Brighton currently find themselves in tenth place in the Premier League, six points off the UEFA Conference League qualification spot. The hosts did not feature in the weekend’s Premier League fixtures due to the FA Cup commitments of other sides; therefore, Roberto De Zerbi’s men will be fully rested coming into this clash.
Man City will fancy their chances of retaining the Premier League title in May, with Pep Guardiola’s side sitting just one point behind both Arsenal and Liverpool with a game in hand. Both of their title-chasing rivals picked up three points in the league at the weekend, placing even more pressure on the visitors’ trip to Brighton.

⚔️ Brighton v Man City Head-to-Head
The pair met at the Etihad Stadium in October with Guardiola’s men winning 2-1.
Man City caused plenty of problems for Brighton in that clash, Guardiola’s side registered six shots on target, with Erling Haaland and Julian Alvarez getting their names on the scoresheet.
However, despite Man City’s consistently dominant performances at the Etihad, Brighton proved to be a tough match for the title holders, causing real danger going forward. Ansu Fati was the only Brighton player to find the net; however, De Zerbi’s side could have scored more, with Kaoru Mitoma missing two big chances.
Both sides contributed to a feisty clash, resulting in the referee brandishing plenty of cards, with Man City accumulating five bookings and Brighton amassing two.
📊 Brighton Form and Stats
Brighton have lacked consistency at home in 2024, winning just two of their five home league fixtures since the turn of the year. The hosts’ last outing on home soil saw the Seagulls lose 3-0 against title contenders Arsenal.
There has been plenty of action at both ends across Brighton’s home fixtures this season, particularly in recent matches, with both teams scoring in seven of Brighton’s last ten home league outings. The hosts have looked vulnerable at the back in recent home league games, conceding an average of 1 goal per game across their last five at the Amex.
In 2024, the hosts have struggled to keep on the correct side of the referee across their five home league fixtures, accumulating an average of 2 cards per game.
📊 Man City Form and Stats
As expected, Guardiola’s side have been consistent when playing away from home this season, and this has been apparent since the beginning of the year, with Man City remaining unbeaten across their five away matches.
Man City’s recent away league matches have seen plenty of goals at both ends, with both sides scoring in seven of the visitors’ last ten away trips. The visitors have excelled going forward on the road this season, failing to score in just two of their f15 away league fixtures; however, they have let things slip at the back on numerous occasions, keeping just three clean sheets.
💰 Brighton v Man City Best Bets
Following the competitive contest between the pair earlier this season, we expect another meeting packed with goals and cards here.
Both teams to score at 1.70 on bet365 is our Best Bet here. Both sides have demonstrated their attacking capabilities this season, while recent form suggests neither side are close to perfect defensively.
Strong value can also be found backing over 1.5 Brighton cards at 1.44 on Paddy Power. Brighton were on the receiving end of two cards when the sides met in October, and with the disciplinary record of De Zerbi’s side in recent weeks, we expect the hosts to amass a minimum of two in a feisty clash on the South Coast.
It is worth noting that Jarred Gillett, who has produced an average of 4.67 cards per game across his last six Premier League matches, has been selected to referee this fixture.
