Team Analysis
Bournemouth
Manager Andoni Iraola has instilled resilience in Bournemouth, especially at home, where they’ve secured three consecutive wins against Southampton, Arsenal, and Manchester City. Despite this, inconsistency has hampered their campaign, as shown in their 3-2 loss to Brentford before the international break.
Defensive struggles persist, with only one clean sheet all season, but their high-pressing game is paying dividends (2,336 pressures, second in the league). Key forward Evanilson has been instrumental, scoring in three consecutive matches.
Key Absentees
Ryan Christie (suspension)
Alex Scott, Julian Araujo, and Luis Sinisterra (injuries)
Predicted Lineup (4-2-3-1):
Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Adams, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton, under Fabian Hurzeler, come into the game after a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Manchester City. Known for their attacking flair, the Seagulls have found goals from various sources this season. However, their defensive fragility remains a concern, with 15 goals conceded—the most among teams in the top eight.
Veteran striker Danny Welbeck leads their scoring charts with six goals, while the creative spark of Matt O'Riley in midfield ensures Brighton’s attack remains dangerous.
Key Absentees
James Milner and Solly March (long-term injuries)
Adam Webster, Lewis Dunk, and Tariq Lamptey (doubts)
Predicted Lineup (4-4-2):
Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Adingra, Baleba, O'Riley, Mitoma; Welbeck, Pedro
Head-to-Head
Bournemouth have won four of their five Premier League home games against Brighton (L1).
Brighton have triumphed in three of the last four Premier League meetings, but Bournemouth claimed an emphatic 3-0 win in their last clash.
Key Players to Watch
Evanilson (Bournemouth): The Brazilian striker is in superb form, aiming to score in four consecutive Premier League games—a feat not achieved by a Bournemouth player since 2019.
Danny Welbeck (Brighton): With his experience and clinical finishing, Welbeck remains a pivotal figure in Brighton’s attack.
Match Prediction
This clash promises goals, with both teams excelling in attack but struggling defensively. Bournemouth’s impressive home record gives them a slight advantage, but Brighton’s determination to secure European football makes a draw the likeliest outcome.
Prediction: Bournemouth 2-2 Brighton & Hove Albion

Evanilson to Score Anytime: Bournemouth’s in-form striker is a solid pick for an anytime goal.
