Liverpool vs. Brighton Preview and Betting Odds

Although they recently lost the Premier League lead, Liverpool is having a strong season under the guidance of manager Arne Slot, but Brighton will look to be a thorn in their side at Anfield.

The Reds are coming off a 2-2 draw with Arsenal, with Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah finding the net. That cost them the top spot.

The Seagulls also come into this match after a 2-2 home tie, this one against Wolverhampton, with goals scored by Danny Welbeck and Evan Ferguson.

Liverpool vs Brighton Betting Odds and Info

Why bet on Liverpool?

Before the season began, there were many doubts surrounding Liverpool due to Jürgen Klopp’s departure and the lack of new signings, but Arne Slot has managed his players well, keeping the team competitive across all tournaments.

In their last match, the Reds visited Arsenal, another title contender, and ended in a 2-2 draw. They trailed the entire game but managed to secure a point thanks to goals from Virgil Van Dijk and Mohamed Salah.

Liverpool currently sits in second place with 22 points, just one unit behind Manchester City. Their record stands at seven wins, one draw, and one loss, which notably occurred at home.

It’s worth noting that Slot’s squad recently knocked Brighton out of the League Cup with a 3-2 away win, thanks to a brace from Cody Gakpo and a goal by Luis Díaz.

The Reds boast the best goal difference (+12) in the Premier League and also the best defense, having conceded only five goals.

Salah has been the standout player in the league, with six goals and five assists across nine matches.

Liverpool’s injury list includes goalkeeper Alisson, defender Conor Bradley, midfielder Harvey Elliot, and forwards Federico Chiesa and Diogo Jota.

Why bet on Brighton?

Like their opponents this week, Brighton also lost their head coach as Roberto De Zerbi left for Marseille in France. His position was taken over by the young Fabian Hurzeler, only 31 years old, who has not disappointed so far.

Last week, the Seagulls missed a strong chance to secure a home win, ending in a 2-2 draw against Wolves. They led 2-0 in the 87th minute with goals from Danny Welbeck and Evan Ferguson but conceded two late goals.

Under Hurzeler’s management, Brighton sits in sixth place with 16 points, having recorded four wins, four draws, and just one loss. However, it’s worth noting that they’ve won only twice in their last five league games.

The Seagulls have been strong on the road, earning seven points out of a possible twelve, with just one away loss, which came against Chelsea.

An interesting stat for the club is their success at Anfield, where they’ve avoided defeat in three of their last five visits, managing two draws and one win.

Welbeck is enjoying an excellent start to the season with six goals and one assist in the Premier League.

Brighton’s injury list includes Adam Webster, James Milner, and Joao Pedro, while Welbeck has also been dealing with some physical issues.
