Brighton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (9 November)

Under the orders of young German technician Fabian Hurzeler this season, Brighton has shown an interesting face so far. Indeed, the Seagulls are in 8th place in the Premier League with only 2 points behind the Big 4. After losing to Chelsea at the end of September 4-2, they reacted by dominating Tottenham 3-2 and Newcastle 0-1 before being held to a draw at home by bottom side Wolverhampton 2-2. Last weekend, Brighton shook the leader Liverpool at Anfield but finally lost following 2 goals conceded in the second act 2-1. Four-time reigning English champion, Manchester City is logically considered the big favorite to his own succession this season.

The Skyblues are currently 2nd in the Premier League and are 2 points behind 1st place. Undefeated during the first 9 days, 7 wins and 2 draws, they suffered their first setback last weekend with a setback suffered at Bournemouth 2-1. This follows a 2-1 elimination from the League Cup at Tottenham. This week, Manchester City confirmed its current shortcomings by losing quite clearly to Sporting in the Champions League 4-1.

The Brighton coach still deplores the withdrawals of the experienced Webster and Milner as well as the long-term absentee March. In addition, frame defender Dunk, important attackers Joao Pedro and Minteh and midfielder O'Riley are all listed as doubtful. The offensive duo could once again be composed of the rookie Rutter (2 goals and 2 assists in PL) and the stainless Welbeck (6 goals and 2 assists in PL). Japanese international Mitoma (1 goal and 2 assists in PL) is less visible this season. Manchester City must still do without Ballon d'Or Rodri as well as wingers Grealish and Bobb.

They were joined in the infirmary by important defenders Ruben Dias and Stones. Phil Foden (3 goals in C1) is effective in the Champions League and found the net against Sporting this week. On the other hand, he is still waiting to score his first Premier League goal. Erling Haaland is the top scorer in the championship with 11 goals.
