will be far more driven to succeed in front of the home crowd. Considering the distance between them and teams like Nottingham Forest in the safe zone, this is most likely the last train they will be able to board.
The good news for Clarets is that Brighton has been playing poorly lately. After three league games, Roberto De Zerbi’s team managed just one point.
From the start of the season, the Seagulls have also had trouble performing when traveling. This Premier League season, they have only triumphed in 4 of their 16 road games. With the foregoing information in mind, we believe there is value in taking Burnley at 1.80 odds in the win or draw double chance bet.
Brighton has recently struggled to score goals. Over the last eight games across all competitions, they have only scored three goals. Burnley failed to put more than one effort on goal during their loss at Goodison last weekend.
