Brighton vs Bournemouth Prediction & Starting Lineups: Best betting tips

Brighton and Bournemouth do battle on the south coast in one of tonight's three 7.30pm Premier League clashes.

The southern sides are both enjoying cracking seasons, with 6th-placed Bournemouth just one point outside the top-4, with Brighton hot on their tails, three places and three points behind.

Read on for our best bets and information on the starting lineups.

Antoine Semenyo has been in good form for Bournemouth this season, scoring 7 goals and getting 4 assists in 24 Premier League games. He’s taken 93 shots so far, with 30 hitting the target - that’s about 1.25 shots on target per game. Semenyo is never shy about trying his luck and tends to get himself into good positions around the penalty area.

Brighton’s games usually tend to be very open, with chances flowing freely at both ends of the pitch. Because of their attacking style, Brighton often leave gaps in defence, meaning Semenyo could regularly find extra space to shoot in this game.

With Brighton likely pushing high up the pitch and leaving room behind their defence, Semenyo should get even more opportunities to test the keeper than usual. Given these factors, betting on Semenyo to have 2 or more shots on target looks like a strong option for this match.

Bournemouth have been playing well above expectations this season. They're currently sixth in the Premier League table with 12 wins, 7 draws, and only 7 defeats so far. They've been especially strong in recent weeks, picking up convincing victories like the 5-0 win against Nottingham Forest and a solid 3-1 victory over Southampton earlier this month. Their attacking players are in good form, scoring plenty of goals and giving them confidence going into this match.

Bournemouth actually lost to Wolverhampton in their most recent game and I am fully expecting them to bounce back from this by putting in a great performance against Brighton.

Brighton, meanwhile, have been more unpredictable. They've recently had a couple of good results, beating Chelsea and Southampton, but they've struggled at times to keep consistent form, especially defensively. Their attacking style can leave them vulnerable, and Bournemouth have the quality up front to take advantage.

Considering Bournemouth's strong recent form and Brighton's defensive weaknesses, backing Bournemouth to win this game looks like a smart choice.
