Brighton take on the visitors Bournemouth in the round 22 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, February 4th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton look like not even a phoenix, but like a football "roly-poly". The Seagulls have an amazing project. How many key players have they lost recent;y? Over the past summer, the undisputed top scorer Maupay, Cucurella and Bissuma left, moreover, at the beginning of autumn, the coach, Potter, was also lured to Chelsea. Last month was also very difficult for Albion. Trossard left due to a conflict with the new manager, until the last there was a pursuit of Mac Allister and, especially, Caicedo. But it is curious that under such conditions the new mentor, De Zerbi, was able to gradually get used to the Foggy Albion. 10 points in 5 "winter" matches of the Premier League brought the rise to 6th place in the current table. Brighton will be missing at least two of the team's starting line-up after the win over Liverpool: Evan Ferguson is injured and Alexis Mac Allister has been suspended.

Bournemouth looks like a team doomed to relegation. The Cherries returned to the level of the Premier League at the end of last season. But the manager who made it happen, Scott Parker, was sacked at the start of the new season, not being pardoned for 0-9 defeat to Liverpool. But they didn't particularly look for a replacement for him, leaving Gary O'Neill as his successor, having bought into good statistics in the fall. But skeptics believed that then the young mentor "traveled on the luggage" of his predecessor. In winter, this effect was no longer there, and the club flew out of both cups, and also lost four times at the junction of December and January. And only in the last round they took a draw with Nottingham Forest - more precisely, in the end, the Foresters bounced back with a goal in the 83rd minute. The Cherries manager should have a few extra options to choose from this weekend after the club made three signings in the last two days of the January transfer window.
In the 2019/2020 season, when Bournemouth last played in the Premier League, the clubs exchanged confident home victories. The hosts are much stronger, and must prove it. We recommend betting on the victory of the Seagulls at home with a handicap of "-1.5 goals".
Prediction for the match: Brighton to win with -1.5 handicap.
