In their last match, they drew away to West Ham United (2-2). In the league, Brighton has secured 16 points from a possible 27, with 4 wins, 4 draws, and 1 loss in their last 9 home matches.

Brighton enters this match following a 2-2 draw during their trip to West Ham United, marking the sixth consecutive match without a win in the competition: the goals for the team were scored by Joël Veltman and Danny Welbeck. The home side usually plays in a 4-3-3 formation, favoring a faster style of play with constant transitions. The three players likely to cause discomfort in the opponent’s area will be Maxim De Cuyper, Yankuba Minteh, and Danny Welbeck. It is possible that James Milner, Yasin Ayari, and Diego Gómez will operate in the central midfield, with the latter possessing more offensive capabilities. Missing from this match are Carlos Baleba, who is on national duty, as well as Adam Webster and Stefanos Tzimas, both injured.

Confirmed lineup: Bart Verbruggen, Joël Veltman, Lewis Dunk, Jan Paul van Hecke, Maxim De Cuyper, Ferdi Kadıoğlu, Yasin Ayari, Diego Gómez, James Milner, Danny Welbeck, Brajan Gruda.

In their away games, there is a tendency for goals, as 8 out of 9 have finished with over 2.5 goals on the scoreboard.

The visiting side opts for a traditional 3-4-3 formation, with the three most forward players being Loum Tchaouna, Armando Broja, and Marcus Edwards. When advancing into offense, they tend to channel their attack down the right, making it easier to exploit the width offered by right-back Kyle Walker. Missing from this match are Hannibal, Lyle Foster, and Axel Tuanzebe, who are on national duty, along with Josh Cullen, Zeki Amdouni, and Connor Roberts, who are injured.
