Brighton vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-05-18 19:00.
[p]After a six-game winless run threatened to derail their season (D2, L4), Brighton have since turned things around with two wins and a draw in their last three matches. A 2-0 win over Wolves last week ended a ten-game wait for a Premier League clean sheet and also all but secured a third top-half finish in the last four seasons.[/p]
[p]The Seagulls can still finish in the top eight, which could well be enough for European football should rivals Crystal Palace lose the FA Cup final against Manchester City. Fabian Hürzeler’s men must do their part in any eventuality, and will be confident having lost just one of their last seven home league games (W4, D2) as well as tasting defeat in just one of their last four games at the Amex Stadium against Liverpool (W2, D1).[/p]
[p]Liverpool’s level has noticeably dropped off since being crowned champions, as they lost 3-1 away to Chelsea before letting a 2-0 lead slip against Arsenal to eventually draw 2-2 last time out. The only real consequence is that they can no longer reach 90 points, but that doesn’t seem to have bothered the squad and coach Arne Slot, who were spotted on a celebratory trip to the United Arab Emirates this week.[/p]
[p]Pride is still on the line for the Reds in the final two weeks of the season, as they look to avoid suffering back-to-back league defeats on the road for the first time since April 2023. There’s a more historical accolade available to Liverpool too, as a goal here would see them score in all of their top-flight away games in a season for the very first time.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Danny Welbeck has been a thorn in Liverpool’s side recently, directly contributing to four goals in his last five Premier League H2Hs (G2, A2). Yet more history potentially awaits Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, who could break the record for the most goals scored away from home in a Premier League campaign (currently on 16), in what could be his 300th appearance in the competition.[/p]
[p]Hot streak: Liverpool haven’t lost their final Premier League away match in any of the last six seasons (W4, D2).[/p]
