Why Draws Have Very High Odds

3y ago

Enduring a difficult start to the league campaign, Brighton find themselves floundering in the bottom-end of the standings with a measly 14 points on the board. In fact, they are currently flirting around the drop-zone, emerging as huge relegation candidates.

Perhaps, the Seagulls’ struggles can be attributed to their inability to prevent opposition teams from breaching them at the far post. Should Brighton fail to show some defensive resoluteness in this fixture, we could see Man City score a flurry of goals to pile on their miseries.

Manchester City vs Brighton Team News

Despite being slow off the blocks, Manchester City are still in with a shout at the Premier League title this term. Having been in complete shambles earlier in the campaign, they now seem to have regained their footing and are plotting a resurgence.

Currently on a six-game winning run across all competitions, the Citizens are slowly beginning to instill that fear factor in their foes. Also, confidence in sky-high in their camp, and there is simply no reason why this streak cannot last much longer.

As well as sweeping teams aside, Manchester City have been scoring goals for fun lately. Even without a recognized striker in the team, the Citizens are still very prolific in attack and are racking up goals in massive numbers.

They have hit the target in each of their previous six games, notching up 15 strikes in that time, whilst conceding only two. Last seen in league action last weekend, Guardiola’s men turned in a performance of the highest quality to see off Chelsea.

With the Blues failing to survive Man City’s early onslaught, they raced to a three-goal lead inside 34 minutes. Eventually, Chelsea grabbed a goal in the closing stages of the game, albeit a consolation, as the Citizens sealed all three points in the end.

Now, City will be looking to deliver a similar display in this fixture versus lowly Brighton, who are weathering through a very tough patch. The Seagulls are winless in their last eight matches, suffering defeats in three of those – a pretty embarrassing record.

Against a tricky Wolves side, Brighton managed to squeeze out a point in a six-game thriller at the Amex Stadium last time out. In the aftermath of the match, Potter praised his players for their outstanding display on the day. He will be hoping for more of the same from the Seagulls here.

Man City vs Brighton Predictions

A recent spate of good results has seen Manchester City suddenly emerge as huge title contenders, alongside Liverpool and cross-town rivals Manchester United. While the Citizens haven’t been as dominant in attack, they are making up for this on the defensive front.

City’s defensive prowess is clear for everyone to see. Surely, Brighton fans will not be looking forward to this game, knowing fully well they are no match for the opposition. We expect the hosts to clinch maximum points, while keeping a clean sheet in the process.
