Brighton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League
by Joseph King | in Premier League Predictions
Sixth-place Brighton host recently crowned league champions Manchester City for this rescheduled matchday 32 fixture. Brighton are three points ahead of seventh-place Aston Villa and also hold a game in hand advantage. A win or a draw here would officially lock up sixth-place for the Seagulls. Brighton's vastly superior goal differential over Aston Villa essentially guarantees them their current position and qualification into next season's Europa League group stage. Manchester City have now won their third consecutive Premier League title and fifth in the last six seasons. It has been a fantastic season for Pep Guardiola's side, who are also well-poised to complete a historic treble. Man City will meet local rivals Manchester United in the FA Cup final and Inter in the Champions League final in June.

Brighton - Manchester City: Form Analysis
What else is there to say about this Manchester City side? Echoing manager Pep Guardiola's sentiments, completing the treble would put this team up among the very best that we have ever witnessed in the sport. Man City are coming off a 1-0 home victory over Chelsea in their last league fixture. The league champions have now won 18 of their last 20 matches across all competitions. The only two blemishes during that stretch were a pair of 1-1 away draws in the Champions League to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. Manchester City have amazingly won their last 12 straight in the Premier League and are closing in on four months without tasting defeat.
Brighton have had a fantastic campaign in their own right, taking a significant step forward from their ninth-place finish last year. They will now be competing in a European competition for the first time in their club's history next season. Brighton are coming off a 3-1 home win over Southampton and have won four of their last six league fixtures. A large part of Brighton's success is down to their consistently high-level of performance whether playing home or away. The hosts are averaging 1.83 points per game at the Amex Stadium and 1.56 points per game on the road. Brighton will face off with seventh-place Villa on the final day but would have to suffer back-to-back eight-goal margins of defeat to lose out their league position.

Brighton & Manchester City Squad Analysis
It was a display of the sheer embarrassment of riches at Pep Guardiola's disposal in his team's meeting with Chelsea on the weekend. The Catalan was able to field a heavily rotated starting 11 with the league title already in the bag and his team were still able to emerge victorious. Man City have to strike the right balance between rest and ensuring that their best players stay sharp. With so many big names starting on the bench in the win against Chelsea, there's a good chance we see them return for this fixture. Guardiola might be looking to start the likes of Haaland, De Bruyne, Gundogen and Rodri with a plan to rest them on the final matchday against Brentford. The only injury concern for the visitors is that of Nathan Ake who is dealing with a hamstring problem.
There are a couple of injury concerns for the 43-year-old Roberto De Zerbi to deal with coming into this fixture. Brighton will be without Adam Lallana, Tariq Lamptey, Jeremy Sarmiento, Solly March and Jakub Moder. 18-year old Evan Ferguson, who scored a brace against Southampton, could be returned to the bench in favor of Danny Welbeck. There aren't likely going to be too many changes as Brighton are technically still in the hunt for the Europa League. Expect the likes of Mitoma, Mac Allister and Enciso to support Welbeck up top.

Our Brighton vs Manchester City Prediction
The reverse fixture finished in a 3-1 win for Manchester City on their home field back in October. We're predicting a similarly high-scoring encounter here in what should be an entertaining game. Man City have been simply irresistible this season with the goal-scoring form that they have been in. In addition, we expect Premier League record goal scorer Erling Haaland to return to the starting 11. Brighton are one of the more exciting attacking sides in the division and are more than capable of breaching this City backline. Therefore, our Brighton vs Manchester City prediction is for both teams to score and over 2.5 goals.
Brighton vs Manchester City - Other Interesting Predictions
Over 3.5 goals
This is an excellent price to back two of the top four highest scoring teams in the division. Manchester City top the scoring charts with 93 goals while Brighton sit fourth with an impressive 70 goals scored. In addition, three of Brighton's last four have eclipsed the 3.5 goals total.
Brighton +1 European Handicap
It's only natural that the Man City players might take their foot off the gas with nothing left to play for in the league. Meanwhile, Brighton will still be out to lock up sixth-place with a point. With how impressive Brighton have been this season at the Amex, back them to avoid defeat here.
