Brighton take on the visitors Manchester City in the postponed round 32 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, May 24th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton’s management was not satisfied with settling for a mid-table position. The hopes for further progress were placed on Potter, who indeed achieved it. However, he couldn't lead the club to European competitions and left for Chelsea in the autumn. Graham was surprisingly replaced by Roberto De Zerbi, who had only worked for Donetsk's Shakhtar outside his home country. Doubts were present, but the Italian answered them correctly and effectively with results. Under the current coach, Brighton has achieved maximum results. In the FA Cup, they narrowly missed reaching the final after a prolonged penalty shootout against Manchester United. In the Premier League, they managed to remain contenders for European competitions. Yes, there have been setbacks, like the 1-5 loss to Everton. But then they went on to defeat Arsenal. In recent matches, there have been contrasting results as well: a heavy defeat against Newcastle followed by a 3-1 victory over Southampton, solidifying their position at 6th, a potentially "European competition" position.

Manchester City have long accustomed themselves to setting only maximum goals. This is reflected in their tight schedule as the ambitious club approaches the end of the current season. Last Wednesday, they played the second leg of the semi-finals against Real Madrid. After a fair 1-1 draw at the Santiago Bernabeu, they simply demolished their skilled opponents at the Foggy Albion, securing a 4-0 victory. Furthermore, they have the FA Cup final to look forward to in June – not only an opportunity to win the trophy but also a chance to defeat "United" in the derby once again. Against this backdrop, they can afford to relax a bit in the Premier League. Thanks to Arsenal, a club that held the lead for so long, Manchester City first closed the gap and then emphatically defeated them in a direct match, maintaining their advantage this month as well. Holland and company have shown championship-worthy, flawless statistics. They didn't impress against Chelsea, but they still managed to win with Alvaro's lone goal.
In May 2021, "Brighton" finally managed to win a head-to-head match. However, since then, "The Citizens" have won three times, scoring at least three goals each time. The guests are considered favorites, but they have nothing to prove here. We predict a neutral outcome with "under 3.5 total goals."
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
