Brighton vs Burnley Preview and Team News
Brighton Team News
Fabian Hürzeler’s Brighton have dropped into the bottom half of the standings following a miserable run of form.
The Seagulls have lost three of their last six in the English top flight, and their inconsistency has damaged their hopes of mounting a European challenge. However, their home form has largely been impressive, with four wins and only one defeat in nine fixtures.
Brighton have scored 1.78 goals per game at the AMEX, compared to a lower average of 1.11 on the road.
Carlos Baleba is unavailable due to his AFCON participation, while Solly March and Adam Webster aren’t expected to return until early 2026.
Danny Welbeck could be recalled to the starting XI after scoring a team-high of seven Premier League goals.
Brighton predicted lineup vs Burnley (3-4-2-1): Verbruggen; Coppola, van Hecke, Dunk; Kadioglu, Ayari, Hinshelwood, De Cuyper; Gomez, Gruda; Welbeck.
Burnley Team News
Scott Parker’s Burnley remain locked in the relegation places, but plenty of positives can be drawn from their recent performances after they played out successive draws against Bournemouth and Everton.
Scoring goals has been a major issue for the Clarets this season, with just 1.06 netted per game from a low average of 1.05 xG. However, positives can be drawn from their defensive record: They’ve allowed an xGA of just 1.77 per outing, the lowest among clubs in the relegation places.
Their hopes of survival could hinge on Zian Flemming, who has scored a team-high of five goals in the Premier League.
Lyle Foster, Axel Tuanzebe, and Hannibal Mejbri are all away at AFCON. Meanwhile, Josh Cullen is expected to be out for a few weeks due to injury.
Burnley predicted lineup vs Brighton (3-4-3): Dubravka; Laurent, Humphreys, Ekdal; Walker, Ugochukwu, Luis, Pires; Edwards, Flemming, Larsen.
Brighton vs Burnley Prediction
- Pick: Burnley or Draw
- Odds: +150 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Brighton 1-2 Burnley
Brighton are too short to consider betting given their inconsistent level of performance. Despite losing just once at home this season, they were incredibly fortunate against Sunderland in their latest fixture at the AMEX.
Burnley have performed better than their points tally in December suggests, and they missed several clear chances to snatch a win against Everton last Saturday.
Defensively, they’ve been very solid in this 3-4-3 system, and Scott Parker’s side could get a win on the road that their performances have deserved this weekend. However, the safer play could be for the Draw or Burnley in the Double Chance market.
Brighton vs Burnley Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Both Teams to Score – Yes
- Odds: +200 (20Bet)
Brighton’s performances at both ends of the field ensure that BTTS – Yes is constantly a popular selection when they’re in action.
In addition to scoring 1.78 goals per home game, they’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in 78% of their matches at the AMEX this season.
Burnley have created no shortage of chances in recent weeks, racking up xGs of 1.82 and 1.25 in their last two outings. A bit of luck is required for them to finally score, but one effort could breathe new confidence into their offensive play.
