Prediction: 2-3
Man City
Brighton will try to recover from a 2-0 loss to Everton as they welcome Manchester City to their Amex Stadium on Sunday. The Seagulls are still eyeing their first win of the season and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against the star-studded Citizens. Brighton product Jack Hinshelwood is pushing for his first start of the process, while all Solly Marsch, Julio Enciso, and Adam Webster remain in the recovery room.
The Citizens, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a shocking 2-0 loss to Tottenham. As both Man City and Brighton will go for a win in Sunday’s encounter, we are tempted to place our bets on over 2.5 goals. Anyhow, Pep Guardiola’s troops are closer to pick up all three points than the hosts, who made a slow start to the season. Fit-again midfielder Rodri is pushing for a start, while summer signing Rayan Ait-Nouri should recover in time to face the Seagulls.
Highlighted Player (Mateo Kovacic):
Born to Croatian parents in Linz, Austria, Mateo Kovacic spent seven years in the LASK Linz youth academy before joining Dinamo Zagreb, where he showed a great deal of potential shortly after being promoted to the senior squad.
The good return of 7 goals in 43 league appearances saw him secure a high-profile move to Inter Milan, where he acted as both holding midfielder and attacking midfielder, during the three years at Stadio Giuseppe Meazza. And despite not exactly impressing in Italy, Kovacic was purchased by mighty Real Madrid, where he has been ever since. The youngster is widely regarded as one of Croatia’s most talented footballers at the moment and he has represented the country on international stage since the age of 19.
In just three years he managed to make over 25 appearances for the national team, playing at the 2014 World Cup and Euro 2016 finals for Vatreni. Kovavic has yet to be given a real chance to impress at Real Madrid, but he has entire future ahead of him.
Highlighted Team (Brighton):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.
Brighton’s main rivals are Crystal Palace and the Seagulls have recorded 35 wins over the Eagles. Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
