Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Brighton
Match Time & Date:
25/02/2025
20:30
Prediction: 2-1
Bournemouth
High-flying Brighton will look to extend their winning run to four games in all competitions when they face Bournemouth on Matchday 27. The Seagulls faced no difficulties in a 4-0 crushing of Southampton, but they will have a big fish to fry in Tuesday’s clash. Both Joel Veltman and Danny Welbeck should be fit for the midweek game, while all Dunk, Igor, Kadioglu, and Milner remain in the recovery room.
The Cherries, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton, with the team dropping to sixth place in the standings. As Brighton have been in a splendid form of late, we predict that the visitors are going to return home with their hand empty. To make things even worse for the away team, defender Ilya Zabarnyi is banned for the match following his sending-off against Wolves. Enes Unal, Julian Araujo, and Marcos Senesi continue to miss out with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Joel Veltman):
Joel Veltman is a Dutch footballer who was born in Velsen on 15 January, 1992. Veltman started his youth career at VV Ijmuiden and in 2011 he was spotted by Ajax scouts. In the 2012/2013 Eredivisie campaign he played for the first team and he made seven league appearances for the Amsterdammers back then.
The centre back, who plays as a right back as well made six appearances for Jong Ajax as well, scoring one goal for the team in the Eerste Divisie. Veltman has 8 caps for Netherlands U20 team and he made his debut for the first team in November 2013 against Colombia. He started the match and he played 90 minutes in the goalless draw with the South American side.
Joel Veltman represented the Oranje at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil. It has to be noted that the Dutch defender made 34 league appearances for Ajax in the 2015/2016 Eredivisie campaign, scoring one goal in the process. In the 2013/2014 season he won his second Eredivisie trophy with Ajax.
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.
