Brighton vs Bournemouth

Current streaks

Recent form

Brighton

Brighton have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, currently enjoying a three-match winning streak across all competitions. Their last six games have been a rollercoaster of results, with four wins and two losses. The Seagulls have been particularly prolific in front of goal, scoring 12 times in these matches, including a resounding 4-0 away victory against Southampton. However, their defensive record has been inconsistent, conceding 10 goals in the same period, largely due to a shocking 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest. Brighton's attacking prowess is evident, with 83% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals, and they've managed two clean sheets in this run. Despite sitting 11th in the league table, their current form suggests they could be pushing for a higher position if they maintain their goal-scoring form and tighten up their defence.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth have shown impressive form in their recent fixtures, winning four out of their last six matches and securing a respectable fifth-place position in the Premier League. The Cherries have been particularly prolific in front of goal, netting 14 times in these six games, with a notable average of 2.33 goals per match. Their defensive record has also been solid, conceding just five goals and keeping two clean sheets. Two standout performances include a 5-0 thrashing of Nottingham Forest and a convincing 4-1 away victory against Newcastle United, highlighting their potential for high-scoring encounters. Despite a recent loss to Wolves, Bournemouth's overall form suggests they are a force to be reckoned with, especially considering their positive goal difference of 9 and their ability to score consistently while maintaining a relatively tight defence.

Recent home/away form

Brighton

Brighton's recent home form has been a mixed bag, with the Seagulls showing signs of improvement in their last two matches. After a difficult spell where they failed to win in four consecutive home games, Brighton have bounced back with two impressive victories against Chelsea in both the Premier League and FA Cup. The 3-0 league win over Chelsea was particularly noteworthy, showcasing Brighton's ability to dominate top-tier opposition. Despite their inconsistent form, Brighton have been relatively solid defensively at home, keeping two clean sheets in their last six matches. The 3-1 loss to Crystal Palace stands out as the highest-scoring game in this period, with four goals. Interestingly, Brighton's home matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% of games seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in half of the fixtures.

Bournemouth

Bournemouth have been in impressive form away from home, currently enjoying a six-game unbeaten run with four wins and two draws. The Cherries are on a three-match winning streak on the road, scoring an impressive 9 goals whilst conceding only 2. Their attacking prowess is evident, with a remarkable average of 2.67 goals scored per game in their last six away fixtures. Notably, Bournemouth have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 83% of these matches seeing over 2.5 goals. Their 4-1 victory against Newcastle United stands out as a particularly emphatic result. The team's defensive improvements are also noteworthy, having kept two clean sheets in this period, including a impressive 3-0 win at Old Trafford against Manchester United. This strong away form has contributed significantly to Bournemouth's current 5th position in the league table.
