Brighton – Burnley: a crucial game for the bottom of the table 
Brighton host Burnley on Saturday at the Amex Stadium in very different situations. The Seagulls need to halt a winless run. Burnley have everything on the line in the fight to stay in the Premier League.
Brighton: time to kick-start the form 
Brighton came away from a frustrating draw with West Ham. They created chances but failed to finish. Points slipped again. The winless run is starting to bite.
Fabian Hürzeler’s side have been shipping more goals lately after a long spell of solidity. The attacking edge is blunted too — not many finishes have found the net in recent matches.
At home, Brighton are still tough to beat. They’ve lost only once at the Amex this season, although recent home games have ended in draws.
Burnley: survival alarm bells 
Burnley are in a nasty patch. Beaten by Newcastle last time out, the Clarets are stuck in the relegation zone and have lacked results for weeks.
A few draws aren’t hiding the defensive problems. They’ve conceded too many goals. The gap to safety is small on paper, but the current form is worrying.
On the road, Burnley struggle. Away trips often end in defeats. Their lack of backbone away from home is a major handicap.
Probable line-ups
Brighton:
Verbruggen ; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Kadioglu ; Ayari, Hinshelwood ; Gruda, Gomez, De Cuyper ; Welbeck
Burnley:
Dubravka ; Laurent, Ekdal, Humphreys ; Walker, Ugochukwu, Luis, Pires ; Edwards, Broja, Tchaouna
What to take away
- Brighton are running several games without a win.
- Burnley are in serious trouble in the table.
- The Clarets struggle on their travels.
- Both teams show defensive frailties.
Prediction Brighton vs Burnley
Both teams to score
Burnley need points and will push forward, leaving gaps at the back. Brighton, even with absences, should create chances at the Amex. A game with goals at both ends looks likely.
First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds are analyses, nothing more. We give an opinion, a snapshot. Not a guarantee. Sport is unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole thing flips.
- Let’s be blunt: there’s no bet without risk. Even when something seems “obvious”, it often isn’t. Yes, that means you can lose. It will happen at some point.
- Keep it sensible. Stake small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And don’t chase losses — that never ends well.
- Betting should stay a hobby, not a job or income source. If it’s taking over, making you anxious or causing stress, stop and get help. There are organisations for that.
- In the end, the responsibility is yours. Reading our content means you accept the risk exists and won’t disappear, even with the best analysis.
- Important reminder: betting is forbidden to minors and must follow your country’s laws. Gambling can spiral (loss of money, family tensions, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No promises from us
Our tips aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. In plain terms: you can’t use them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Facts change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. Between then and kick-off, a lineup can change, a player gets injured, the weather turns nasty… and the analysis can be out of date quickly. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before betting, check that gambling is legal where you are. If it isn’t, that’s on you, not us.
