Brighton v Bristol City Betting Tips
Brighton will win the league with a victory in this one. That having been said, if Newcastle don’t win on Friday night against Cardiff, then the Seagulls will be champions before they even kick a ball in this one. The Seagulls have been a powerful unit at home this season in the Championship with a W17 D3 L2 record having been posted and they are obviously favourites for this one. Brighton did slump to a 2-0 defeat at Norwich on the weekend, after conceding two own goals in the game. But going back to their home form, they have put together a four-match winning streak there and will be expected to get past City. Brighton took a 2-0 win in Bristol earlier in the season and a Brighton 2-0 correct score at Coral for this one is trading at a price of 15/2. Two of Brighton’s last three home wins over Bristol City have been by that scoreline. Brighton to win to nil at Coral is a 2/1 option for the game.
In the Coral anytime goalscorer market, Glenn Murray is even money favourite with Anthony Knockaert at 15/8. All credit is due to Bristol City because they were looking like relegation candidates at one point, but they have posted a great W5 D1 L2 record in their last eight played, to pull themselves away from the drop zone. But most of the success in that sequence have happened at home because they have failed to win any of their last three on the road (D1 L2) and they have taken just a W3 D5 L14 record out on the road this season in the Championship. They do only need a point to ensure survival in the Championship this season, but they have probably done enough at this point now anyway. Bristol City have scored in just one of their last three trips to Brighton and it looks as if they are lacking the away form to stop Brighton landing a win in their final home game. Under 2.5 goals in the game at Coral is trading at a price of 3/5.
