Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Buoyed by a hard-fought 1-0 win over Wolverhampton, Bournemouth will look to keep on climbing the standings when they take on Brighton on Sunday afternoon. The Cherries are eager to put an end to their three-game winless run and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the Seagulls. Defender Milos Kerkez is banned for the match, while all Romain Faivre, Luis Sinisterra, Tyler Adams, Marcus Tavernier, and Ryan Fredericks continue to miss out with injuries.
Meanwhile, the Seagulls aim to keep their Conference League hopes alive and seeing that they will go for a win as well, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Webster, Mitoma, Milner, March, Lamptey, Gilmour, Estupinan, and Enciso should miss out with injuries for the visiting team. In the first half of the season Brighton defeated Bournemouth 3-1 and yet another high-scoring affair is on the horizon.
Highlighted Player (Joao Pedro):
Joao Pedro played for Atletico Mineiro during his youth career and he made no less than 11 appearances for the club at senior level. The Brazilian footballer, who was born on 9 March, 1992 in Ipatinga, signed a deal with Palermo on 30 August, 2010 and he made his debut for the Sicilian outfit in the Serie A on 17 January, 2011.
He came as a substitute to replace Josip Ilicic in a 3-1 defeat to Cagliari. On 29 January, 2011 he joined Vitoria Guimaraes on loan and on 19 August he was loaned to Penarol of Uruguay. After ending his loan spell with the Uruguayan team, the Brazilian midfielder joined Santos and he played 10 games for the Brazilian team.
On 1 July he signed a contract with Estoril and he moved to Cagliari at the end of the season. Joao Pedro has 11 caps for Brazil U17 and he scored one goal for the national team.
Highlighted Team (Bournemouth):
Bournemouth are a professional football club that was formed back in 1890. The Cherries secured promotion to the Premier League in the 2015/2016 season, with the team making it to the English top flight for the first time ever.
Bournemouth play their home games at Dean Court and the capacity of the stadium is 11,469.
The Cherries enjoyed a very successful season on their Premier League debut, with the team beating the likes of Chelsea and Manchester United in the national championship. Glenn Murray scored the winner for Bournemouth in the 1-0 win over the capital club at Stamford Bridge and that is probably the greatest victory in the club’s history.
Bournemouth have been participating in the FA Cup since 1913, but they have yet to win the trophy in the prestigious competition. It has to be noted that the club’s original name Boscombe Athletic Football Club was changed to Bournemouth back in 1923 as the club owners wanted the Cherries to be more representative of the district.
