Brighton & Hove Albion are set to play

Bournemouth at the American Express Stadium on Sunday evening in the English Premier League. Brighton & Hove Albion come into this game on the back of a 3-2 loss to AEK Athens in the group stage of the Europa League. Goals from French full-back Djibril Sidibe, Serbian midfielder Mijat Gacinovic and Argentine attacker Ezequiel Ponce secured the win for AEK Athens. Brazilian attacker Joao Pedro scored the goals for Brighton & Hove Albion. Despite a pair of Joao Pedro penalties - which were inexplicably only awarded following a VAR review on both occasions - Brighton were given a harsh welcome to life in the Europa League by AEK Athens, who left the South Coast of England with three points in the bag. They currently sit fifth in the standings after four victories from five games. Meanwhile, Bournemouth drew 0-0 against Chelsea in their most recent league game. They currently occupy the 15th position in the league table. For this encounter, I am expecting a win for the home side by some margin for the following reasons:

Firstly. Roberto De Zerbi will expect a swift response from his Brighton side as they take on Bournemouth, who are searching for their first win. Two stellar victories in the Premier League with a 3-1 scoreline on either side of the international break have propelled the Seagulls to new heights. The win at Old Trafford against Manchester United filled them with confidence, only for a rude awakening of European football in midweek. De Zerbi will quickly want his side to put that game aside and re-focus on matters in the Premier League. Not even Manchester City or a free-scoring Tottenham Hotspur can match Brighton's league-high tally of 15 goals so far this term.

Secondly. Andoni Iraola, who came with a glowing reputation from La Liga to the Premier League for his tactical nous and adapting modern football methods, is yet to bag his first league win. Bournemouth did trump over Swansea City in the EFL Cup. But without a victory in the top division, the pressure continues to mount on the Cherries manager. As one of five teams still without a maximum points haul in the 2023-24 Premier League; along with newly-promoted trio Burnley, Sheffield United, Luton Town and Everton, Bournemouth are once again fighting at the wrong end of the table.

Brighton & Hove Albion have been the talk of the town for some time now, and have once again enjoyed a bright start to their league campaign. And, with Brighton's scintillating play in attack set to prevail, I expect them to win Bournemouth by at least a two-goals margin

布莱顿和霍夫阿尔比恩准备比赛

伯恩茅斯周日晚上在美国运通体育场的英超联赛。布莱顿和霍夫阿尔比恩是在欧联杯小组赛中以3比2输给雅典AEK的背景下进入本场比赛的。法国后卫西迪贝、塞尔维亚中场加西诺维奇和阿根廷前锋庞塞的进球确保了雅典AEK的胜利。巴西攻击手若昂·佩德罗为布莱顿和霍夫进球。尽管有两个佩德罗的点球——这两个点球都是在VAR判罚后才被判罚的——布莱顿还是受到了雅典AEK的严厉欢迎，他们带着三分离开了英格兰南部海岸。在五场比赛中取得四场胜利后，他们目前排名第五。与此同时，伯恩茅斯在最近的联赛中0-0战平了切尔西。他们目前在联赛中排名第15位。对于这场比赛，我预计主队会以一定的优势获胜，原因如下:

首先。罗伯托·德泽比希望他的布莱顿队在对阵正在寻求首胜的伯恩茅斯时能迅速做出反应。在国际比赛日的两场比赛中，以3:1的比分取得了两场精彩的胜利，这将海鸥推向了新的高度。在老特拉福德对曼联的胜利让他们充满了信心，只是在周中欧洲足球的一个粗鲁的觉醒。德泽比很快就会希望他的球队把这场比赛放在一边，重新把注意力放在英超联赛上。即使是曼城或者自由进球的托特纳姆热刺也无法与本赛季迄今为止布莱顿的15球联赛最高纪录相提并论。

其次。安多尼·伊奥拉，从西甲到英超都以他的战术智慧和对现代足球方法的适应而名声显赫，但他还没有拿到他的第一个联赛冠军。伯恩茅斯在联赛杯中战胜了斯旺西城。但是没有在顶级联赛中取得胜利，樱桃主帅的压力继续增加。作为2023-24赛季英超联赛中五支没有拿到满分的球队之一;与新升班马伯恩利、谢菲尔德联队、卢顿城和埃弗顿一起，伯恩茅斯再次在积分榜的另一端战斗。

布莱顿和霍夫阿尔比恩已经成为人们谈论的话题有一段时间了，他们在联赛中又一次迎来了一个光明的开端。而且，随着布莱顿在进攻方面的出色发挥，我预计他们将以至少两球的优势战胜伯恩茅斯
