Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City Preview
Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester City will face each other in the rescheduled match of the 29th round of the English Premier League. The game will take place on Thursday 25 April at the Amex Stadium in Brighton.
Perhaps the main contender for the title, Manchester City, will arrive in Brighton in order to reaffirm their championship ambitions. After Arsenal and Liverpool simultaneously lost their matches in the 33rd round, the fate of the first line is again in the hands of Pep Guardiola's team. If the Citizens achieve a 100% record in the remaining six matches, they will once again lift the coveted trophy over their heads. The away match against Brighton & Hove Albion on paper is not some kind of insoluble problem on the path to the championship, since the Seagulls are clearly finishing out the season without any tournament motivation.
The bookmakers are also confident that the guests will win the upcoming match. Judging by Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City odds, the favourite's success is estimated with modest odds of 1.42-1.52. The probability of the hosts’ win is estimated at about 6.15-6.30, while the odds for a draw are 4.95-5.10.
Let's assess the current form and motivation of the teams ahead of the head-to-head meeting and choose the most reliable option for Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City tips.
Brighton & Hove Albion Preview
The team is frankly finishing the season in the last games. The Seagulls come into the game against Manchester City in tenth place in the standings, with a streak of four matches without a win (2 draws, 2 losses). Moreover, during this period, Brighton was unable to beat Brentford (0-0) and Burnley (1-1), the teams from the lower part of the league standings. Theoretically, the team can still claim its place in the top-6 - the distance is only six points, but with results like in the last games, it will be difficult to do this.
The Seagulls will traditionally not be able to take to the field with the optimal lineup. In addition to players who have been injured for a long time, the team's infirmary was replenished by Pervis Estupinan, Julio Enciso, Evan Ferguson and Billy Gilmour. These players are unlikely to be 100 percent ready for the upcoming game.
Manchester City Preview
Manchester City has no other task than to win all remaining matches. After being relegated from the UEFA Champions League, winning the Premier League has become their priority and the Citizens are unlikely to lose their standards in the remaining games - their motivation for the rest of the season will be huge.
The team has already played one match after losing to Real Madrid on penalties - Chelsea was defeated by a minimal score in the FA Cup semi-finals, and now another Manchester derby awaits us in the decisive match.
As for injuries, the Citizens' top scorer Erling Haaland may miss the upcoming match in Brighton due to muscle problems. In addition, midfielder Phil Foden missed several training sessions.
Betting Tips Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City
Manchester City won four of the six head-to-head matches at the Amex Stadium, often by big scores - twice 4-1 and once 5-0. And only twice did the hosts manage to take points from the favourites - 3-2 in the 2020/21 season and 1-1 in the 2022/23 season.
It is clear that the motivated Pep Guardiola’s team is going to Brighton for three points, and they will certainly achieve their goal. The hosts have too many squad problems to try to take points from the leader, and the lack of motivation will certainly take its toll. Therefore, as a Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City prediction, we suggest focusing on a confident victory for the guests. Our tip for this game is Manchester City Handicap -1,5 at odds of 2.23.
