Manchester City and Brighton go head-to-head. Prediction, 15.03.25

Both teams want to achieve a Champions League place

Published on 11.03.2025 12:00.

The reigning English champions are still in danger of missing out on a top 4 place in the table. However, it is quite possible that 5th place will be enough for the Champions League this season. However, even this place is not safe for City, because in 5th place they are only 3 points ahead of 9th-placed Bournemouth. A defeat against Brighton should therefore not be allowed under any circumstances. They were already beaten by Nottingham on the last matchday. With the Seagulls, however, they now have the next in-form team in front of them. Fabian Hürzeler's team have won four games in a row recently and have thus fought their way up to 7th place. Another 3 points would catapult them past City into 5th place.

Manchester City are slowly but surely facing disaster

The reigning English champions have had no real chance of defending their title for weeks and are slowly but surely threatening to miss out on the Champions League places. After the 1:0 defeat against Nottingham Forest on the last matchday, they have fallen out of the top 4. Although England have a good chance of finishing 5th in next year's Champions League, they are also in danger of losing this position. The lead over 9th-placed Bournemouth is only 3 points and with 2 defeats from the last 3 games, they are anything but in top form. City have already suffered 9 defeats this season and have conceded 38 goals in 28 games. They have won 8 of 13 games at home, but most recently suffered a 2-0 defeat against Liverpool FC.

City has only one chance of winning the title

In the Premier League, they are now 23 points behind Liverpool FC. In the UEFA Champions League, they were beaten by Real Madrid in the round of 16 and were also knocked out of the EFL Cup in the round of 16 against Tottenham Hotspur. City's only chance of winning the title this season is therefore the FA Cup. There they are at least in the quarter-finals after wins against lower-ranked clubs such as Leyton Orient and Plymouth Argyle. However, they will face an enormously strong team in Bournemouth.

Manchester City

System: 4-2-3-1.

Brighton is one of the most in-form teams in the league

The Seagulls have overcome their slump in form at the start of the year and are suddenly one of the league's most in-form teams again. They have recently picked up 4 wins in a row, including victories over Chelsea FC and AFC Bournemouth. After the crushing 7:0 defeat against Nottingham, they were able to show an appropriate reaction and now have every chance of a Champions League place. They are just a single point behind City and even the top 4 are only 3 points away. Behind Liverpool and Arsenal, Brighton have conceded the fewest defeats this season, just 6, but have drawn 10 of their 28 games. Brighton have won 6 of 14 away games, but have conceded 24 goals in the process. Their most recent win was 0:4 against Southampton. It was their 3rd away win in the last 4 games.

The Seagulls are a strong collective

Unlike their opponents, Brighton do not have the one goal scorer they rely on in attack. Instead, the squad already has 5 players who have scored 5 or more goals, all of them attacking players. The top scorer at the moment is Joao Pedro with 8 goals. The Brazilian also scored on the last matchday in the 2:1 win against Brighton. In the past 3 matchdays, he has always scored a goal.

We expect a few goals - Our prediction

City are playing at home and naturally have more quality in their squad. However, Brighton have been much more stable in recent weeks and are in better form. A draw in this game would therefore not surprise us. Such a betting tip could be suitable for a single betting slip. Otherwise, we also believe in a few goals. Both the tip Both teams score YES and over 2.5 goals should be worthwhile here.
