Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion. Shape of the Teams

Liverpool will face Brighton on March 31. After losing against Manchester United in the FA Cup, the Reds lost the chance to win all the tournaments they compete in. However, their campaign on other fronts is going very well.

Liverpool have already won the EFL Cup after beating Chelsea in the final with a narrow 1-0 score. They have also reached the quarter-finals in the Europa League, where Atalanta will be their next opponent. The Reds have also shown great form in the Premier League, grabbing 13 out of 15 possible points.

Brighton’s previous season exceeded expectations, with a sixth-place finish in the Premier League and qualification for the Europa League.

However, their European journey was cut short by Roma with a 1-4 aggregate defeat. This gives Brighton the opportunity to fully focus on their performance in the Premier League, where their performance is not on the level seen in the previous year.

The last nine rounds have been a mixed bag for Roberto De Zerbi’s team, with three wins, three draws, and three defeats. This puts them in eighth place in the standings, while the gap to the Europa League zone has already amounted to 11 points.

Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction, Odds

Pick: Liverpool to Win
Odds: -271 (Tonybet)

After 28 matches played in the 2023/24 Premier League season, Liverpool are in second place, level with Arsenal on point, trailing only on goal difference.

The Reds are under immense pressure to win the remaining games and improve their goal difference so that they do not miss out on the title if two or more teams end up with the same number of points.

I expect maximum motivation and a great performance from the Reds against Brighton. They are playing at Anfield and must do everything possible to bounce back after the dramatic loss against Manchester United.

Liverpool play more dominant at home than in away matches. Klopp’s team is able to create a powerful pressing and counter-pressing strategy with their favoured 4-3-3 formation, keeping the opposition out of their own half of the pitch.

This season, De Zerbi’s team has struggled to replicate the fluid, short-passing offensive play they displayed in the previous campaign. Opponents have learned to adjust their pressing to Brighton, and Liverpool may well take advantage of this.

Moreover, the Seagulls have big problems organizing their game in defence due to numerous injuries and constant squad shuffling. Especially in away games, they often fall short in matching their opponent’s intensity and fail when they try to implement a high defensive press.

At Anfield, Brighton may try to attack as usual with large forces by deploying up to 6 players in the offensive line. This could lead to a series of heavy counterattacks from Liverpool, who like to catch opponents with quick transitions from defence to offence.

However, if we look at the head-to-head record, things don’t look so bright – Liverpool managed to win only once against Brighton in the past eight games.

Nevertheless, I expect Liverpool to hit the ground running from the get-go and win this match. The championship title is at stake, and Liverpool are always favourites on home soil. In addition, both Mohamed Salah and Darwin Núñez will be playing, and I expect a fairy performance from this duo.

Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion Betting Tip

Pick: Over 3.5 Goals
Odds: -108 (Tonybet)

Not only have Brighton recently taken points from Liverpool on a regular basis, but they have also shown themselves to be excellent in attack. In the six previous head-to-head meetings, the Seagulls scored 12 times against the Reds (2.00 on average per game), a feat few teams in the Premier League can claim.

Given Alisson’s injury in the upcoming match, the Reds will also have difficulty keeping a clean sheet, so they will have to take risks and create numerous chances in attack. Based on this, a total of more than 3.5 goals seems like a plausible prediction.

Liverpool’s home performance has been nothing short of impressive, winning eight times in the last nine meetings, with at least three goals scored in all eight matches. Brighton’s away matches are also productive, and in seven out of eight recent ones, a total of over 2.5 goals were scored.

Given these patterns, I think that this match will also be filled with goal-scoring opportunities and excitement.
