Brighton vs Leicester prediction, H2H and probable lineups - April 12, 2025
One of the matches of the 32nd round of the English Championship will be played on Saturday at the Amex Stadium, where the local Brighton will host Leicester. I suggest betting on the outcome of this clash with good chances of winning.
Match Preview
Fabian Hurzeler's team is experiencing a slump in the Premier League and has failed to win in three consecutive rounds. After a hard-fought draw with Manchester City (2-2), which then seemed like a positive result, two consecutive painful defeats followed: first, Brighton was thrashed at home by Aston Villa — 0-3, and then lost away to Crystal Palace — 1-2.
Before the encounter with Aston Villa, which ended their positive streak, the Seagulls had a confident three-match winning run in the Premier League. And these were not walkover opponents — the Seagulls triumphed over teams from the upper part of the standings. Currently, the team has slid to the ninth position in the table, yet the intrigue in the fight for European competitions remains — the gap from the fourth place and the Champions League zone is only six points.
Ruud van Nistelrooy's team continues its rapid descent into the abyss — in the last round, Leicester was thrashed at home by Newcastle with a score of 0-3, marking their eighth consecutive defeat in the Premier League. Moreover, all these failures came with a 'dry' outcome — the attacking line is completely disarmed. This catastrophic series has brought the Foxes a whole bunch of anti-records.
The club became only the second team in the history of England's top division to fail to score in eight consecutive home matches. Furthermore, Leicester became the first in league history to lose eight consecutive home matches with zeros on the scoreboard. In the standings, it's bleak: the Foxes are settled in the penultimate place, 15 points away from the safe 17th position.
Probable Lineups
- Brighton: Bart Verbruggen, Jack Hinshelwood, Jan Paul van Hecke, Lewis Dunk, Pervis Estupinan, Diego Gomez, Carlos Baleba, Matt O'Riley, Yasin Minteh, Kaoru Mitoma, Danny Welbeck
