Manchester City vs Brighton Prediction & Betting tips
Manchester City is something like the team of the hour in England and has had numerous positive results in the past few weeks. The Skyblues are at a good level, especially the much scolded defense has recently been very attentive and stable. That can be the key to greater success.
Before the game Manchester City vs. Brighton, the odds of the best bookmakers show that the Skyblues are the clear favorites in the game against Brighton. The Seagulls are struggling with a difficult season and are individually clearly inferior. Of course, nothing has been decided in advance.
The game of the 18th matchday in the Premier League could ensure that Manchester City significantly improve their own position in the title fight. Kick-off at the Etihad Stadium is on Wednesday evening at 18:00 p.m.
Manchester City :
In the Champions League, Manchester City is on target, in the EFL Cup you are in the final. At the weekend, the team of coach Pep Guardiola solved the compulsory task in the FA Cup confidently, also in the championship things are looking better and better after three wins in a row. A brief interim low seems to have been forgotten, the Citizens are on the rise.
This is also evident with the bookmakers. Because before the game Manchester City vs. Brighton, the betting odds show a clear favorite position for the host.
A look at the Premier League table shows that Manchester City has already moved up to fifth. And that, although you still have one or the other catch-up game up your sleeve. The last few weeks have been very successful, the defense is becoming more and more stable and de Bruyne, Torres and Co. are swirling very well in the offensive area.
Due to the Citizens’ form curve, our tip before the game Manchester City vs. Brighton is that there will be more than 2.5 goals in this game.
The stabilization of the defensive can also be proven statistically. In their last 13 league games, Manchester City have conceded just seven goals. That is the main reason for the upswing and the now greater chance of winning the Premier League title.
Eric Garcia is still sore, Sergio Agüero is in isolation. Otherwise, coach Guardiola can draw on the full potential and is spoiled for choice.
Brighton :
The Seagulls are currently in completely different table regions than Manchester City. With 14 points from 17 games played so far, Brighton is only in 17th place, just above the relegation zone. And as already mentioned, guest appearances at Manchester City are usually no fun for the club. Brighton needs points – and urgently.
Coach Potter’s team actually plays very well. The structure is flat and orderly, the switching movement is often dangerous. But it is individual errors and inaccuracies in the last third that make life so difficult for the Seagulls.
With the guests you hope for a positive result at Manchester City, but you have to go beyond yourself and hope that the hosts will offer something. In the FA Cup at Newport, the Seagulls got away with a black eye, the current form is not great.
Eight league games in a row could not be won, so the four draws in the last five games are of little help. The situation is anything but good, the defensive wobbles again and again. Before the Manchester City v Brighton game, our forecast is that there will be more than 2.5 goals.
It is positive that there are no failures to complain about. In addition, some players in the FA Cup were spared. At least there is some reason to be hopeful.
