Brighton & Hove Albion vs Bournemouth; Premier League Showdown at the Amex
Brighton & Hove Albion will host Bournemouth in a crucial Premier League clash at the Amex Stadium on Tuesday night, with both teams vying for European qualification. The Seagulls come into the match on the back of a dominant 4-0 victory over Southampton, while Bournemouth suffered a 1-0 defeat to Wolves, playing much of the game with 10 men after Illia Zabarnyi’s red card.
Brighton currently sit ninth in the table with 40 points, just three points behind sixth-placed Bournemouth. A win for the hosts would see them level on points with their south coast rivals. The Seagulls have been in strong form, winning six of their last eight matches, with Joao Pedro and Georginio Rutter leading the attack in the absence of Danny Welbeck. Defensively, Brighton have tightened up since their 7-0 thrashing by Nottingham Forest earlier in the month, conceding just once in their last three games.
Bournemouth, meanwhile, will be without Zabarnyi due to suspension, adding to their defensive woes with Marcos Senesi and full-backs Adam Smith and Julian Araujo also unavailable. Manager Andoni Iraola may field a makeshift backline, with Lewis Cook and Dean Huijsen likely to start at centre-back. Despite their recent setback, the Cherries have been impressive on the road, unbeaten in their last eight away games, winning six of those.
The reverse fixture in November saw Brighton emerge as 2-1 winners, and they will be looking to complete the double over Bournemouth. However, the visitors’ attacking threat, led by Dango Ouattara and supported by the likes of Dominic Solanke and Ryan Christie, could pose problems for Brighton’s defence.
Predicted line-ups suggest Brighton will stick with their 4-2-3-1 formation, featuring Bart Verbruggen in goal and a midfield anchored by Carlos Baleba and Yasin Ayari. Bournemouth are expected to line up in a 4-2-3-1, with Neto between the posts and a midfield duo of Tyler Adams and Ryan Christie.
This high-stakes encounter promises to be an entertaining affair, with both teams eager to strengthen their push for European football. Brighton’s attacking dynamism and home advantage could give them the edge, but Bournemouth’s resilience on the road ensures they remain a formidable opponent.
