Brighton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (17 March)

To say that Brighton come into this contest in poor form would be somewhat of an understatement, with the Premier League strugglers suffering 11 defeats in their previous 15 top-flight matches. Although Manchester City have not been firing on all cylinders this season, the fact remains that the Manchester City have enjoyed eight wins in their last 11 fixtures at this level.

When Manchester City come calling in the Premier League, over 2.5 goals tends to be the order of the day, with this being the case in 17 of the Manchester City outfit’s previous 20 away games. Not only that, but 19 of the last 20 Brighton home matches at the top table of Spanish football have also delivered a minimum of two successful strikes, so this pattern should continue.

Brighton have proven incredibly consistent when it comes to both scoring and conceding during the same 90 minutes recently, doing so in ten of their previous 12 home games in the league. This has also been the case in five of the last six Manchester City matches at this level, whilst both teams come into this contest having gone seven second-tier encounters without a shutout.
