Manchester City - Brighton & Hove Albion betting tips and odds

With top online bookmakers pricing a home win at odds of 1.22, it’s hard to expect anything other than a decisive Manchester City victory. It’s a uniquely one-sided match – which rarely translates to a lot of excitement in the pitch.

With a price of 15.50 on an away win among most online sportsbooks, it’s clear Brighton & Hove Albion will likely not fare well against Manchester City. Even a draw seems to be too optimistic for the away team.

The away team didn’t fare all that well the last time out at their home stadium against Nottingham Forest, as both teams went home with a rather lukewarm single point. Whether this round will be any better remains to be seen, but everyone’s hoping for a more charged outing.

City have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

The records show a rather unimpressive away game track record for Albion. They’ve allowed more than 5 times in their latest 3 away outings.

We’re going into round 13 of this year’s competition, and Manchester City are looking quite well off. They’re just 4 points behind the current table leaders and heading into a relatively safe match.

Albion ended up at number 7th on the Premier League table after the first 13 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.

This matchup was very one-sided last season, and most bookies are expecting The Sky Blues to continue their spree of dominance. They won against Brighton more than once, and even managed to record a solid goal difference in each instance.

Though the odds are against the visitors, at least they’ll be in a position to put up as much of a fight as possible. All of their lineup is accounted for in this match, with no issues from suspensions or injuries.

To balance out this match, we suggest taking a -1.5 Asian Handicap on the obvious favourites in this game. This should increase your returns substantially while still keeping things relatively risk-free.
