Brighton v Bournemouth
📅
Kick Off: Tuesday 25th February at 19:30
🏆
Competition: Premier League
A fascinating clash sees Brighton host Bournemouth on Tuesday, with both teams eager to impose their style in what promises to be a highly competitive encounter.
Brighton, riding a 3-game winning streak, will look to extend their momentum, while Bournemouth aim to bounce back from a disappointing defeat against Wolves as they continue their pursuit of a European spot.
⭐ Brighton v Bournemouth Best Bet
Bournemouth have developed a reputation as one of the most aggressive teams in the Premier League, particularly away from home. Their average of 13.7 fouls per game is the highest in the league, ranking them third for yellow cards received. This trend is even more pronounced on the road, where they accumulate an average of 3.08 yellow cards per game, picking up 3 or more cards in 9 of 13 away games this season.
Given Brighton’s ability to draw fouls, averaging 3.08 cards won per game from opponents, the likelihood of Bournemouth picking up multiple bookings remains high. In fact, every visiting team at the AmEx this season has collected at least 2 yellow cards, 8 eight of 12 visitors have received 3 or more.

As Bournemouth desperately seek a return to form after their setback against Wolves, one area they could look to exploit is their superiority from set-pieces. Bournemouth rank 4th in the league for corners won away from home, averaging 6+ corners in 8 of their 13 away fixtures.
Brighton, by contrast, have only surpassed this tally in 6 home games this season, with 5 of those coming against teams ranked in the top 6 for corners conceded on the road. Bournemouth have won the corner battle in the majority of their away fixtures, showcasing their ability to create opportunities from wide areas.
Bournemouth’s disciplinary record further strengthens this bet, they commit the most fouls in the league (13.7 per game) and rank third for total yellow cards received. They have picked up 3+ cards in 9 of their 13 away games, receiving more cards than their opponents in 8 of those matches.
Brighton, in contrast, rarely out-foul their opponents, having only picked up more cards than the opposition once in 12 home games this season.
👕 Brighton v Bournemouth Predicted XI
🔍 Chelsea v Bournemouth Players to Watch
🔴 Justin Kluivert
The Dutch playmaker has emerged as a key attacking force for Bournemouth, having already netted 12 goals this season. His involvement in front of goal is reflected in his shooting stats, averaging 2.07 shots per game. He has recorded at least 1 shot on target in 8 of his last 9 matches, including his previous 2 outings against Brighton.
🔴 Antoine Semenyo
Despite being a lethal attacking threat, Semenyo’s fiery temperament and defensive work rate have made him one of Bournemouth’s most aggressive players. He averages 1.75 fouls per game, committing multiple fouls in 10 of his last 15 starts.
In the reverse fixture against Brighton, he was particularly reckless, conceding 4 fouls. Given Brighton’s tricky right-sided attackers, who have drawn 16 fouls in their last 6 matches, Semenyo is highly likely to continue his cynical trend.

💻 Brighton v Bournemouth Form and Tactics
Brighton come into this fixture in high spirits after thrashing Southampton 4-0 in their previous match, with their aspirations for a European qualification spot firmly in sight. Despite some inconsistencies at home, they have reached 40 Premier League points quicker than in any season except 2022/23. Their resurgence follows a shocking 7-0 loss to Nottingham Forest, but they have since recovered with 3 straight wins in all competitions.
However, their home form remains shaky, with just 1 victory in their last 6 league games at the AmEx (D3, L2). Such home form could offer hope for Bournemouth, who are chasing their first-ever Champions League qualification spot.
Bournemouth’s recent form has been mixed, with 2 defeats in their last 4 games across all competitions, which follows a 12-match unbeaten run. Their 1-0 loss to Wolves on Saturday dented their European aspirations, particularly as they were reduced to 10 men for the first time in the league this season. The gap between them and Brighton has now shrunk to just 3 points, making this a crucial fixture for both sides.
Worryingly for Bournemouth, the last time they lost back-to-back league games was in November – against Brighton. However, their away form has been exceptional, as they remain unbeaten in their last 7 league games on the road (W5, D2). To highlight their attacking capability, they scored 20 goals in this period.
Despite their struggles at the AmEx in recent seasons, Bournemouth have found the net in 8 of their last 10 visits here (W2, D4, L4), suggesting they are more than capable of troubling Brighton’s defence.
