On Saturday, at 20:00, Brighton and Manchester City end the Premier League football day, with an interesting match scheduled at AmEx Stadium. The guests have a odds of 1.33 to prevail, in front of a team that has not impressed at all lately. Izqueirdo and Alzate can’t play from Brighton, while Pep Guardiola is without Sergio Aguero’s services.
Manchester City is in 2nd place in the Premier League (goal average 86-34), with 69 points, 9 points ahead of Chelsea and no less than 13 points behind champions Liverpool. Thus, the “citizens” can no longer lose the second place, but they have an oscillating form, with three victories and two failures in the last five stages. Although he has a brilliant team, Guardiola has not been able to keep up with the leader, but he can make a difference in front of a team like Brighton.
The “seagulls” are on the 15th place (goal difference 36-47) and have almost solved the problems from demotion. With only one victory in the last four stages, Brighton has 36 points, 9 more than Aston Villa, the first team below the relegation line. Thus, the white-blues need only one more success to be safe! But Graham Potter’s band would be content with a draw in front of the “citizens”, who will authoritatively dominate the hostilities.
Last season, Brighton lost to Liverpool (1-3), after a big victory with Norwich (1-0). Manchester City comes after a 5-0 win over Newcastle, who forgot the defeat suffered by Southampton (1-0), away. Given the direct history between the two bands, it would be normal for Sterling, Mahrez and Jesus to impose themselves easily on the go. It will be interesting to see if the “seagulls” manage to score in Ederson’s goal.
Brighton: Ryan – Lamptey, Webster, Dunk, Burn – Bissouma, Stephens, Allister – Mooy, Trossard – Maupay
Coach: Graham Potter
Man. City: Ederson– Walker, Stones, Laporte, Mendy – De Bruyne, Rodrigo, Gundogan – Foden, Jesus, Sterling
Coach: Pep Guardiola
-Manchester City have won the last 6 direct duels with Brighton, 4 of them at zero;
-In the last 4 matches played by City, only one team scored, so the “GG” bet was a loser;

-Manchester City has 9 victories in 17 foreign matches this season;
-Brighton has 5 draws in the last 10 stages of the championship;
