- Competition: Premier League
- Date: Tuesday, 25th February, 2025
- Kickoff: 19:30 UK / 20:30 CET
- Venue: Amex Stadium (Brighton)
Brighton proved itself to be one of the more stable teams in the Premier League in recent seasons. This year, they had their ups and downs, but the popular Seagulls are very close to securing Europe again. They are in 9th place with 40 points, but only three away from European spots and four away from the Champions League spots! So, with a good mini-run, we could see them in the top four places in the English top-flight division. The Seagulls are currently on a three-game winning streak, and one of those wins was in the FA Cup against Chelsea in the 1/16 Finals. It is fair to say that they are currently in a very good spot. After the Bournemouth game, they will face off against Newcastle in the FA Cup 1/8 Finals.
Bournemouth are playing a really good season, one of the best ones in the club's history, at least for now. The Cherries are sitting in 5th place with 43 points, only a point away from the fourth-placed Manchester City, although with a game played more. Like Brighton, they also secured the FA Cup 1/8 Finals after beating Everton in the previous round. After the Brighton game, they will face off against struggling Wolves to secure a historic FA Cup Quarterfinals.
Brighton vs Bournemouth pick: Over 2.5 goals
Brighton are in very good form, winning three in a row while being fantastic offensively. They scored a total of nine goals in three games against Southampton and Chelsea (twice). Mostly because of a good offense, they were over 2.5 goals in all three games. Additionally, the Seagulls were over 2.5 goals in 65% of their PL games and are among the best teams for this bet in the league.
Bournemouth, on the other hand, have been fantastic for this bet away from home, with ten of their 13 PL games finishing with three or more goals. They are really dangerous away from home as they managed to score two or more goals in nine consecutrive games.
Moreover, we saw three or more goals in the previous three h2h games. Considering the trend in the previous h2h games and all the above, an over 2.5 goals bet seems like the best option for this Premier League tie.

Bournemouth team news
recieving a red card in the previous game against Wolves. He has started in 100% of their PL games, and his absence will be a massive factor, especially with three more defenders out due to injuries - Marcos Senesi, Juliar Araujo, and Adam Smith.
Besides those defenders, Enes Unal will also miss the game as he has to undergo knee surgery and will be out for a long time.
