Brighton comes into this fixture following a frustrating 2-2 draw against West Ham on Tuesday. Danny Welbeck will be kicking himself after missing a crucial penalty that could have changed the game’s complexion before the break. It is a bit worrying for Fabian Hurzeler that his team has now gone six matches without a victory. Their defense seems to have lost its early-season polish, conceding 11 goals in the last six games compared to just 10 in the previous ten. Still, they usually find a second wind late in games, as 20 of their 28 league goals have come after the half-time whistle. Will they leave it late again on Saturday?
Brighton head coach Fabian Hurzeler has provided a fitness update ahead of Saturday’s Premier League clash with Burnley, confirming that Yankuba Minteh only suffered a dead leg against West Ham. While Mats Wieffer is ruled out with a minor toe injury, Kaoru Mitoma is in contention to start following a positive cameo. Hurzeler also touched on January transfer rumors and warned of Burnley's goalscoring threat despite their recent results.

The statistical evidence for a high-scoring game at the Amex is overwhelming. Brighton averages 3.0 total goals per home match, while Burnley’s away fixtures have been even more explosive, averaging a staggering 4.0 goals. With Burnley conceding 2.67 goals on average when traveling, Brighton’s attack, led by Danny Welbeck, should find plenty of space. Furthermore, 89% of Burnley’s away games have seen at least three goals. Brighton’s defense has also been shaky lately, conceding 11 goals in their last six matches. This combination of a potent but frustrated home attack and a leaky visiting defense makes Over 2.5 Goals a very logical selection. Both teams have shown a tendency to play open football, and with Burnley desperate for points to survive, they cannot afford to sit back, which should lead to an end-to-end encounter with multiple scoring opportunities for both sides.
