Match preview: Brighton vs Leicester

Brighton and Leicester will meet at The American Express Community Stadium for the 32nd round of the Premier League. The last encounter saw the teams end in a 2-2 draw on 8 December 2024. At this ground, the historical record of direct confrontations favours the home side, who have achieved 2 victories and sustained 1 defeat in their past 3 meetings. Indeed, the last clash here took place on 4 September 2022, when Brighton & Hove Albion triumphed with a score of 5-2. Goals in that match were scored by A. Mac Allister (71′ and 90′), Moses Caicedo (15′), Leandro Trossard (64′), and L. Thomas (10′ own goal) for Brighton, while Kelechi Iheanacho (1′) and P. Daka (33′) found the net for Leicester. The home advantage could prove pivotal here, as Leicester’s results show considerable discrepancies between home and away performances.

Team analysis: Brighton

The home side currently occupies 9th place, having amassed 47 points with 12 wins, 11 draws, and 8 losses. In their penultimate match, they suffered a home defeat to Aston Villa (0-3), and followed this with another loss away to Crystal Palace (2-1). Brighton has maintained consistent performance when playing away from home, recording 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses in their last 30 games; at home, their record mirrors this with 6 wins, 5 draws, and 4 losses as well. In the league, Brighton has accumulated 15 points over their last 10 home games, achieving 4 wins, 3 draws, and 3 losses. Defensively, they have not been particularly solid, conceding in 8 of their last 10 games while their attack has been regularly finding the net in 7 of those matches. In their home games, there is a distinct goal-scoring trend, with 10 of the last 15 fixtures resulting in over 2.5 goals. Across 31 league matches, Brighton conceded the first goal 13 times, managing to come back on just 3 occasions.

Brighton enters this match after a disappointing 2-1 defeat. Their only goal came from Danny Welbeck during their last encounter at Crystal Palace. Typically employing a 4-3-3 formation, they exploit the width provided by their full-backs. The forward line is likely to consist of Danny Welbeck, Kaoru Mitoma, and Yankuba Minteh. Matt O’Riley takes on the role of orchestrating the offensive play. Missing out due to suspension is Jan Paul Van Hecke, alongside several others including Joël Veltman, Ferdi Kadíoğlu, James Milner, Jason Steele, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Georginio Rutter, and Igor, all sidelined with physical issues.

Team analysis: Leicester

With 4 victories, 5 draws, and 22 defeats, the visiting team currently sits in 19th place, having gathered a mere 17 points. In their last encounter, they lost at home to Newcastle United (0-3) and previously fell to Manchester City (2-0) away. Leicester has been significantly affected by their home record; they are generally stronger in front of their supporters, having claimed 2 wins, 1 draw, and suffered 12 defeats in their last 30 away matches, scoring 14 goals while conceding 40. In contrast, their home record stands at 3 wins, 2 draws, and 10 losses, with 15 goals scored and 32 conceded. In league play, Leicester has earned only 3 points from 30 available, with just 1 win and 9 losses in their past 10 away fixtures. The team’s defensive woes are prevalent, conceding in all of their last 10 matches, while their attack has only scored in 1 of their last 10 encounters. Away games see a consistent trend towards high-scoring affairs, with 11 of their last 15 matches finishing with over 2.5 goals. Leicester has seldom taken the lead, having done so only 5 times in the last 31 games, winning on just 2 of those occasions. Over the same span, they have conceded the first goal 26 times, registering only 2 comebacks.

Leicester City is struggling in this portion of the season and recently recorded a notable defeat at home against Newcastle, marking eight consecutive losses without scoring. The visiting side typically adopts a 3-4-3 formation with Patson Daka, Bilal El Khannouss, and Jamie Vardy leading the attack. When mounting offensive plays, they often look to exploit the right flank through Ricardo Pereira’s overlapping runs. James Justin is serving a suspension, alongside Issahaku Fatawu and Harry Souttar, who are both sidelined through injury.
