Liverpool - Brighton prediction, H2H and probable lineups - December 13, 2025
One of the fixtures of the 16th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday at Anfield in Liverpool, where the home side will host Brighton. Let's analyze the potential outcome of this matchup, taking into account the current form of both teams.
Match preview
Liverpool continue to struggle for consistency in the league, and a 3-3 draw with Leeds has only raised more questions about their defense. Over the last five rounds, the Reds have managed just one win, and they've conceded more goals than any of their top-table rivals. However, at home, Liverpool traditionally perform well, rarely lose, and often earn points thanks to their resilience.
But even Anfield can't guarantee a solid display. In their last six home matches, Liverpool have not scored more than two goals in any game, while opponents almost always find opportunities in front of their goal. After a tough Champions League clash against Inter (1-0), the team might not be at their physical best for this game, which adds more risk to backing the favorites.
Brighton are enjoying a stable run, losing just once in their last six league outings, showing strong performances both at home and away. The Seagulls cope well under pressure and consistently find the net — even against a tough schedule. Away from home, they've picked up points in four of their last five games, underlining their competitiveness.
It’s also worth noting that Brighton rarely allow opponents to create many chances — over the past six rounds, they've conceded more than one goal only once. With such organization and balance, playing at Anfield shouldn't be an exception, especially given Liverpool's defensive issues.
Probable lineups
- Liverpool: Alisson, Bradley, Konaté, Van Dijk, Kerkez, Jones, Gravenberch, Szoboszlai, Wirtz, Gakpo, Ekitike
- Brighton: Verbruggen, Dunk, Kadioglu, Van Hecke, De Kuyper, Wieffer, Gómez, Baleba, Welbeck, Minteh, Rutter
Match facts and head-to-head
- Liverpool have conceded in 9 of their last 11 Premier League matches.
- Brighton have scored in 5 of their last 6 away games.
- Liverpool have beaten Brighton by more than one goal in just one of their last eight home Premier League meetings.
Prediction
Liverpool's form is far from ideal, and even with the Anfield support, the team remains too inconsistent, especially defensively. Brighton, on the other hand, look solid, effective in both attack and defense, and are capable of securing a respectable result. Our recommended bet for this match: Brighton with a +1.5 handicap at 1.50 odds.
