Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

Only two Premier League home games for Brighton & Hove Albion so far, yet both highs and lows with 1 win, 0 draws and 1 defeat.

Brighton & Hove Albion are returning here after visiting Brentford in a Premier League game and winning with a 1-0 scoreline. Leandro Trossard scored the goal(s). The forward Leandro Trossard won the honour of being "man of the match" for Brighton with a rating of 7.63/10. Trossard scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Ahead of that match, Brighton lost 0-2 at home to Everton.

This is expected to be a close game, with Brighton & Hove Albion perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Brighton & Hove Albion as a small favourite), we find eight games. Brighton & Hove Albion has won one of these, drawn three and lost four.

The match schedule is unforgiving for Brighton as they have a new game in only three days, a Carabao Cup match thankfully also at home. Swansea City are visiting.

Brighton & Hove Albion has scored 2 goals so far and conceded 2 goals from 2 home games. These are numbers from the league only.

Leicester City form and stats

Leicester City are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Premier League, having played 2 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 1 loss).

Leicester's last game was the home draw against Napoli (2-2). Drawing 2-2 against Napoli after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager B. Rodgers needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result. Harvey Barnes, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 7.45. Barnes scored one goal, served one assist and hit one key pass.

The game before that, in the Premier League, was lost at home, a 0-1 defeat against Manchester City.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Leicester City playing away and similar expectations, we found eight relevant matches. Results were three Leicester City wins, two draws and three defeats.

Leicester City have another fixture that requires travelling in just three nights, a Carabao Cup fixture versus Millwall. A grim timetable for the visiting team!

3 goals so far away for Leicester City, while their defence has allowed the opposition to score 5. All from 2 league matches away.

Head 2 Head

Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - two - seven (Brighton & Hove Albion wins - draws - Leicester City wins). As for goals, four matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), six had two or less.
