- Both teams scored in 3 of Liverpool’s last 5 games and 1 of Brighton’s.
- Over 2.5 goals landed in 4 of Liverpool’s last 5 and 4 of Brighton’s.
- Liverpool kept 1 clean sheet in their last 5. Brighton kept 4.
- Liverpool sit 5th on 12 points (3 wins, 3 draws, 1 loss). Brighton sit 3rd on 16 points (5 wins, 1 draw, 1 loss).
Four of Liverpool’s last five games went over 2.5 goals, and they conceded three to Villarreal in midweek. Brighton have kept four clean sheets in their last five, but Liverpool average 2.6 goals a game across their last five, so we expect both defences to give up two.
Liverpool: Liverpool are without Jeremie Frimpong (hamstring), Conor Bradley (knee), Hugo Ekitike (Achilles), Giovanni Leoni and Vitezslav Jaros. Dominik Szoboszlai (hamstring) and Victor Munoz (knee) are doubts. Alexander Isak and Ryan Gravenberch are available. Losing Frimpong and Bradley leaves Liverpool short in defence, which is why we have Brighton scoring twice.
Brighton: Brighton are without Evan Ferguson, Stefanos Tzimas, Kaoru Mitoma, Yankuba Minteh and Zadok Yohanna. Mats Wieffer, Pascal Struijk and Femi Azeez are doubts. Jack Hinshelwood and Lewis Dunk are fit. With Struijk a doubt, Brighton may struggle to keep Isak quiet.
- Charalampos Kostoulas anytime goalscorer @ $3.00: Kostoulas has three league goals and two assists for Brighton and is fit.
- Alexander Isak anytime goalscorer @ $2.45: Isak is Liverpool’s top league scorer with five goals and scored the winner at Brentford.
