Brighton have all the tools to surprise Man City in this tough encounter

At the moment, Brighton stands in front of Manchester City in the Premier League title race. Their position is 10th in the league and they are still a long way from European qualification. Injuries have hindered their progress this season, but Brighton themselves have not been in their best form either. They would be a bit unsatisfied with the way things have gone for them this season. They shattered Arsenal’s Premier League dreams last season, and if they can do the same against Manchester City this time, it’ll be a huge boost for them.

Following their loss to Real Madrid, Manchester City haven’t looked the same. They won the FA Cup semifinal against Chelsea last month but were not convincing. The Premier League title is on the line, so the Cityzens will need to regroup their spirits and maintain their position. Given that they’ll be playing at Brighton, we can expect a tough match.

Kick-Off:

Friday, 26 April at 12:30 AM IST

Location- American Express Stadium

Form:

Brighton (in all competitions): W-L-D-W-D

Player to Watch

Joao Pedro (Brighton)

A big signing for Brighton in the summer, Joao Pedro has lived up to the expectations in some ways. His goal total has been eight and his assists have been two. With his versatility, Pedro can be a real threat to Man City, especially on transitions. If he receives support from the other end, he can be a real winner for the Seagulls.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Though Haaland has not been in good form lately, his presence is still enough to scare any defence. Haaland didn’t look his best against Real Madrid and would hope to regain his form against this tough opponent. Despite missing the last match, Haaland is expected to start this crucial match.

Match Facts

Match Prediction for Brighton vs Manchester City

This is a game where Manchester City are the strong favourite but you cannot take Brighton lightly either. The fact that Brighton haven’t been consistent this season has been the biggest roadblock for them this season, and their injuries haven’t helped either. We anticipate an easy victory for Manchester City here with the return of Haaland also expected.

Prediction: Brighton 0-2 Manchester City
