Manchester City take on the visitors Brighton & Hove Albion at the City of Manchester Stadium in the 7th tour of the Premier League. The match will be played in the eponymous city Manchester on Saturday, September 29th.
Manchester City are on the second place in the Premier League with sixteen points to their credit at the moment. The team has not lost yet this season but they have gotten one draw. In their last three official home fixtures the Citizens won all of them and scored at least two goals in each of them. They have such players as Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling in their offensive line so it is not surprising at all that they often score a lot. In their six fixtures of the 2018/2019 Premier League season the Sky Blues scored nineteen times and allowed only three. In their last three matches Manchester City beat Oxford United with a 3-0 score in the 1/16-finals fixture of the Carabao Cup, beat Cardiff City with a 5-0 score and lost to Lyon with a 1-2 score in their Champions League group stage fixture.

Brighton & Hove Albion have not been impressive so far this season. The team is on the thirteenth place in the table with five points to their credit at the moment. They have been unable to get a victory for four league fixtures straight. However, they still have big motivation to win. The Seagulls try to give a fair fight to any opponent every match. They have not lost their Premier League matches with more than -1.0 handicap this season. It`s worth noting that the team of Chris Hughton has not won on the away fields yet conceding five goals and scoring two overall. In their last three matches Brighton & Hove Albion lost to Tottenham Hotspur with a 1-2 score, drew against Southampton with a 2-2 score and against Fulham with a 2-2 score. In their 1/32-finals fixture of the Carabao Cup the Albion lost to Southampton with a 0-1 score.
Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion have faced each other only two times in history in the Premier League. The Citizens won both of those fixtures with a -2.0 handicap each. The team of Pep Guardiola is a lot stronger than the Seagulls and has a lot better squad at the moment. Thereby they should get a confident victory with a big handicap in the upcoming fixture.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -2.0 handicap.
