Seagulls and Foxes set to draw
On Saturday, Brighton will look to boost their survival hopes as the Seagulls welcome Leicester to the AMEX Stadium.
Brighton are 12th place in the Premier League table, six points clear of the relegation zone after a mixed run of form in the English top-flight.
Chris Hughton’s side suffered a 2-0 defeat at Everton last time out, which ended a five-game unbeaten run for the Seagulls. Five of the home side’s last six Premier League games have seen both sides score.
The team from the south coast have a decent recent record on home soil in the top-flight, winning four of their last six games on home soil while suffering just one defeat in the process. In fact, the home side has won their last three games on home soil and scored at least two goals in each victory.
The Seagulls have offered good entertainment value in their home games in the Premier League of late, with over 2.5 goals scored in their last five home games.
Leicester heads into this clash on a poor run of form. However, the Foxes are still eighth-place in the Premier League, just three points off seventh spot, which could be enough for European football next season.
A 4-1 win at rock bottom West Brom last time out in the league ended a five-game winless run for Claude Puel’s side. The result means that both teams have scored in the Foxes last six games in the top-flight.
Puel’s side has a poor away record in the Premier League of late, winning just one of their last six away games, suffering four defeats in the process. However, that win was in the aforementioned victory at West Brom in their last away game.
Forebet predicts that Brighton will be frustrated in their attempts to move away from the bottom of the table, with this game finishing all square.
