Liverpool v Brighton Betting Tips [2 November 2024]

Liverpool will be back against Brighton for the second meeting in under a week, this time in the Premier League at home. These two clashed in the League Cup in midweek, with Liverpool emerging 3-2 winners. Here’s our preview and prediction of the match.

Liverpool will be keen on a home victory that could take them back to the league summit. The Reds relinquished their lead following a hard fought 2-2 draw with Arsenal last weekend. They now trail Manchester City by a point.

Nine wins in their last 10 matches will give Arne Slot’s men the confidence that they can rise again here.

Brighton, now out of the League Cup courtesy of the same opponent they face, have the perfect chance at revenge. Their recent form is nothing close to Liverpool’s but the Seagulls have the quality to trouble Liverpool.

Heading to Anfield, they have no win in their last two matches, and have won just twice in six. It is their scoring run that should give them confidence heading into this game.

In six of their last seven matches, Brighton scored two or more goals but managed just one clean sheet. Only one of their matches in that period produced under 2.5 goals.

Liverpool’s midweek win against Brighton was their third straight undefeated outing in this fixture. However, what strikes more is the number of goals scored in this fixture. Over 2.5 goals were scored in each of the last six meetings between these teams.

Coming into this game as well, we had at least three goals in either team’s recent matches. Both have not been keeping a lot of clean sheets but rarely fail to score. With this in mind our prediction for Liverpool v Brighton is for over 2.5 goals.
