EPL: Brighton Vs Manchester City Predictions and Betting Tips 25/04/2024

Champions Manchester City visit the American Express Stadium on Thursday night to reclaim the top spot in the Premier League.

The Citizens defeated the Seagulls 2-1 at the Etihad Stadium at the end of October last year, the last time the two teams played. City will be looking to cement their place fully at the top of the premier league as they look to seal a fourth consecutive premier league title.

Head-to-head and Previous Matches

Ahead of this, Manchester City have recorded four victories and one draw in their previous five meetings with the Seagulls.

During this season's meeting, the Citizens defeated Etihad Stadium by a score of 2-1 in October of last year.

Five of the preceding six head-to-head encounters resulted in the scoring of three goals or more.

Our Predictions

Manchester City to win 

Even though Brighton have had more than a week to recuperate and prepare for Thursday's crucial match to improve their European hopes, their depleted squad will still face a difficult task in containing title-chasing Manchester City, who cannot afford to lose points at this juncture of the season.

With at least three goals scored in eight of the previous ten Premier League meetings between these two clubs, an upset Seagulls squad will be difficult. However, City holds the superior head-to-head record and will be considered heavy favorites despite Haaland's uncertain fitness status.

Under 3.5 goals

Brighton supporters will enter this contest lacking confidence after losing all three matches, but the Seagulls are rarely embarrassed and should maintain a close contest.

This season, they have failed to score twice at home in the Premier League and have suffered only one loss in their last thirteen home games.

It may be close, but City should prevail; therefore, placing a wager on City to win with under 3.5 goals is the best course of action.

Kevin De Bruyne to score anytime

Consider Kevin De Bruyne, who contributed to three goals in City's previous five matches, an attractive candidate in the anytime goalscorer market.
