Brighton Eye Home Boost vs. Struggling Burnley
3 Jan
Summary
- Brighton seeks to end a six-match winless streak at home.
- Burnley is in the bottom three, with only two points in 30 available.
- Both teams face injury concerns with multiple players out or questionable.
Brighton & Hove Albion are hoping a return to the Amex Stadium will mark the end of their six-match winless streak in the Premier League. They face a bottom-three Burnley side on Saturday, a fixture where Fabian Hurzeler will expect a strong performance. The Seagulls have struggled to convert draws into wins, picking up only three points from their last six outings.
Burnley enters the match in dire need of a victory, having secured a mere two points from their last 30 available league games. While recent draws against Bournemouth and Everton, alongside respectable performances away at Newcastle and at home against Fulham, show glimmers of hope for Scott Parker's team, their last result was a 3-1 defeat to Newcastle.
The Clarets are six points adrift of 17th place, highlighting the urgency for wins as other relegation candidates pull away. Both teams are hampered by significant injury concerns, with Brighton missing several key players due to injury and international duty, while Burnley faces a lengthy list of absentees due to knee injuries, suspension, and international call-ups. Brighton is predicted to win this encounter 1-0.
