Before Betting On Bournemouth vs Brighton
Bournemouth have enjoyed an excellent season this term, despite being among the favorites to suffer relegation to the Championship. The Cherries come into this round of matches sitting in the top half of the standings, and a victory on Sunday could see them end the round as high as eighth. The home team got their form back on track in midweek with a fine 1-0 success on the road against Wolves.
Brighton’s form has dropped off considerably compared to last term, and it would be achievement if they are able to finish the season in the top half of the standings. The Seagulls have lost ten of their 32 matches this term, and they have gone four without a victory. That run of form has seen them drop to eleventh in the standings.
However, Brighton holds the advantage based on previous meetings between the sides after winning each of the last three. That includes a 2-0 success in this exact fixture last term. But, they haven’t recorded back-to-back away victories against the Cherries since 1932.
An interesting trend to consider this weekend is the fact that both sides have a poor record in matches played on a Sunday. The Cherries have lost 67.5% of their matches, which is the worst in the top-flight of sides that have played at least ten fixtures. Meanwhile, Brighton have lost three of their last five matches that have been played on a Sunday.
