Burnley vs Brighton Prediction & Betting tips
The English Premier League is going very quickly. Before the games in the fifth main round of the FA Cup are played next week, the 23rd matchday in the English Premier League is on the program from Saturday to Monday. In the duel between Burnley and Brighton, the winner can take a big step towards midfield.
The three bottom lights in the Premier League are already a bit beaten and Burnley is currently in the table 17. eight points ahead of the first relegation zone. The form-strong Potter elf from Brighton has only two points more on the credit side. With the third win in a row, the Seagulls would finally move away from the relegation battle.
Burnley :
Sean Dyche has been responsible for sporting success for the Clarets from Burnley for more than eight years and has established the underdog in the midfield of the league in recent years. The current 17th place in the table is the weakest result in recent years and yet the long-term coach is not (yet) criticized. The lead on the first relegation place is still comfortable and accordingly you can work in peace.
The way Burnley FC has played this season is anything but thrilling. In games with the participation of the Clarets, the fewest goals of all 20 PL teams were scored. In total, there were only 41 hits in 22 games, which means on average not even two hits per league game. In this respect, only six of the 21 games ended with an over 2.5.
In particular, the own offensive causes headaches in the Burnley camp. With only 13 goals scored, the Dyche-Elf has the weakest offensive in the entire league. No goal could be achieved in twelve league games, which also means a negative record in this year’s season.
In addition, only three shots on goal were made in the last two league games against Chelsea and Manchester City, but none of them hit the opponent’s housing. With all these numbers between Burnley and Brighton, a forecast of under 2.5 or the tip that both teams don’t score is an obvious option.
With only 13 goals this season in 21 games, six wins this season are almost a bit of a surprise. The defense is very solid: if the 5-0 at Manchester City or the 4-2 at Leicester City are factored out, there was only one goal per game on average in the remaining 19 games.
Burnley was able to collect 13 of the 22 points collected in the season so far in their own stadium. Burnley took four of the six victories of the season on Turf Moor. In the last league game, however, the Dyche-Elf had to admit defeat to the big championship favorites Manchester City 2-0.
Brighton :
The 2020/21 season already delivered countless surprises in English football, which is also confirmed by a look at the current Premier League table. The top teams lack consistency and so there are some surprise teams in the extended top field.
A few days ago the fans of Brighton & Hove Albion preferred to change their coach, as the team could not meet expectations and was not on a relegation place only thanks to the weak competition. The subject of relegation battle now only plays a subordinate role. In the last few days, the Seagulls have performed outstandingly and were able to collect ten out of twelve possible points from the last four league games.
That was not enough, because goalkeeper Roberto Sanchez – who was only promoted by the U23 during the season – kept his box clean in the last four games. For the first time in the Premier League history of Brighton this feat was achieved. It was against absolute top teams, in the last few days Brighton defeated both Tottenham and Liverpool 1-0. The win against the champions was the Seagulls’ first victory against Liverpool in a whopping 38 years!
The success at Anfield was definitely a sensation, but it confirmed a development that had been emerging for months. The Seagulls have won five games this season, four of which were outside of their own AMEX Stadium.
The strongly increasing form, the four games without conceding a goal and the more than passable away record are definitely arguments that speak for the tip on the guests on Saturday at Burnley against Brighton. Graham Potter will have to do without Solly March, Tariq Lamptey and Danny Welbeck.
