📈 Brighton v Man City Form & Tactics
I think Brighton have been really unlucky at the start of this season, they have built a reputation over the last few seasons of starting really strongly and then teetering off a little in the second half of the campaign but that isn’t quite playing out yet.
Fabian Hurzeler’s side conceded with the last kick of the game against Fulham in their opening game of the season and then somehow managed not to score against Everton at the Hill Dickinson stadium, despite registering an xG of 2.43 and being awarded a penalty in the game.
Brighton’s games at the Amex were often exciting last season, and the Seagulls avoided defeat in 16 of their 19 games in front of the home crowd, so this could prove to be a really awkward task for Manchester City. Brighton ran out 2-1 winners in this fixture last season and also held Manchester City to a 2-2 draw when the sides clashed at the Etihad.
Manchester City need a reaction following their disappointing performance against Tottenham last time out which was a game they lost 2-0. Maybe it is a bit unfair to criticise Pep Guardiola’s side for their performance as Tottenham nullified them expertly through Thomas Frank’s tactical nous.
City don’t have the best record at the Amex when looking over recent Premier League visits. Brighton have avoided defeat against the Cityzens in three of the last five head-to-head meetings that have taken place at the Amex, including running out 2-1 winners in this fixture last season.
Manchester City struggled a little on the road last year when compared to their other dominant campaigns in the Premier League. They only won eight of their 19 away games, conceding 21 goals across these games. It is also notable that Manchester City only scored 29 goals across these games, a big drop off from their scoring power at the Etihad (43 - 2.26 per game).
