Preview: Bournemouth vs. Brighton- prediction, lineups, free online

The upcoming Premier League match between Bournemouth and Brighton promises to be an intriguing encounter, as both teams approach the game with contrasting recent performances. Bournemouth, having suffered a narrow defeat against Brentford (Knapton, 2024), will seek to leverage their strong home advantage, where they have won their last three matches. In contrast, Brighton arrives with momentum after a significant victory over Manchester City, highlighting their capability to upset formidable opponents .

Bournemouth would have hoped to challenge for a top-half finish after a solid debut season under Andoni Iraola. However, the club’s fans might not have envisioned a potential top-four battle, with third-placed Chelsea only four points ahead. The Cherries have lost only one of their last four top-flight outings, although that defeat came in the game before the international break.

On the other hand, Brighton & Hove Albion are level on points with Chelsea and two more clubs, with the team firmly in the race for a top-four finish. Fabian Hurzeler has taken no time to get his ideas across, with his charges losing only twice in 11 outings thus far. In addition, the Seagulls sprang a surprise before the international break by beating Manchester City to blow the top-four chase wide open.

Bournemouth have won four of their five Premier League home games against Brighton despite the Seagulls rise in the division.

Though the Seagulls have a poor away record against the Cherries, they've won three of their last four too, but did lose this fixture last season 3-0.

Bournemouth could win four in a row at home after picking up huge victories against Man City and Arsenal.

Bournemouth possible starting lineup: Kepa; Smith, Zabarnyi, Senesi, Kerkez; Adams, Cook; Semenyo, Kluivert, Tavernier; Evanilson

Brighton & Hove Albion possible starting lineup: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Adingra, O'Riley, Baleba, Mitoma; Pedro, Welbeck

This one should guarantee goals, but we are sitting on the fence and forecasting a high-scoring draw, given how hard Bournemouth are to beat at home and how tough Brighton are to beat, well pretty much anywhere right now: Bournemouth 2-2 Brighton & Hove Albion.
