Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

The story so far for Brighton & Hove Albion at their home stadium (The American Express Community Stadium) is 6 wins, 4 draws and 6 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Brighton & Hove Albion with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Millwall game, 30 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Brighton & Hove Albion are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at The American Express Community Stadium, having lost their two previous games here.

Brighton & Hove Albion's previous game was also a home match, the defeat 0-5 versus AFC Bournemouth. Prior to that was the away defeat visiting Manchester City (0-1).

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Brighton & Hove Albion have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found four games) they have won 3 times, drawn 0 and lost 1.

The manager C. Hughton will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Wolverhampton Wanderers in only four days.

Brighton & Hove Albion has scored 17 goals at home this season, in 16 matches. 21 goals have been conceded.

Cardiff City form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Cardiff City, who have the fewest scored goals (9) away in Premier League, so far with only 8 points returning home. The records show 2-2-12 (win-draw-lose). Recent form does not give Cardiff City much hope, as the visitors have lost three games in a row. Brighton & Hove Albion will be a tough nut to crack. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Cardiff City's last three away games as they have all been lost.

Cardiff City play their second straight away game, having lost the previous one 0-2 to Burnley. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Manchester City wasn't a success with a 0-2 loss.

Cardiff City are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 14 wins, 7 draws and 20 defeats. From a total of 41 matches.

The visitors have scored 9 goals from 16 away games, an average of less than one per game. In the opposite end, Cardiff City have conceded 30 goals in their away games.

Head 2 Head

Cardiff City - Brighton & Hove Albion 2-1 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Brighton & Hove Albion won 2 games, 6 matches ended with a draw and Cardiff City has 2 wins.
