Brighton & Hove Albion hosts Bournemouth in round 20 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, December 28th at Amex Stadium (Brighton)
Albion was out of luck. The club had previously met Tottenham Hotspur (5) away and even became the winner of the first half, but the Spurs turned the tide in their favor - 2:1. Graham Potter's Seagulls are currently in 15th place. The second defeat in a row in the last five matches left the team with 20 points. Nevertheless, one cannot say the actions of Brighton look like an imbalanced performance. The club scores regularly, having failed to do it in only one of the last four meetings. Despite the loss to Tottenham, there are achievements. For example, the Seagulls gained victory over Arsenal (1:2) and a draw with the Wolves (2: 2). A 1:1 draw on Crystal Palace’s pitch (9) completes Brighton’s characterization as a very combative team, but it doesn’t have a squad with a high level of skill.

Bournemouth settled down one line lower in the standings, in 16th place. More recently, the victory over Chelsea (0:1) was a major sensation. This victory broke the streak of Bournemouth’s defeats, which had amounted to five matches by that time. In the last round, a draw with Arsenal took place (1:1). This was a pleasant surprise for the fans of the club and the second positive moment in eight meetings. The Cherries managed to catch up with the upcoming opponent and earned 20 tournament points. By the way, there is no significant difference between the opponents in terms of statistics. The goal difference of Albion is 22/28, and Bournemouth has 20/26. Besides, there is a certain understatement in the actions of Bournemouth. The Cherries didn’t score in the last three games lost.
The relationships between the teams have recently been developing quite well. Bournemouth lost in only one out of last five head-to-head matches, and I’m talking only about the championship format. The Cherries gained three victories and a draw. But I propose not to pay attention to these statistics. The Seagulls will surely show fierce resistance in their field and, most likely, will win. Now the Cherries are like a tired wolf, which lacks teeth. About seven men of Eddie Howe won’t help the team in the upcoming game. Opponents know each other very well. This means only one thing – both teams will try to show their maximum level. Bet: Over 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
