Brighton is not in good form this season. So even though it is Brighton's home match, it is unlikely that they will win against City. Brighton lost 2-0 against Everton in the last match. The team also failed to win against Fulham in the first match. Brighton's attack seems to be relatively weak this season. So I am betting on City to win.
Manchester City got the lead in the first half with Haaland's goal. We do not see any attack from Brighton. City players dominated the match at Brighton's home. My guess was that we will see City win by at least 2 goals. Let's see if City can play well in the second half.
Brighton struggled in the midfield, which resulted in their attacking line not having many chances. In this match, Man City is clearly favored. However, we don’t know how the second half will unfold.
In the first half, Brighton was clearly under pressure and only had one shot on goal. But Man City may need to be more cautious with the set-piece opportunities that Brighton gets in the second half. I think they will make the most of those opportunities considering Man City's strong dominance.
