Bournemouth v Brighton
📅
Kick Off: Saturday 23rd November at 15:00
🏆
Competition: Premier League
The high-flying Seagulls make the relatively short trip west to face Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday for what should prove to be a tough test for both teams. The Cherries have won their last three at home, but Brighton sit four points clear of their hosts in the Premier League table.
⭐ Bournemouth v Brighton Best Bets
Brighton have picked up four wins from their last six encounters with Bournemouth in the Premier League and currently sit four points and six places above the Cherries. Of those six meetings the Seagulls have been in front at the break or at the end of the match on six occasions, so you can see just why we’ve backed Brighton to win either half at the Vitality Stadium this weekend.

👕 Bournemouth v Brighton Predicted XI
🔍 Bournemouth v Brighton Players to Watch
🔴 Lewis Cook
Nobody has committed more fouls in a Bournemouth shirt this season than their combative midfielder Lewis Cook. Cook, who has featured in all 11 Premier League games for the Cherries has committed 24 fouls so far, that’s six more than his nearest teammates.
Cook, who has also been shown three yellow cards this season, clearly enjoys a tackle as he has won 18 of them this season which is the joint-highest for Bournemouth alongside defender Marcos Senesi.
🔵 Joël Veltman
Joel Veltman might have won more tackles than any other Brighton player this season (12) but the Dutchman is also the most fouled player in the Seagulls’ squad by far.
The 32-year-old defender has drawn 25 fouls in his ten Premier League starts this season, that’s an incredible 12 more fouls drawn than his nearest teammate Georginio Rutter (12) and nine more than Antoine Semenyo who tops Bournemouth’s list of most fouled players.
🔵 Danny Welbeck
Danny Welbeck is enjoying one of the best seasons of his illustrious career and we feel that it is a safe bet to back the former England international to hit the target at least once on Saturday.
Welbeck, 33, has had 31 shots so far this season, more than any other Brighton player by some distance. The Ex-Arsenal and Man Utd forward has seen 12 of those shots hit the target for a SoT ratio of 38.7% and six of those have ended up in the back of the net.

💻 Bournemouth v Brighton Form and Tactics
So far this season, Andoni Iraola has favoured a 4-2-3-1, and last time out against Brentford, Bournemouth achieved an xG of 2.6 which is their highest of the season so far but that didn’t stop them from losing the game 3-2. The Cherries have only enjoyed the majority of the possession in three games this season and two of those matches ended in defeat including their EFL Cup exit at the hands of West Ham.
Brighton boss Fabian Hurzeler has switched between 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, and 4-3-3 formations this season, going with the two strikers in four of the club’s last five fixtures. The Seagulls like to try and dominate the possession and have only given away the majority of the ball in six of their 14 matches across all competitions so far this season. In terms of xG, Brighton saved their best performance of the season for the 2-1 win over Manchester City in which the hosts had an xG of 2.3.
