Brighton 2-2 Leicester

Current streaks

Recent form

Brighton

Brighton's recent form presents a mixed picture, with their last six matches showing a clear decline from initial success to recent struggles. The Seagulls began this period with two consecutive wins, including an impressive away victory against Newcastle United in the FA Cup. However, their form has since dipped, culminating in back-to-back Premier League losses against Aston Villa and Crystal Palace. Notably, Brighton have been involved in several high-scoring affairs, with five out of their last six matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Their defensive record has been a concern, conceding nine goals in this period, including a heavy 3-0 home defeat to Aston Villa. Despite these recent setbacks, Brighton have demonstrated resilience, managing a creditable 2-2 draw away at Manchester City. The team's current 9th position in the league table, with 47 points from 31 games, suggests they are still in contention for a respectable finish, though their recent form indicates they may need to address their defensive vulnerabilities to maintain their position.

Leicester

Leicester City are experiencing a dreadful run of form, currently sitting in 19th position in the Premier League with a mere 17 points from 31 games. The Foxes are enduring a torrid nine-match losing streak, failing to score a single goal in their last six fixtures whilst conceding a worrying 15. Their defensive frailties are particularly evident, having gone 27 games without keeping a clean sheet. The 4-0 drubbing at home to Brentford stands out as a particularly low point in this dismal sequence. Leicester's inability to find the back of the net is equally concerning, with their last six matches yielding a goal difference of -15. With half of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals, it's clear that Leicester are struggling at both ends of the pitch, leaving them in a precarious position as they fight for Premier League survival.

Recent home/away form

Brighton

Brighton have shown impressive form at home, with a notable run of four consecutive victories prior to their most recent two matches. Their goal-scoring prowess has been evident, particularly in their 3-0 thrashing of Chelsea in the Premier League. The Seagulls have been prolific in front of goal, netting nine times in their last six home fixtures, whilst maintaining a solid defensive record with only six goals conceded. Interestingly, Brighton's matches have been high-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent home games featuring over 2.5 goals. Despite a slight dip in form with a draw and a loss in their last two outings, Brighton's overall home performance has been strong, contributing significantly to their mid-table position in the Premier League.

Leicester

Leicester City's away form has been abysmal, with the Foxes currently enduring a five-match losing streak on the road. Their sole victory in their last six away fixtures came against Tottenham Hotspur, where they managed a 2-1 win. However, this positive result has been overshadowed by their subsequent performances. Leicester have failed to score in four of their last five away matches, conceding 11 goals during this period. Particularly concerning was their 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Everton, highlighting their defensive frailties. With an average of just 0.5 goals scored per game and 2 goals conceded per game in their last six away matches, Leicester's struggles both in attack and defence are evident. Their poor away form has contributed significantly to their precarious 19th position in the league, with the team desperately needing to improve their performances on the road to avoid relegation.
