Liverpool - Brighton & Hove Albion predictions

Liverpool are seen as favourites to win this match against Brighton & Hove Albion. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Liverpool and the 7.50 odds given to Albion to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

An away win from the last Premier League round would have been a proper surprise for Liverpool supporters. Despite the unfavourable betting odds (3.26) Liverpool were leading the way by the halftime mark. However, they let a potentially big win split through their fingers having to settle for a Arsenal draw.

Sportsbooks predicted things to go well for The Seagulls in the previous round – they had a solid lead in a home game against Wolverhampton Wanderers. The second half caught them off guard, however, and they had to settle for a 2:2 draw in a home game.

Brighton’s home stadium have seen a lot of conceded goals recently – 6 in the last 3 games, to be exact. Considering they don’t have home-field advantage this time, most online sportsbooks are giving rather short odds on Over markets.

Liverpool are off to a strong start in the opening stages of the Premier League season. They currently hold the Champions League place in the standings, and the favourable matchup against Brighton implies they’ll keep it.

Brighton ended up at number 6th on the Premier League table after the first 10 rounds of the season. They’ll need at another 1 point to catch up to a Europa League qualifying spot. There’s plenty of time left to do so, but this match represents a major obstacle.

Looking over the head-to-head statistics for this Premier League season, the hosts already recorded a victory over The Seagulls. This puts them ahead of their opponents, which is reflected in the betting odds.

Based on both teams’ previous performances, an Over 2.5 Goals bet is very likely to win. The returns are somewhat limited at the odds of 1.40, but it’s still an incredibly safe bet.
