Brighton & Hove Albion Preview

Brighton's recent form suggests they're hitting their stride, with an unbeaten streak of three games, including two wins against Chelsea, after a 7-0 defeat. They have a chance to secure a Champions League spot if they continue their strong performance. A win against Bournemouth on Tuesday would put them on par with the Cherries, although goal difference would still favor Bournemouth. 

This victory would also mark Brighton's third consecutive Premier League win since September 2023 when they beat Bournemouth. Kaoru Mitoma, Brighton's key player, has a history of success against Bournemouth, with four goals and one assist in four previous encounters.

AFC Bournemouth Preview

With Man City and Nottingham dropping points, Bournemouth had a golden chance to crack the top four.
