Brighton vs. Liverpool Preview (What To Know Before Betting)
Brighton vs. Liverpool
Following their maiden point earned in European competition, Brighton & Hove Albion return to their Premier League obligations at the Amex Stadium this Sunday, hosting Liverpool, who are also vying for success in the Europa League.
The Seagulls, despite trailing 2-0, managed to stage a comeback and secure a 2-2 draw against Marseille in their midweek encounter. Meanwhile, Liverpool put an end to a challenging period by defeating Union SG with a 2-0 scoreline.
Recollections of Villa Park might have haunted the thoughts of dedicated Brighton supporters during Thursday night’s encounter. This followed their team’s humbling 6-1 defeat at the hands of Aston Villa. Brighton found themselves conceding goals in the 19th and 20th minutes at the Orange Velodrome, with Chancel Mbemba and Jordan Veretout on target.
Brighton vs. Liverpool
Newly-appointed Olympiens head coach Gennaro Gattuso appeared to be on the path to his first victory while at the helm of Marseille. However, as injuries started to mount for the home team during the second half, Roberto De Zerbi’s squad seized the opportunity. Pascal Gross managed to narrow the gap, and Joao Pedro’s expertly taken penalty secured an invaluable point for the Seagulls.
What to remember – Brighton vs. Liverpool
Both teams are expected to suffer from fatigue due to their recent Europa League engagements this weekend. However, Brighton might experience more pronounced exhaustion, especially considering their arduous journey back from Marseille. In contrast, Liverpool had the luxury of resting several key players on their home turf.
Throughout this season, goals have been a certainty whenever these two teams have taken the field. Despite Brighton securing two victories over Liverpool at the Amex Stadium earlier in 2023, the host’s significant defensive vulnerabilities are likely to allow the Reds to seek retribution.
