Burnley vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips (13 April)

The return to the elite is very difficult for Burnley who today occupies 19th place in the ranking with 6 points behind the first non-relegation team. The promoted still has a small hope of retaining but the results do not really encourage optimism. Indeed, the Clarets have only won against Brentford in the last 14 days, for 5 draws and 8 defeats. After holding off Chelsea 2-2 and Wolverhampton 1-1, they had a very bad operation last weekend. Indeed, Burnley lost to a direct competitor for maintenance, Everton 1-0.

Less visible compared to the previous year, Brighton is currently 10th in the Premier League but retains a small chance of winning a European jump seat 6 points from behind in 6th place. To do this, it will be necessary to considerably raise the level of play. Indeed, the Seagulls have only won one of their last 6 championship matches, for 2 draws and 3 defeats. After being held to a draw at Brentford 0-0, they were soundly beaten at home by Arsenal last weekend 0-3.

For Burnley, potentially starting defenders Al-Dakhil and Beyer must still withdraw this weekend. This is also the case for interesting wingers Koleosho, Ramsey and Redmond. Furthermore, sent off against Everton, senior defender O'Shea is suspended. Arriving at the club in January, former Ligue 1 residents Assignon (ex-Rennes) and Estève (ex-Montpellier) quickly established themselves as potential starters. Ivorian striker Datro Fofana (4 goals and 1 assist in 10 PL matches) should start just like French Espoirs international Odobert (3 goals and 2 assists in PL).

Brighton must still do without starting wingers Mitoma (3 goals and 4 assists in PL) and March (3 goals in 7 PL games), the excellent midfielder Gilmour, the promising Hinshelwood and Ferguson (6 goals in PL) and the usual replacements Webster and Milner. Replacing last weekend, Brazilian striker Joao Pedro (8 goals in PL) could start this time. In midfield, takes place the German international Pascal Gross (4 goals and 10 assists in PL).
