The Seagulls continue their streak of unsuccessful matches in the Premier League. Brighton played a very principled game against West Brom this week and returned home empty-handed, losing 0:1 to the Blackbirds. This is the second in a row defeat of the team of Graham Potter in the championship of England and the fourth match in a row that the “seagulls” could not win. In previous rounds Brighton lost to Crystal Palace (1:2) and also ended in a draw with Aston Villa (0:0) and Burnley (0:0). It is not surprising that after such an unsuccessful performance, Graham Potter’s wards practically got involved in the struggle for registration in the Premier League. At the moment, Brighton is 16th in the championship standings and is ahead of 18th Fulham by only three points. The Dacha players, however, played more for the match, so a victory in the next meeting with Leicester would be very useful. It cannot be said that Brighton plays poorly at home, but it is difficult to call it a success either. For 13 home matches the “seagulls” managed to beat only Tottenham (1:0). The team ended seven more matches in a draw and lost in five cases. Twelve home goals is one of the lowest scores in the current championship in England. Forward Aaron Connolly may miss the game due to minor injury. Defenders Adam Webster and Tariq Lampty, as well as midfielder Sulli March, will definitely not play due to injuries.
Borussia started the season quite solidly and for a long time have shown their intention to take away the championship title from Bayern. However, at a distance the “bumblebees” made several serious mistakes and in an attempt to stabilize the situation the leadership decided to dismiss Lucien Favre, leaving the Swiss assistant in the person of Edin Terzich to lead the team. Recently, Borussia officially announced the signing of a contract with Marco Rose, who has not been unsuccessful in recent years with Borussia M?nchengladbach, but the new coach will not arrive in Dortmund until the end of the season. In the meantime, the “bumblebees” are trying to get in shape and get involved in the struggle for a ticket to the Champions League, it hardly makes sense to count on more. So far, Borussia is fifth in the table with 39 points in the asset, but from the fourth Eintracht Frankfurt is three points behind, which is certainly not a serious handicap. In the last round the bumblebees beat Arminia with a score of 3:0 at home, but the fight turned out to be quite difficult. All three balls flew into the opponent’s goal in the second half. This week Borussia has issued a ticket to the semi-finals of the German Cup. In the away match against Borussia from M?nchengladbach one goal was enough for Jadon Sancho. The 1:0 victory became for Borussia the fourth in a row in all tournaments. Gradually the bumblebees are getting out of the crisis.
