It’s six against fourth at the AMEX Stadium, with Brighton & Hove Albion looking to return to winning ways in the Premier League. The Seagulls have won five of their seven top-flight encounters and they have claimed the scalps of Manchester United and Newcastle United this season, with Albion journeying back from Marseille on Thursday night.
Some might think that Brighton are too big a price to claim three points in front of their own supporters, with Roberto de Zerbi’s side capable of scoring a lot of goals. Evan Ferguson was able to pilfer a hat-trick against the Magpies earlier in the campaign, with Kaoru Mitoma having recently scored twice against Bournemouth recently.
However, it’s Liverpool who might have fire in their bellies after performing well at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with eleven, ten and then nine men. Before losing to Spurs, it had been a consecutive run of five wins and that included a comeback victory at Newcastle, with Mohamed Salah, Luis Diaz and Darwin Nunez making a dangerous front three.
It’s easy to see this being a high-scoring clash and it could be worth considering a bet on Over 3.5 Goals, with BTTS Yes trading at a short price. There’s a case to be made for backing Liverpool to win the game along with both teams scoring, with a 3-2 win for the visitors making appeal along with backing the 2-2 draw.
