Liverpool vs Brighton prediction and betting tips on March 31, 2024
One of the fixtures of the 30th round of the English Premier League will take place on Sunday at Anfield, where the local Liverpool will host Brighton. Here's a prediction for this match from Dailysports experts.
Liverpool
"The Reds" continue to be involved in the title race and currently occupy the second spot in the league table. Jurgen Klopp's team is trailing only London's Arsenal due to additional indicators, while Manchester City lags behind by just one point. Last weekend, the Merseysiders lost to Manchester United in overtime in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup (3:4), depriving themselves of the opportunity to win another trophy this season. Prior to that, Liverpool defeated Prague's Sparta emphatically at home in the round of 16 of the Europa League, with a scoreline of 6:1.
Brighton
Roberto De Zerbi's team had a promising start in the current Premier League campaign, but the demands of European competitions drained much of the energy from a team not accustomed to such exertions. As a result, the "Seagulls" failed to manage their resources effectively and faltered in the league. Currently, Brighton occupies the eighth position in the league table. After 28 rounds, they have accumulated 42 points, which is 11 points behind fifth-placed Tottenham. Brighton's last match was against Italian side Roma in the Europa League. The "Seagulls" won the home leg with a score of 1:0, but prior to that, they suffered a heavy defeat in Rome, losing 0:4. Now Brighton can fully focus on the league.
