Brighton Analysis

Brighton’s recent performances have painted a tapestry of resilience and tactical discipline. It was just enough to edge them into the favourite spot for the upcoming Europa League duel. The Seagulls’ form, DWLWW, highlights their ability to bounce back from setbacks. This performance is underscored by their robust defence, which has registered a notable clean sheet in their last five encounters.

However, concerns linger around their scoring prowess, with an average of 0.40 goals per game in these fixtures. Brighton’s tactical adaptability will be crucial as they aim to overturn the previous 4-0 defeat against their Italian counterparts.

Their defensive solidarity is also notable. With one clean sheet in the same period, it highlights a balance between offensive potency and defensive diligence. After a crucial win over heavy competitors and a steady progression in the tournament, their confidence will be sky-high now.
