Before our Bournemouth vs Brighton preview and soccer forecast, the away side picked up a huge win against West Brom which will have done their belief the world of good. After some good performances, three points was a must.

Bournemouth, meanwhile, have had an absolutely dreadful start to the season. Four games have resulted in four losses for the Cherries, who sit in 19th place in the league table, saved only by rock-bottom Crystal Palace having the same terrible record - that lost Frank de Boer his job.

Our Bournemouth vs Brighton predictions suggest that the away side should be able to ride their confidence and kick a weak Bournemouth while they’re down, making the football tip of a visiting win very tempting. William Hill have the newly promoted side at very long odds for three points.

Despite signing Jermain Defoe during the summer transfer window from Sunderland, the Cherries have been struggling offensively. They’ve found the back of the net just once in their opening fixtures, with West Brom, Watford and Arsenal all escaping from them unscathed.

Brighton, meanwhile, have taken four points from their last available six in the Premier League. Chris Hughton’s men are playing well, with this the perfect opportunity to play a struggling Bournemouth.

Bournemouth vs Brighton Prediction and Betting Advice

This Friday is a chance to get firing on all cylinders, with the Seagulls only able to find the back of the net just three across their opening four top-flight fixtures. Therefore, there is good value to be found in terms of the odds for both teams finding the back of the net.

Those three goals all came in a recent 3-1 win over West Brom at the Amex, with Pascal Gross scoring twice and Tomer Hemed popping up with the final strike. Both players will be key to the visitors’ cause again this week. Given that the away side have some weaknesses at the back, however, a clean sheet isn’t likely either.

Bournemouth could only hold out for six minutes without conceding against Arsenal, with the Cherries appearing to be a good team for anybody with low confidence or talent up top to be facing. At the Vitality last season, it was a bit of a fortress, but that hasn’t happened thus far.

The only positive that Eddie Howe can truly take from his opening games in the Premier League is the fact that Manchester City needed until stoppage time to find a breakthrough, with Raheem Sterling steering home a finish very late on indeed, robbing Bournemouth of something to build upon.

Our Bournemouth vs Brighton picks point towards another difficult evening for the home side, who are rapidly finding themselves put under pressure. That pressure might prove to be too much, and Brighton will be keen to put as many points as possible on the board early on in the battle against relegation.
