Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

The season before, Brighton & Hove Albion's league statistics were 9 wins, 14 draws and 15 losses, results that produced 16th position in the Premier League. From these 38 matches they scored 40 goals and gave away 46. Appearing as the host team in the former season Brighton & Hove Albion generated 4-9-6 (win-draw-lost) with 22 goals and 22 conceded.

Brighton are returning here after visiting Burnley in a Premier League game and winning with a 2-1 scoreline. Neal Maupay and Alexis Mac Allister scored the goal(s). Shane Duffy, defender, was given a rating of 7.95/10 in that game, top of the team. Duffy won 12 of 16 duels. Manager G. Potter felt very clever after Alexis Mac Allister scored the winning goal against Burnley, having brought on that player as a substitute in the 76th minute.

Prior to that, an away loss at Arsenal.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Brighton & Hove Albion matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, two draws and one defeat (from five games).

The manager G. Potter will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Cardiff City in only two days.

In total they scored 63 and conceded 30 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 8 - drew 8 and lost 7 with 19/18 goals scored/conceded.

Watford won their last game, 3-2 versus Aston Villa played at home. Attacker Emmanuel Dennis got a player rating of 8.1 in the game. "Man of the match" Dennis scored one goal, served one assist and hit three key passes. Cucho Hernández came off the bench to score the winning goal in the match against Aston Villa last time out, making the manager F. Muñoz Llompart feel like a tactical genius.

Before that, Watford secured a home win against Swansea City with the score 2-0.

A new game in only two days for Watford, the Carabao Cup home match versus Crystal Palace. Busy days.
