There are four fixtures to be played in the English Premier League on the 4th of April including the meeting between Bournemouth and Brighton.
The game will be played at the Vitality Stadium and the hosts are currently 16th in the league on 27 points while the visitors are 6th on 43 points.
Bournemouth come into the match on the back of a good 2-1 home win over Fulham in the Premier League on the weekend. The Cherries fell a goal behind in the 16th minute but responded well after the interval, scoring the equaliser in the 50th minute.
Bournemouth scored their second goal with 11 minutes left on the clock and that was good enough to take a crucial 3 points.
The win over Fulham was the second win in 3 games for Bournemouth, all of which were played in the Premier League. Bournemouth beat Liverpool 1-0 at home but suffered a 3-0 loss at Aston Villa in their most recent away fixture.
Home form in the league shows Bournemouth have been tough to beat recently and they are undefeated in 4 of their last 5 home matches. There have been wins over Liverpool and Fulham plus draws with Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United.
Trends show both teams have scored in 4 of Bournemouth’s 5 most recent home Premier League fixtures and they have kept just 2 clean sheets in their last 10 home league games.
Brighton make the trip to the Vitality Stadium having been held to a 3-3 draw at home by Brentford in the Premier League on the weekend. It was a thrilling match to watch and there were 4 goals in the first half, shared between the two teams.
It was Brentford who took the lead early in the second period but Brighton did not give up and equalised from the penalty spot at the end of the game.
That draw means Brighton are undefeated in their last 6 matches in all competitions. There have been wins over Stoke City and Grimsby Town in the FA Cup plus West Ham and Crystal Palace at home in the Premier League.
Away form in the league shows Brighton are undefeated in their 6 most recent games. The Seagulls have been entertaining to watch on the road and have seen both teams score in each of their last 7 away Premier League matches.
Team news and Bournemouth are without injured defender Ryan Fredericks. They also have doubts over the fitness of Junior Stanislas.
Brighton travel without the injured trio of Jeremy Sarmiento, Adam Lallana, and Jakub Moder. They also have doubts over the fitness of striker Evan Ferguson.
Bournemouth have been good at home in recent games but Brighton will prove to be difficult opposition. This is a match that should produce plenty of goal mouth action and we expect to see over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Brighton are the better team and should come away with all 3 points.
