While Leicester dominated their head-to-head encounters with Brighton in the latter half of the previous decade, the trend has now shifted. The "Foxes" have failed to beat the "Seagulls" in their last four meetings, losing twice (1-2; 2-5).

Leicester

The Foxes ended their prolonged winless streak in the Premier League, which consisted of four losses and one draw. In their last match at King Power, they confidently defeated West Ham 3-1, which allowed them to pull 4 points clear of the relegation zone.

However, the team continues to struggle with defensive issues, having conceded 28 goals — the worst record among all teams except Southampton and Wolverhampton. In seven home matches, Leicester has only secured two wins, losing three times.

Brighton

Fabian Hürzeler’s team suffered a defeat in the latest round, losing 1-3 to Fulham away. Prior to that, they had shown good form, going three matches unbeaten (two wins and one draw).

Despite this, Brighton remains in 5th place in the league table but is now 3 points behind the Champions League spots. It’s worth noting that in their last eight league games, Brighton has suffered only two defeats, recording four wins and two draws.

Prediction

As expected, bookmakers favor the visitors in this match, offering odds of 1.74 for a Brighton victory. Leicester has been struggling, and much of their hope now lies in the arrival of their new manager, Ruud van Nistelrooy. We believe Brighton has the strength to secure a win in this game. Our pick: "Brighton to Win" with odds of 1.74.
