Brighton take on the visitors Manchester City in the postponed round 29 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, April 25th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton faced new challenges as they debuted in the Europa League. Despite this, the club remained true to its principles and even last summer, sold its leaders, albeit at a high price. Nevertheless, for a significant part of the season, they managed to perform well. In the European arena, the Englishmen won their group, stayed high in the Premier League, and won in the cup. But by spring, everything fell apart. First, there was a defeat on February 28th to Wolverhampton in the cup, and literally a week later, a 0-4 loss in Italy - after such a performance against Roma in the fight for a place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League, there was no more talk of. And in the league, De Zerbi's charges, who had hinted at their readiness to move on to more ambitious projects, lately alternated between draws and losses. They couldn't even beat Burnley, finishing with a 1-1 draw.

Manchester City are going through a crucial period of the football year. In 2023, the Cityzens won everything they could, except for the minor trophies for a club of their stature like the Super Cup and the English League Cup. The main thing is that they finally won the Champions League - their first triumph in history and the result of long and persistent efforts undertaken even before Pep's arrival in Albion. But Guardiola, of course, found motivation even after achieving the maximum result: to stay on top everywhere, immediately repeating the treble! A lot is being decided right now in this regard. In the Champions League, the Englishmen again faced Real Madrid, but earlier than usual, already in the quarter-finals. After a spectacular 3-3 draw in Spain, they shocked everyone at home, including themselves, failing to deal effectively with the cream's defense led by the saving Lunin. Yes, De Bruyne capitalized on Rudiger's mistake and equalized - but only for Andrei to shine in the penalty shootout, saving Bernard Silva's shot and Kovacevic's attempt. With minimal rest, the grand played against Chelsea at Wembley on Saturday for a place in the FA Cup final. There, the favorite played weakly under the pressure of a possible failure. Fortunately, the Blues led by Nicholas Jackson messed up everything they could. And Silva scored in the final stages, sending the team to the final, and at the same time redeeming himself for the penalty miss against the galacticos. But in the Premier League, the rivals helped themselves: on April 14th, synchronously lost to both Liverpool and Arsenal, allowing the favorite to jump ahead of them. But now they must not allow any mistakes themselves to maintain their lead.
Last season, after breaking a series of three defeats, the Seagulls played a draw with the Cityzens. But then they lost away 1-2 in the fall. The guests are seen as the clear favorites. But they haven't been shining in recent matches, and the hosts - even longer. Let's bet on total under 3.0 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 scored goals.
