Brighton Preview
It has been a wonderful season so far for Brighton. The team has recovered from the blow of losing its coach at the start of the campaign, and it has become one of the leading teams in English soccer.
Although they were knocked out by second-tier Charlton in the EFL Cup, Brighton is still in the running in the FA Cup after defeating Middlesbrough in the previous round. Moreover, a stretch of just one defeat in five Premier League games saw them consolidate their position in sixth place in the standings, just five points off the European places.
During the aforementioned period, Brighton recorded a historic win over Liverpool, by an impressive 3-0 scoreline on January 14 at the same stadium. That was the fifth time Brighton has avoided being defeated in its last six meetings with the Anfield side.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Jason Steele; Tariq Lamptey, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster, Pelvis Estupinan; Moises Caicedo, Alexis Mac Allister, Pascal Groß; Solly March, Evan Ferguson, Kaoru Mitoma.
Liverpool Preview
Unlike its opponents, things have not gone well for Liverpool this season. The team has had to deal with constant injuries, which have considerably reduced the team’s performance. Now, it arrives to this match agains Brighton after having defeated Wolverhampton 0-1 in the replay match of the previous round.
That win was preceded by an intense and bittersweet goalless draw against Chelsea in the last Premier League matchday. Also, it has now placed them ninth in the standings, and ten points behind the top four in the table. The FA Cup win over the Wolves is still the only win Liverpool has recorded so far in 2023.
Virgil Van Dijk, Luis Díaz, Arthur, Diogo Jota and Roberto Firmino are among the notable absentees that coach Jürgen Klopp will have to deal with for this match, The Dutch defender is perhaps the most painful loss for the team, having allowed at least two goals in three of their last four meetings with Brighton..
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Caoimhín Kelleher; Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ibrahima Konate, Joe Gomes, Konstantinos Tsimikas; Naby Keïta, Fabinho, Thiago; Harvey Elliot, Darwin Núñez, Fábio Carvalho.
JefeBet Prediction
The recent meetings between these teams have been very entertaining, with three of the last four matches registering three goals or more. That could well be the case in this Brighton vs Liverpool match, given that, although Liverpool has a lot of absences, it still has some very good attacking players on its side.
Moreover, Brighton has been playing at an incredible level offensively all campaign, scoring at least two goals in ten of their last eleven matches in all competitions, although their defense was able to keep a clean sheet in just one of those games.
While we don’t expect Brighton to defeat Liverpool again, we do expect this to be a very entertaining game until the end, with neither team wanting to play in the play-off match. Thus, the best option is to expect a score of more than 3 goals.
Prediction: Over (BRI 3 – 2 LIV).
