Brighton vs Burnley Predictions and Betting Tips

The AMEX Stadium is the stage for this Matchday eight opener as Brighton play hosts to Burnley. With just one win between both sides having featured in thirteen games altogether, both sides are currently looking to give their fans reasons to cheer this Friday.

With regards to their head-to-head record, both sides seem to be well on-par. In all of the twenty meetings between them, the half ended in stalemates, with the remaining half ending in 5 wins each for both sides.

Seagulls keen on getting the results their performance merits

If points were awarded through performances and not results, Brighton will certainly be up there with the top teams. Unfortunately, they haven't managed to pick up point in games which they've outplayed their opponents. The team is currently in 16th place and we believe, no doubt, they'd soon start racking those results their performances merit.

Potter and his troops absolutely balled at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in their most recent game but, once again, left without a single point. With 13 minutes of play gone, Spurs were awarded a penalty after Lallana clattered into Kane's back in the area. The Englishman stepped up to take the penalty, and do what he does best. 11 minutes into the second half, Lamptey controversially fired his side level. This set the stage for Bale to come on and win the points for his side with a well-placed header.

Another disappointing loss for the Clarets

The Clarets still haven't managed to get off this rough patch as they head to Brighton still in search of their first league win. They currently sit at the bottom of the log after six games played. Sean Dyche and his troops have struggled in all departments with just three goals scored and twelve goals conceded.

In their most recent game, they entertained Lampard's Blues- a team they failed to beat in both legs last season. Their unfortunate record against the Londoners continues as they were humbled 3-0 at the Turf Moor. Ziyech, Zouma, and Werner were on the scoresheet condemning the Clarets to their fifth league loss.

Brighton vs Burnley Prediction: 1-0

The Clarets haven't managed to get themselves up and running since the 2020/21 campaign commenced. As such, they find themselves at the bottom of the table with just one point from six games.

Brighton, on the other hand, is playing very well but have failed to pick up results in games. As such, we believe they're well worth backing to get all three points.
