Brighton v Bournemouth

Brighton vs Bournemouth Preview

Brighton collected a second win on the trot in the Premier League on Saturday afternoon when The Seagulls inflicted a heavy 4-0 win away from home upon a poor and beleaguered Southampton outfit at St Mary's Stadium, which helped lift Brighton up into ninth place in the table and just three points behind fifth placed Bournemouth.

Bournemouth slipped to a second home defeat on the trot at the Vitality Stadium on Saturday when The Cherries suffered an unexpected 1-0 loss to lowly Wolves but nevertheless, the south coast visitors occupy fifth place ahead of this important clash at the AMEX Stadium on Tuesday night.

Brighton's recent success in the English top flight has been sporadic rather than a regular occurrence as Fabian Hürzeler's side have registered just four wins from their previous 14 matches overall in the Premier League which includes previous wins against the likes of Ipswich Town, Manchester United and Chelsea respectively.

Aside from the 3-0 home win against Chelsea, the other three victories within this period were collected on their travels while results on home soil at their AMEX Stadium have seen Brighton struggle to put a winning streak together as the bigger picture shows The Seagulls have managed to capture just five wins from their last 17 home games in the top flight.

Bournemouth may be happy to be on the road for Tuesday night's clash with Brighton as the visitors have lost their last two home games on the trot in the Premier League, slipping to losses at the hands of Liverpool and Wolves respectively.

Nevertheless, Andoni Iraola has worked wonders with the south coast club as The Cherries not only occupy fifth place in the Premier League standings but they have been dealt just two defeats within their last 14 matches overall.

Within these 14 matches, Bournemouth have collected eight wins in the process, five of which have been achieved away from home with important victories gained at the likes of Wolves, Ipswich Town, Manchester United, Newcastle United and Southampton respectively.

The Cherries bring an impressive seven-game unbeaten sequence on their travels into this upcoming clash at the AMEX Stadium and having picked up five wins along the way, Ando Iraola's side will still fancy their chances of picking up a result in this south coast encounter on Tuesday night.

Brighton v Bournemouth Verdict

Both Brighton and Bournemouth have enjoyed successful Premier League campaigns so far this season but Bournemouth have perhaps produced more consistent performances overall this term, especially away from home where The Cherries have excelled in recent times.

Indeed, Bournemouth are ranked third in terms of away form in the last eight games in the Premier League which gives the visitors a great chance of collecting a valuable three-point haul here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Bournemouth win @ 2.90
