Leicester vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips - Premier League

Prediction published on 20/01/2023, 12:17  by Daniel Ngulu in Premier League Predictions

Brighton’s next outing in the Premier League will see them travel to Leicester City, where they will be targeting to continue with their fine run in recent games. They have 30 points, in seventh place while their hosts Leicester City go into this game with 17 points, in 15th place. Leicester City are going through one of their toughest seasons in the league and coming into this game they have four straight league losses. Their last outing ended in a 2-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, that being their third game in four in the league without scoring. They have conceded two or more goals in three of their last four league matches and at home, they’ve failed to score in the last three league games, losing all. Leicester’s main undoing this season has been the lack of momentum at home; their only win in nine league games there was against Nottingham Forest. Apart from their bad home run, Leicester City’s season has been derailed by injuries and that will not ease in this game. They still have Ricardo Pereira, Boubakar Soumare, James Justin, Jonny Evans and Ryan Bertrand out.

Brighton on the other hand, are flying high; they come into this game on three straight wins and they’ve only lost once in the last five matches. In their last outing, they blanked Liverpool 3-0 at home. A win here could see them leap into the European slots and in their recent form it will be hard to argue against them winning this. They have just released their lead scorer, Leandro Trossard but they are still a strong side, especially in attack, being the fifth best scorers in the league with 35 goals. In each of the last five matches, they’ve scored two or more goals and won three of the last five league games. However, Brighton have kept just one clean sheet in the last five league matches. Away from home, Brighton have done well in the recent matches, coming into this one with three straight wins, and having scored three goals in each. Brighton will not have the Trossard quality any more but Solly March will be in inspired form after his brace against Liverpool. On a not-so-positive side, Levi Colwill is out of this game as well as Jakub Moder.
