Manchester City F.C. vs Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. Prediction 21 October 2023

An intriguing battle between Manchester City and Brighton will highlight the program of the ninth round of the Premier League.

In the first half of September, Manchester City in turn broke the resistance of Fulham (5:1), West Ham (3:1) and Nottingham (2:0), after which they unexpectedly found themselves weaker than Wolverhampton (1:2) and Arsenal (0:1). It is not surprising that the Cityzens could not maintain their position as leaders of the Premier League, dropping to third place with 18 points and a goal difference of 17:6.

Brighton scored 16 points with an impressive goal statistics of 21:16, thanks to which they are sixth. We would like to note that matches involving the Seagulls are always very productive. As, for example, with Newcastle (3:1), Manchester United (3:1), Bournemouth (3:1), Aston Villa (1:6) and Liverpool (2:2).

We are 100% sure that Brighton will not become whipping boys for the less than perfect Manchester City. The teams will probably play on opposite sides and capitalize on many dangerous chances.
