Burnley vs Brighton Betting Tips

Brighton are still unbeaten in the league this year but are no longer top of the table having only managed to draw 6 of their last 9 matches. Chris Hughton’s team have proved themselves to be made of stern stuff and they’ve avoided defeat in some tricky recent away games at the likes of Reading and high-flying Sheffield Wednesday so they should travel with plenty of belief but this will perhaps be their toughest game of the season yet.

Burnley have adapted well to life back in the 2nd tier and are unbeaten in 7 matches, winning 3 of the last 4 to close in on the Seagulls. 3 points here would not only see them end Brighton’s unbeaten start but it would move them above their opponents and into the automatic promotion places.

Goals seem likely in this game with both sides high on confidence. Burnley have won 6 of their last 7 home games but have conceded in 5 of their last 6 outings at Turf Moor so they aren’t a side that is impossible to break down.

Brighton have only failed to score in 3 of their 18 matches this term and both teams have scored in over 50% of them while in their away games in the league that figure rises to 75%.

Therefore certainly backing both teams to score in this game at Evens, has plenty of logic behind it. Although Brighton are unbeaten, Burnley have more quality in their ranks and could be the side to finally burst the bubble of Chris Hughton’s side.

At 9/1 you can back Burnley to secure a 2-1 win, a scoreline they have already won by on 4 previous occasions this season.
