Prediction published on 04/02/2021, 04:47  by Daniel Ngulu | Modified on 04/02/2021 at 04:53 in Premier League Predictions

Burnley have lost their last two league matches and will be desperate to return to winning ways when they host Brighton, who have no loss in the last five games. Two points separate the two sides, Burnley have 22, in 17th place and Brighton have 24 points, in 15th place. Burnley have had two tough matches, against Chelsea and Manchester City, losing both and in the second of their three straight home games they hope for some reprieve. Most of Burnley’s troubles this season base on the fact that they do not score a lot of goals. In the last 10 matches, they’ve scored two or more in just two and in 15 league matches, they’ve scored two or more in two as well. Burnley have failed to score in six of their last 10 league matches and 10 of their last 12 league matches have produced under 2.5 goals. They’ve scored the least goals in the league – 13, and will be hoping their good run of four wins in seven league games at home plays out here.

Brighton are coming from an impactful win over Liverpool, at Anfield. They beat the champions 1-0 for their fifth straight unbeaten outing. It was also their fourth straight clean sheet in the Premier League. However, just like Burnley, they also don’t score a lot. In the last 10 matches, they have scored more than a goal in just two games, but they’ve improved defensively. Brighton have conceded two or more goals in only two of their last 10 matches. With back to back wins over top four contenders Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur, they’ll go to this game psychologically stronger. Brighton will also be backed by two straight away league wins ahead of this clash. Four of their last five away games in the league have produced under 2.5 goals. Seven of the last 10 meetings between these two sides have also produced under 2.5 goals; the last time they met, it ended goalless.
