Brighton & Hove Albion
WWDLDL ⚖
After a loss in their previous game against Crystal Palace in Premier League action, Brighton will be hoping to turn things around here.
In that game, Brighton & Hove Albion managed 74% possession and 25 shots at goal with 5 of them on target. The only player to score for Brighton & Hove Albion was Joël Veltman (55'). On the other side, Crystal Palace had 3 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. Jean-Philippe Mateta (28') and Christian Benteke (90') scored for Crystal Palace.
It is worth noting that Brighton have been starved of goals over their previous 6 games, recording the unsatisfactory return of only 4. In those matches, The Seagulls have also seen the collective goal tally against them equal 4. Nevertheless, we must now wait to see whether such a trend might persist in this next match or not.
