Brighton V Liverpool Predictions & Betting Odds

Brighton v Liverpool Betting Tips – Premier League 2nd December 3.00pm

The Seagulls continue to hold their ground in mid table in the Premier League after playing out a midweek 0-0 draw against bottom side Crystal Palace. They may well have felt that was a good three points having gone begging for them though to further strengthen their position. Now they get a much tougher home fixture at the Amex on the weekend when they have to try and keep the powerful Liverpool attack quiet. Liverpool are starting to hum with a bit of confidence again and will go as odds-on favourites down on the south coast for this one.

Brighton News and Form

Was a 0-0 home draw against Palace a good or bad result for the Seagulls? It’s a bit of both really but it feels like a missed three points for them. They have only suffered the one defeat in their last seven Premier League fixtures now though (W2 D4) record and so they are doing well overall. They have been a solid home side all season on the south coast and they have produced a good W2 D4 L1 there all season and undefeated in their last six league outings at the Amex. Only 29% of their home games this season have gone over 2.5 goals, but Liverpool will be carrying an attacking threat so what to do? Under 2.5 goals at Betfair is worth a flutter at around even money because Brighton can defend as they showed in a recent 1-0 loss at Old Trafford. Brighton have shipped only seven home goals all season. 75% of Brighton’s home goals this season have come after the break in matches. They have drawn each of their last four home fixtures in the top flight and it would be a huge point for them if they got one in this fixture. They do have the sixth-best defensive record in the Premier League this season. Can they frustrate the Reds?

Liverpool News and Form

Liverpool have been carrying much better form recently and strolled to a 3-0 away win at Stoke in midweek, inspired once again by Mo Salah who came off the bench to net a brace. That win followed on from their 1-1 draw at home against Chelsea last weekend and it extends their unbeaten form to five games (W4 D1) in the league now. They have scored at least three goals in four of their last five played (the 1-1 draw with Chelsea the exception). In the Betfair correct score market, a 1-0 win for the Reds is a price of 13/2 while a 3-0 option for them is out at a big 10/1 price. Going back to Mo Salah, he is the current Premier League top goalscorer. Salah is the Betfair 11/10 anytime goalscorer favourite and if the Reds are going to go up against a solid defence, then he could be the one to get the Reds the breakthrough. Liverpool have posted a W3 D2 L2 record away from home this season and have won their last two back to back, taking comfortable wins at West Ham and Stoke. Both teams not to score at Betfair looks appealing at a 4/5 price and Liverpool are at 6/4 with Betfair to win to nil. They have a big derby against Everton next weekend following this, they will want to keep the momentum going.

Brighton v Liverpool Head to Head

The last time that these two were together was in the 2011/12 season when they met each other in the FA Cup and the League Cup. Liverpool came out on top in both of those game and that means they are unbeaten in their last five fixtures against the Seagulls since a 2-0 loss on the south coast in the 1984 FA Cup. The last league meeting between them was in the 1982/83 Old Division 1, with Liverpool collecting four points from the two meetings.
