Burnley vs Brighton Prediction, Odds, and Betting Tips

🏆 Burnley vs Brighton: Who Will Win?

Not many football fans and punters gave Burnley much hope of surviving one season in the Premier League, and so it has come to pass - unless some biblical miracle happens between now and the middle of May. They had a big game against Everton last Saturday, and a rookie mistake from their keeper cost them the match. Were it not for that, they might well have left Goodison Park with a valuable point.

Brighton, no disrespect to them, are a small team but they always seem to punch above their weight. Last season, they managed to finish in 6th place to book themselves a Europa League spot and, although they have not done as well this year, they are still doing well for a team of their stature - they are sitting six points adrift of Manchester United in 6th place. They took on Arsenal in their last match and were dispatched 3-0, but they are not the first team to have been taught a footballing lesson by the Gunners.

This will be a close match, especially since Burnley are playing at home and are fighting for their lives. I actually think it will finish all square, and my predicted scoreline for this match is 1-1.

💯 Burnley vs Brighton Match Odds

When these two teams played at the Amex Stadium on the 9th of December, the match also ended all square. Burnley, who have a good record against Brighton, were dominated throughout the match, but the Seagulls were profligate in front of goal. If you have 11 shots on target to your opponent's three you would hope to be winning the game. Wilson Odobert opened the scoring just before half-time, but a Simon Adingra header earned a draw for the home team.

All established and new UK betting sites will offer Premier League odds and markets because they know how popular it is among sports bettors. However, you should only want to bet at top-quality bookies where you can get the best bang for your buck. Thus, below I have provided you with the odds that three of the best UK bookmakers are currently offering for three popular football betting markets.

🏅 Burnley vs Brighton: Match Winner Odds

Since Brighton are sitting comfortably in mid-table and Burnley are in a fight for their Premier League lives, it will probably not come as much of a surprise to you to find out that the top bookies have Brighton as the favourites to win. However, their odds tell us that the bookies are not entirely convinced, and do see Burnley as having the potential to get something out of this match. Below you can see the match winner odds:

Team
Burnley	3.30	3.30	3.35	3.60	3.60
Draw	3.70	3.70	3.75	3.85	3.85
Brighton	1.98	1.98	2.05	1.93	1.94

⚽ Burnley vs Brighton: Both Teams To Score Odds

Sometimes the sports betting sites will be confident that both teams will find the back of the net, and this is one such occasion. As you know from the predicted score that I gave earlier, I also think that both teams will score in this game. You can find out why I think this in my betting tips section, but for now, just check out the BTTS odds that my favourite bookies are offering:

Team
Yes	1.49	1.49	1.50	1.52	1.58
No	2.45	2.45	2.40	2.25	2.32

🥅 Burnley vs Brighton: Over/Under 2.5 Goals Odds

The odds that are available for the over/under 2.5 goals market tell us that these five bookmakers feel that there will be over 2.5 goals scored in this match. They are also pretty certain that there will be under 3.5 goals, which tells us that they think the Seagulls will win this match with a 2-1 scoreline. This is a fun market to bet on as you can support both teams as they are attacking, and the over/under 2.5 goals odds can be seen below:

Team
Over 2.5	1.55	1.55	1.60	1.57	1.58
Under 2.5	2.27	2.27	2.30	2.23	2.25

1️⃣Burnley Update

Vincent Kompany's men have only registered a total of four wins all season, and they probably need five or six more wins to give themselves a good shot at avoiding relegation. You are probably thinking the same as what I am thinking - there is no way they will manage that feat. Their fans might as well enjoy their last six games in the Premier League and get ready for a hard slog in the Championship. They are averaging 1.00 goal per match while conceding 2.10 goals, so it is no wonder that they are going back to where they belong.

They are sitting in 18th place in the form guide with just seven points from the previous 30 that have been on offer. Below you can find their previous five EPL results:

Kompany has a number of players whom he will not be able to call upon for this big match against Brighton. Due to his small squad, he really cannot afford such injuries. You can see the missing players below:

2️⃣Brighton Update

Brighton are sitting in exactly mid-table as they have picked up 43 points from the 31 matches that they have played. They are definitely safe from relegation, so they can now concentrate on trying to finish as high up the table as they can. If they win a good chunk of their remaining fixtures and other results go their way then they might find themselves playing in the Europa Conference League next season.

The Seagulls are sitting in 13th place in the EPL form table, having picked up three wins, two draws, and five losses from their last ten matches. In the table below, you can find Brighton's five previous EPL results:

What type of injury list does Roberto de Zerbi have heading into this match against Burnley? Well, he is in a similar boat to Kompany as he has seven injuries to contend with. You can see who these are below:
