Brighton vs Liverpool Predictions

• Over 2.5 goals has landed in nine of the last ten meetings between these sides.
• Four of Liverpool’s last six games have featured three or more goals.
• Brighton have drawn four of their last eight home fixtures.

Reds may struggle at the Amex

Liverpool recovered from a first-leg defeat in Turkey to progress past Galatasaray in the Champions League on Wednesday, but fatigue may play a part when they make the trip to the south coast to face Brighton in Saturday’s early kick-off.

They have only won two of their last five matches and Brighton have won three of their four meetings since losing 3-0 at Anfield in February’s FA Cup tie.

Szoboszlai can contribute to goalfest

That was the ninth time in the last ten meetings between these sides that yielded at least three goals, and another high-scoring affair could be on the cards at the Amex Stadium.

Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Liverpool’s last six matches and, while Brighton’s attacking output has suffered at times this season, they have scored five times in their last four games, making over 2.5 goals the standout pick.

Four of Brighton’s last eight home games have ended all square and the Seagulls have scored at least two goals in their last five home meetings with Liverpool. This includes a 2-2 draw in 2023, and that looks a solid correct score prediction for Saturday’s tie.

One of the goalscorers could be Dominik Szoboszlai, who took his tally to 12 goals for the season when he netted against Galatasaray in midweek. He has scored seven of these in his last 13 outings, one of which came against Brighton in February.
