Current form — Liverpool v. Brighton
The Reds are looking formidable
Liverpool have found a rich vein of form in recent weeks, and aim to keep their winning streak going. Jurgen Klopp’s side have really been enjoying their football in their previous 3 matches, which started off with a 2-3 win against Atletico Madrid. They went on to beat Manchester United by 0-5, before also getting the better of Preston in a 0-2 victory.
The Seagulls paddling along
The mood around Brighton is pretty low right now as a win has proven hard to come by in recent weeks. Graham Potter’s side have been a tad mediocre in their last 3 matches where a win has failed to come their way. Against Norwich, they gained a point in a 0-0 draw, before coming up short against Manchester City who ran out 1-4 winners. Lately, they managed to steal a point in a 2-2 with Leicester.
Just limiting an expected defeat might be the target for Brighton here. Siding with Liverpool at odds 1.25 is a no-brainer in the kind of form they are displaying.
