Brighton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (25 April)

Less to its advantage compared to the previous year, Brighton is currently 10th in the Premier League and should not be able to win a European folding seat. The Seagulls seem to have given up their arms a few weeks ago. Indeed, they have only won one of their last 7 championship matches, for 3 draws and 3 defeats. Severely beaten at home by title candidate Arsenal 0-3, Brighton confirmed their current shortcomings on the last day by conceding the share of points at relegated Burnley 1-1. Note that Roberto De Zerbi's men did not play last weekend. Triple reigning English champions, Manchester City have their destiny in their hands to achieve the 4th in a row this season.

Indeed, the Cityzens now occupy 3rd place in the Premier League with one game less and one point behind the top two Arsenal and Liverpool. Confident of their strengths, they have not conceded any setbacks in the last 17 days, 13 victories and 4 draws. Manchester City have won their last 3 league matches played against Aston Villa 4-1, Crystal Palace 2-4 and Luton Town 5-1. Last weekend, the Skyblues had to work hard to overcome Chelsea and thus qualify for the FA Cup final 1-0. This follows a cruel elimination against Real Madrid in the quarterfinals of the Champions League.

Several elements are still missing for Brighton. These are the influential wingers Mitoma (3 goals and 4 assists in PL) and March (3 goals in 7 PL games), the potential starters Tariq Lamptey and Enciso, the important midfielder Gilmour, the promising Hinshelwood and Ferguson ( 6 goals in PL) and the usual substitutes Webster and Milner, all on the flank. The workforce is thus very weakened this week.

In the offensive area, Adingra (6 goals in PL) and Welbeck (4 goals in PL) could take their place.
