Brighton vs Bournemouth Lineups, Predictions & Betting Tips

January 19, 2025 | Amex Stadium | Premier League | 20:00 GMT

Brighton and Bournemouth face off in this Premier League clash, with Brighton looking to steady a shaky run of form of late which has seen them slip down the table into the bottom half as they look to realise their ambitions of making it back into European football for next season. Bournemouth are in desperate need of following up their victory against Spurs with another haul of points here, as they have slipped all the way to 15th, having sat in the top four earlier in the season, but do now contend with the absence of star man Semenyo, who completed his move to Man City in this window.

Brighton vs Bournemouth Current Form and Standings

Brighton currently sit in 11th place in the Premier League with 29 points from 21 games thus far. Recent form hasn't been particularly flattering, but a run of five games without victory has been curbed by two draws and two victories in their last three games, which will give them confidence heading into this game against the struggling Bournemouth.

Bournemouth currently sit in an even worse position down in 15th after a run of awful form which has seen them plummeting down the table. Previous to the victory against Spurs, Bournemouth had been on an 11-game winless run, and following the Spurs game were again beaten by Newcastle in the FA Cup. A pickup in results is desperately needed to prevent an unwanted relegation battle.

Brighton vs Bournemouth Betting Tips

Football Park's Best Bet: Brighton win @ 1.85 – Our team of in-house tipsters has predicted a Brighton win. Brighton are in better form coming into this one, and how Bournemouth will cope without star man Semenyo is yet to be seen – everything points toward a victory for the home side here.

Key Players to Watch: Brighton vs Bournemouth

Danny Welbeck (Brighton): Welbeck returned to the scoresheet in the FA Cup against Man Utd. Following a couple of games out of the side, we could see the veteran return to the side here and continue that form.

Marcus Tavernier (Bournemouth): Many are wondering who will step up following the sale of Semenyo, and Marcus Tavernier could well be the man tasked with stepping up. Four goals and three assists to his name so far this season make him a threat again in this game.
