Manchester City - Brighton & Hove Albion betting tips and odds

A quick look at the odds reveals just how imbalanced this matchup is. Manchester City are almost certain to walk away with 3 more points towards the Premier League table, and Brighton & Hove Albion fans should probably temper their expectations.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and The Seagulls will be left with slim pickings in this match.

The Seagulls’s latest Premier League outing is proof that even the hardest of favourites do not always win. At odds of 1.53, their opponents Tottenham Hotspur seemed unbeatable – but an undecided first half led to a narrow 0:1 win for The Seagulls that no one saw coming.

The hosts are here after a series of home games marked by a high concession rate. For instance, they yielded more than 5 goals over the previous 3 matches at Etihad Stadium.

City are on their way to a Premier League title if they keep up the pace, which they should be able to do against The Seagulls. That said, the leading spots on the table are highly contested, and there’s time for things to go south.

It will be interesting to see if Albion manage to beat this odds in this, the second clash with The Sky Blues this season. The first time around they lost with to a 1-point difference.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet combines the best of both worlds: it’s a fairly safe bet with a high probability of success, but it also offers decent betting value. You can place it on the William Hill priced at 2.50 odds.
