Brighton vs. Manchester City Predictions

• Where: Amex Stadium, Brighton, England
• When: Friday, April 26, 03:00 AM

City’s situation is pretty simple. To win the title, they have to beat every rival until the end of the season. Now, that’s easier said than done, but Guardiola’s machinery has what it takes to do it. After all, we’ve seen them in similar positions in the past. Brighton didn’t play as expected in the latest several events, but the Seagulls can’t move up or down from the middle of the standings.

Brighton vs. Manchester City Preview

Brighton

Brighton is currently in a challenging phase, with only two wins in their last ten matches. One of these victories was in the Premier League against Nottingham, a 1-0 win, and the other was against Roma in the Europa League, with the same outcome. However, the latter was not enough to overturn a 0-4 deficit from the first leg. 

Seagulls couldn’t triumph in the previous four, recording two losses and two draws. They really looked deflated during this streak, particularly the offensive line, which was their biggest strength in the past. 

In two of the four winless events, Brighton wasn’t able to score. When we look back in the past, during the periods in which they posted good results, the Seagulls have netted frequently, winning points mainly through high efficiency. 

Manchester City

Manchester City has bounced back from a Champions League defeat against Real Madrid and an exit from the quarterfinals. That being after the penalties made it only more painful. A narrow 1-0 win over Chelsea may not have been flashy, but it secured their spot in the FA Cup finals.

While City’s defense had been shaky in previous matches, they managed to keep a clean sheet against the Blues despite some close calls. We’ve seen plenty of flaws in the back line, and Guardiol has to address these issues, otherwise, the title might slip through their hands.

The trend of poor defensive displays on the road has been present for a while, and only two in the last ten outings explain this in the best possible way.

Brighton vs Manchester City Head to Head

City was better in the first meeting of the year. They won 2-1 at the Etihad, with Alvarez and Haaland hitting the back of the net in the opening 20 minutes. Fati cut the lead, but the guests didn’t have the power to add one more goal.

Brighton vs. Manchester City Predictions

The title is on the line. Do we need to say more than that? Other than this, City is a better team, and Brighton has problems in their game, so the guests’ victory comes as a logical pick.
