H2H: Brighton vs Burnley – Comparison.

Brighton’s Pascal Groß has assisted at least twice as many goals as any other club player since promotion (16). He set up Tariq Lamptey’s equaliser last time out. Burnley’s Chris Wood boasts eight goals from 16 league appearances vs Brighton – his most vs any specific English club. Burnley manager Sean Dyche has drawn seven of his 13 overall H2Hs with Brighton (W3, L3), including three of his last four such away games.

Brighton Insights.

Now winless in five games (D2, L3) Brighton & Hove Albion manager Graham Potter has overseen the joint-worst seven-game start since the club’s promotion to the Premier League (PL). Moreover, 71.42% of their PL games have seen over 2.5 total goals (3.57 on average), and there have been goals in both halves in each of the Seagulls’ PL home games. Brighton have notably won three (L1) of their four PL games played on a Friday. Both of those Friday wins on home turf came by a 1-0 scoreline, whilst all three victories came without reply. Any repeat of those 1-0 matches may see the decider come in the second half, with 2.33 goals on average in that period across Brighton’s PL home games (1H: 1.33).

Burnley Insights.

Visiting Burnley must win to remove themselves from their rock-bottom berth and put them within striking distance of Brighton. However, Burnley are enduring their worst campaign since promotion, based on both points and goals conceded (2.0 per-match on average). Moreover, they have lost their only two Friday-held PL games without reply. An alarming five of Burnley’s seven conceded away goals have come after HT. Additionally, Burnley have received more yellow cards away from home than all but three sides – 2+ in each game, and more than their opposition in two. On a brighter note, Burnley boast a 57.14% W/D rate across their last 21 PL away games entered as outsiders (W6, D6, L9).
