Brighton vs Liverpool Prediction 19 May 2025
🔊 Can Liverpool secure their first win as Premier League champions? Brighton have lost their competitive edge recently, with overtaking Brentford for eighth place no longer a priority. Liverpool have already been out of reach for their rivals for two rounds, showing strong performances only in patches. As a result, there is no clear favorite in this upcoming clash. In such a scenario, we will explore various options to make an insightful prediction. It's worth noting that the match will take place at the Amex Stadium.
Head-to-Head
📊 Over the course of 19 head-to-head matches, Liverpool hold the advantage with a 63 percent win rate. This season, they've faced Brighton twice and have yet to keep a clean sheet against them. In the League Cup, the Merseysiders secured an away victory (3-2). They also edged out Brighton in the Premier League (2-1), despite the Seagulls taking the lead in the 14th minute. The Reds managed to equalize and pull ahead only in the middle of the second half. Cody Gakpo has emerged as a specialist against Brighton, scoring 3 of Liverpool's 5 goals in this season's encounters.
Brighton have never been renowned for their defense, making them a favorable opponent for Liverpool. This is underscored by their head-to-head statistics and the fact that the Merseysiders have scored at least two goals in 6 of their last 7 Premier League meetings. Therefore, a potential bet could be Liverpool to score over 1.5 goals.
Head-to-head statistics Brighton - Liverpool
Brighton & Hove Albion Team Overview
🔵 Brighton have been in a tussle with Brentford, Bournemouth, and Fulham for eighth place in the Premier League. This spot could have offered European competition if Manchester City had clinched the FA Cup. However, that scenario didn't materialize. With a seven-point gap to Nottingham Forest, overtaking them in the final two matches is out of reach. Over their last five games, the Seagulls have only suffered a defeat to Brentford (2-4).
🔗 In the previous round, Brighton visited Wolverhampton and managed to keep a clean sheet for the first time since late February, securing three points with a 2-0 victory. Despite Wolves looking more promising in the first half, it was the Seagulls who earned and converted a penalty. The second half was evenly matched, but Brighton extended their lead.

Liverpool Team Overview
🔴 Two rounds ago, Liverpool clinched the championship title. They did it in style at Anfield, thrashing Tottenham 5-1. Following that, they faced teams who were also in the title race. However, the Reds couldn't gear up against Chelsea, losing 3-1. They conceded as early as the third minute, with the match featuring bizarre goals, falls, and deflections. It seems the team hadn't fully come down from their title celebrations.
🔗 In the last round, Liverpool looked better, at least for the first half-hour. By the middle of the first half, they had already scored twice against Arsenal. After that, the Merseysiders seemed to remember that the game held no tournament significance for them. Consequently, their opponents seized the initiative and leveled the score at 2-2.

Latest news
Brighton & Hove Albion
📣 Brighton head coach Fabian Hürzeler reflected on their victory over Wolverhampton: "In the first 20 minutes, we created chances, but after the penalty, we lost control and made too many simple errors. We needed to return to our game plan, and in the second half, we defended better, held possession well, and the second goal came at just the right moment."
📝 Brighton might lose João Pedro this summer. Reports suggest Chelsea have entered the race for the Brazilian. The forward is also attracting interest from Newcastle, Aston Villa, and Liverpool.
❌ João Pedro has served his three-match suspension following a red card against Brentford and is likely to feature in the Seagulls' starting lineup. However, injured players Ferdi Kadioglu, Solomon March, James Milner, and Georginio Rutter will definitely miss out. Notably, Lewis Dunk, who missed the match against Wolverhampton, is expected to be ready for Liverpool.
Liverpool
📝 Trent Alexander-Arnold has decided to leave Liverpool and join Real Madrid. The "Royal Club" aims to make this happen before the FIFA Club World Cup. The "Reds" management are not opposed, especially since they have extended the contract of Trent's competitor Conor Bradley and are set to sign Jeremie Frimpong from Bayer Leverkusen by activating his release clause of 35 million euros.
📣 Mohamed Salah shared his thoughts on the Ballon d'Or: "I would love to win the Ballon d'Or at least once in my life. If it doesn't happen, I don't know what I'll do. This year, I believe I have a good chance of winning, but we'll see." It's worth noting that after Liverpool's early exit from the Champions League, Salah is no longer considered a frontrunner for the award.
❌ Liverpool are preparing for their match with nearly a full squad. The only absentee is Joe Gomez, who is not a regular starter.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is John Brooks, who has officiated 16 Premier League games this season. Known for his decisiveness, he averages 5.31 yellow cards per match. In only one of these games did he issue fewer than four cautions.
Both teams enter the match with a trend towards high yellow card counts. At the Amex, there have been at least three bookings in 10 of the last 11 matches. Similarly, this applies to 7 of Liverpool's last 8 fixtures. Given the referee's stats, a bet on over 3 total yellow cards seems reasonable.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Brighton have scored in the first half in 11 of their last 12 Premier League matches. They're likely to start aggressively, especially since this will be their last game at the Amex this season. Liverpool are not displaying the same form they had during their title-winning campaign. Therefore, it's highly probable that Brighton will score in the first half.
🚩 Corner Prediction
Brighton's matches average 9.7 corners, while Liverpool's average is slightly higher at 10.4. However, in 9 of the last 10 games at the Amex, there have been fewer than 10 corners. This also holds true for their last four head-to-head encounters at this stadium. Therefore, we suggest a bet on under 10.5 total corners.
Editorial Prediction
Head-to-head clashes between these teams consistently deliver high-scoring encounters, with the over hitting in seven consecutive meetings, often by a significant margin. Given that neither Liverpool nor Brighton have much at stake in the upcoming match, it’s unlikely they will hold back. Our bet is on over 3 goals.
