Brighton vs Leicester Predictions

Graham Potter’s Brighton host Leicester in a match they will be expecting to win. Brighton have started brightly again this season thanks to a good defence whilst a very unsettled Leicester have had a disastrous campaign so far with zero wins and are rooted to the bottom of the table.

Brighton Form

The Seagulls have once again started the season brightly after picking up three wins and a draw in their five matches so far. They have built this foundation on a solid defence who have not conceded many goals.

Brighton came away with a 2-0 win at West Ham and then a 3-0 away win at Forest Green in the Carabao Cup. A 1-0 home win against Leeds subsequently followed.

Their last fixture was a 2-1 away loss to Fulham. Alexis Mac Allister scored a second half penalty while an own goal by Lewis Dunk sunk Brighton in a game where counter-attacking football was dominant for both teams.

Midfielders Adam Lallana and Jackub Moder will sit out the match due to injury whilst young forward Jeremy Sarmiento is a doubt.

Leicester Form

Brandan Rodgers’ men have had a torrid time this season. Four losses and draw from their five fixtures place them firmly at the foot of the table. An unsettled team with no real investment in the team has been the architect of their current demise

Recent form includes a 2-1 home loss to Southampton and then a 1-0 away win at Stockport County in the Carabao Cup. These preceded a 2-1 loss at Stamford Bridge against Chelsea.

A 1-0 home loss against Manchester United was the last match played by the Foxes. Leicester were poor throughout the match and rarely posed a threat in the final third in a comfortable win for the visitors.
