Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion | Prediction, Betting Tips & Odds
Premier League champions Manchester City take on Brighton & Hove Albion this week, with Pep Guardiola’s side still hoping to make it to 100 points in the standings from their final two fixtures of the season. However, with the visitors having defeated City’s rivals Manchester United on home soil last time around, Chris Haughton’s men could well test the champions too.
Match Preview
Manchester City will be looking to return to winning ways when they take on Brighton at the Etihad on Wednesday evening, with Pep Guardiola’s side having shown signs of their title celebrations when they laboured to a draw against Huddersfield Town last time around. However, with Brighton being on a high after securing their Premier League status for another season, it could well be an entertaining affair. The hosts are the undoubted favourites in the betting odds from bookmakers, however there are still plenty of attractive markets worth checking out before kick-off. For those still unsure of who to back, be sure to check out our top betting tip below. However, let’s first take a closer look at the two teams, starting with the home side.
Manchester City
City have won three of their last five Premier League matches, with manager Guardiola potentially set to give some of his fringe players a run-out against Brighton this week. Sergio Aguero will miss out through injury, while Benjamin Mendy could earn a rare start following his substitute appearance against Huddersfield.
Brighton & Hove Albion
A goal from German Pascal Groß was enough to hand Brighton victory against Manchester United on Friday evening, with manager Haughton looking for a similar performance this time around. Veteran midfielder Steve Sidwell is the only major injury concern for the visitors, while the likes of Solly March and Baram Kayal are pushing for recalls.
Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion Head to Head
The two teams have met just twice in the past, with City coming out on top when the duo clashed on the south coast earlier in the season, when a Sergio Aguero strike and a Lewis Dunk own goal helped them to a 2-0 success. However, Brighton did knock City out of the League Cup back in 2008, winning on penalties following a 2-2 draw after extra-time. This will be the first ever meeting between the two clubs at the Etihad Stadium.
