Premier League, Saturday, 02/11/2024 at 4:00 pm
Saturday afternoon – and we have a top game in the Premier League, that’s for sure. At least an extended one.
The Reds are hosting the Seagulls and want to keep pace with the champions and current league leaders Manchester City. The guests, on the other hand, also want to get to the top.
My Liverpool Brighton betting tip reveals who will come out on top in the end and which bookmakers offer the best odds.
Hardly anyone, myself included, would have thought that the transition from Jürgen Klopp to Arne Slot would be as smooth as it has been so far.
In the Champions League, the team has notched up three wins, and in the league, the Reds are also among the frontrunners.
Seven wins from nine league games (1W, 1D) is an excellent return even at this early stage. One more win and the Dutchman will be the coach with the most wins in the first ten games.
And they play with tremendous composure. The Reds have only been behind for 75 minutes so far. Only Arsenal have been behind less often (41 minutes).
Now it’s against Fabian Hürzeler’s Seagulls. The former St. Pauli coach is also picking up where his predecessor left off.
The Seagulls have only lost once so far (4S, 4U), and they are particularly efficient in offense.
With an xG value of 13.2, they have scored 16 goals. Only Leicester City (13 goals, 9.1 xG) and Wolves (12 goals, 8.9 xG) have scored more goals than statistically expected.
But will they perform again in practice? At least at the bookmaker Tipwin, the odds for the Liverpool Brighton tip are around 1.50 if the guests score at least once. Optimism looks different.
For the home side, however, the important phase of the season is now approaching, in which, as we know, the league cannot be won but it can be lost.
Traditionally, however, November suits them well. Since 2015, the Reds have not lost a home game in this month. They have won 12 of the 13 games.
Interestingly, the Seagulls are in a similarly good form. They have only lost two of their last 11 games (3W, 6L).
So if they manage to get at least a point, NEO.bet is offering odds of just over 2.80.
In my opinion, this is partly due to the Seagulls’ poor away record. They have only won four of their last 21 Premier League away games (7W, 10L).
However, they did manage to win their last away game at Newcastle United 1-0. For the first time since August/September 2023, two consecutive away wins are now possible.
Theoretically, the omens are good. After all, the Reds faced a team twice in a row back in December 2021.
They lost 1-0 to Leicester City in the league after drawing in the cup. As we know, Liverpool and Brighton already faced each other in the EFL Cup on Wednesday.
I wouldn’t say there’s a clear favorite here, even though the home side are better quality, of course. The Reds’ 3-2 win on Wednesday showed just how close it can be.
It is also interesting to note that the Seagulls have scored the first goal in each of their last four league games, which suggests an open game.
Therefore, my Liverpool Brighton betting tip is: The Reds don’t lose and both teams score!
