Brighton, Bournemouth se heurtent à l'affrontement de lundi soir.

Brighton vs Bournemouth débute à 20h00 [GMT] le lundi 19 janvier au stade Amex.

Les Seagulls n’ont perdu que deux de leurs 18 derniers matchs de Premier League à l’Amex (W10 D6), avec ces défaites venant uniquement contre Aston Villa. Contre Bournemouth en particulier, Brighton a connu un succès remarquable sur le terrain, en perdant seulement une de leurs six rencontres de Premier League à domicile avec les Cherries (W4 D1). Encore plus impressionnant, Brighton a gagné chacun des quatre derniers matchs de la Premier League contre Bournemouth depuis une lourde défaite de 5-0 en avril 2019. Ce record met en évidence l’Amex comme un terrain difficile pour les visiteurs. Sur le front individuel, la menace d’attaque de Brighton a été motivée par l’énergie et la directesse de Yankuba Minteh. Seul Erling

However, Bournemouth arrive with renewed belief after snapping a long winless run. Their dramatic 3-2 victory over Tottenham last time out ended an 11-game stretch without a Premier League win (D5 L6), offering a timely boost to morale. Having already beaten the Seagulls 2-1 at the Vitality Stadium in September, Bournemouth are now chasing just their second-ever Premier League double over Brighton, the first coming in the 2018-19 season. Despite that ambition, consistency remains an issue for the Cherries. They have not won consecutive Premier League games since August, when they put together a three-match winning run. Interestingly, the final two wins in that sequence came against Tottenham and Brighton, respectively, suggesting Bournemouth may feel quietly optimistic about matching up against this opposition when confidence is flowing. In addition, the Cherries can point to the emergence of teenage striker Junior Kroupi as a major positive. At just 19 years old, Kroupi has already scored seven Premier League goals this season, placing him among an elite group of non-British teenagers to reach such a tally in a single campaign. His composure in front of goal has been a rare bright spot during a difficult run and provides Bournemouth with a genuine threat on the counter-attack. Evanilson is expected at the attacking end of Andoni Iraola’s 4—2—3—1 formation.
