Match Preview – 17.30 Kick-Off at Falmer Stadium, Falmer

Brighton have already secured the historic promotion to the Premier League and have little to play for, even though finishing ahead of Newcastle United would be nice. Bristol City showed brilliant form lately and 10 points from the last four matches made sure they stay in the Championship. Free of relegation troubles, Bristol City can play open football at Brighton, and they were involved in high scoring affairs anyway lately, especially the 3-2 win over Barnsley.

Brighton vs Bristol City Predictions

Brighton are naturally the favourites but the odds are a bit low for a team that doesn't really need to win and it is more logical to expect a high scoring game between two teams who have fulfilled their ambitions. Brighton are the second highest scoring home team in the league with 46 goals in 22 matches. Bristol City were mostly entertaining, especially recently, with a total of 124 goals scored in their 44 fixtures. They are very likely to play attractively with nothing to lose and the odds on over 2.5 goals are quite generous at 1.61. Both teams to score is another lucrative option at the same odds.
