Key Players to watch in Bournemouth vs Brighton
Evanilson
Tottenham Hotspur spent a club-record fee of £65 million to sign Dominic Solanke from Bournemouth in the summer. The Cherries then also broke their club record to sign Evanilson from FC Porto for £40.5 million as a replacement for Solanke.
While it took him some time to adjust to the new surroundings, the Brazilian striker finally appears to have found his feet. He’s scored four goals in 11 games for Bournemouth this season but all four have come in his last six appearances.
Evanilson has scored in his last three appearances for Bournemouth and will be keen to keep the run going against Brighton on Saturday.
Danny Welbeck
Amidst all the young attacking talent that Brighton have accumulated in their squad, it’s the veteran Danny Welbeck who has been the star for the club. He’s been in terrific form this season, scoring six goals and providing two assists in 11 Premier League games.
Welbeck is Brighton’s top scorer this season and has scored three goals and provided one assist in his last six appearances. However, he’s just got one assist in his last three appearances and will be keen to change that against Bournemouth on Saturday.
Bournemouth vs Brighton Prediction
Both sides have shown signs of brilliance this season and will be eager to continue their good form. They are both dealing with numerous injury issues and squad depth could be the difference-maker on Saturday.
Bournemouth had an excellent run where they beat Arsenal, drew against Aston Villa away, and then beat Manchester City. However, they then lost 3-2 against Brentford away in their last game before the international break. Having already been eliminated from the EFL Cup, Andoni Iraola will be keen to not drop further in the Premier League.
Brighton, meanwhile, ended a run of three games without a win by beating Manchester City before the international break. They drew against Wolves before losing against Liverpool both in the EFL Cup and in the Premier League. However, they turned it around brilliantly against the champions.
While Brighton will be confident from their last results, Bournemouth have been a strong force at home this season. It could end in an entertaining draw given their injury issues.
Predicted Score: Bournemouth 2-2 Brighton
