Brighton & Hove Albion vs Burnley Prediction

The Seagulls are winless in their last six home meetings against the visitors. In the Premier League, they have endured a winless run at home against the visitors, failing to score in three of the five games.

Roberto De Zerbi continues to deal with a lengthy absentee list as Pervis Estupiñán, Tariq Lamptey, Ansu Fati, Julio Enciso, Danny Welbeck, and Solly March are recovering from their respective injuries. Adam Webster faces a late fitness test and might start from the bench. Mahmoud Dahoud and Lewis Dunk return from suspensions and should start here.

The Clarets have been in form poor form recently, losing eight of their last nine games in all competitions. They have scored just twice in their last five away games while conceding 12 times in that period and might struggle here.

Vincent Kompany is set to be without Lyle Foster, and Jack Cork for the match while Luca Koleosho is also sidelined for a lengthy period after picking up a knee injury against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Josh Cullen has a knock while Jordan Beyer returns from a suspension.

While the hosts have struggled in recent meetings against the visitors, they head into the match on a six-game unbeaten run across all competitions, and the visitors have lost five games in a row in their travels.

With that in mind, we back the hosts to eke out a narrow win.
