Brighton
Manchester City
L'un des matchs de la 11e journée de la Premier League anglaise se déroulera samedi au stade de l'Amex, où Brighton recevra Manchester City. Je vous propose une cote intéressante pour parier sur le résultat de cette rencontre.
Match Preview
Brighton continues to show inconsistent results, riding a wave of alternating successes. Unlike Manchester City, which is enjoying a relatively stable season, Brighton tends to fluctuate between draws and wins. However, in recent matches under the management of Hürzeler, Brighton has experienced two consecutive losses — 2-3 to Liverpool in the League Cup and 1-2 in the Premier League.
Despite these setbacks, Brighton’s position in the Premier League remains largely unchanged. While City continues to sit comfortably in the top two with 23 points and just one recent loss, Brighton has slipped slightly down the table to 8th place, although the gap to their nearest rivals is still small.
Manchester City, however, has gone through a rough patch, losing three consecutive matches. Notably, these defeats came in different competitions — the most concerning being a 1-2 loss to Tottenham in the League Cup, followed by defeats in the Premier League to Bournemouth (1-2) and a 1-4 loss in the Champions League to Sporting.
The defeat to Sporting was particularly alarming, as Pep Guardiola fielded a strong lineup, while the other matches appeared less competitive. Still, prior to this slump, City had been playing at a high level, and given how Guardiola’s side tends to gather momentum later in the season, there is no immediate cause for panic.
Probable Line-ups
- Brighton: Verbruggen; Julio, Van Hecke, Estupiñán, Veltman; Baleba, Mitoma, Cadioglu, Ayari; Welbeck, Rutter.
- Manchester City: Ederson; Akanji, Dias, Gvardiol, Lewis; Kovacic, Nunes, Savio, Bernardo Silva; Foden, Haaland.
Match Facts
- Manchester City has won 4 out of the last 5 encounters with Brighton, remaining unbeaten in those matches.
- Only one match out of the last five featured a bet on "Total under 2.5".
- In three of the last five matches, a bet on "Both teams to score" was successful.
Prediction
Brighton is capable of taking points from City at home, but this time it seems unlikely. Given how often City has suffered losses recently, they should be eager to bounce back in the league and avoid another slip-up. Our bet is on Manchester City to win with a coefficient of 1.79.
