Brighton & Hove Albion host Manchester City in round 9 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, October 23rd at Amex Stadium (Brighton)
Despite the unsatisfactory results of the last season (16th place), the management of Brighton & Hove Albion did not fire Graham Potter and his coaching staff. As it turned out, the decision not to change anything turned out to be the right one. The Seagulls showed a great start to the 2021/2022 season. Brighton is in a higher part of the Premier League standings. The club has already scored 15 points and has lost only once. The unbeaten streak in all tournaments lasts six games in a row (three victories and three draws). In the first half of October, Brighton played two goalless draws. If one point scored in the match against Arsenal is a good result, the main outsider in the person of Norwich had to be beaten.

Manchester City rounds out the top three teams in the English Premier League standings. The Citizens scored 17 points and are still trying to catch up with the leaders. Leading Liverpool and Chelsea have won their last matches, and Manchester City was no exception. The Sky Blues had a complete advantage over Burnley and deservedly won with a score of 2-0. At the same time, their lineup was not optimal. Josep Guardiola could not count on main goalkeeper Ederson, winger Ferran Torres, and striker Gabriel Jesus. The Brazilians returned late from the national team camp, and the Spaniard is injured.
Brighton has significantly stepped up lately. The Seagulls felt that they could score points and managed to rise to the top of the standings. Manchester City wins with a sub-optimal lineup, but victories are not major. In the previous season, the Seagulls lost to the Citizens at home (0-1) but took revenge at Etihad Stadium (2-3). This will be Man City's second away match in a row as the team played against Club Brugge KV in the UEFA Champions League group stage in the midweek (1-5). Perhaps the fatigue of the Citizens will affect their production. We would venture to assume that there will be few goals in the upcoming match. In addition, Guardiola's men played three out of four away matches in the current Premier League draw with a 1-0 score. Brighton played all four home games with Under 3.0 goals scored (one return).
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
