Brighton face champions, Liverpool, in a Premier League clash at the AMEX Stadium on Monday night, needing a win to keep alive slim hopes of qualifying for Europe next season.
Those hopes got slimmer after Crystal Palace shocked Manchester City to win the FA Cup title on Saturday, a result that did not favour the likes of Brighton, Brentford, Fulham and Bournemouth.
Arsenal beating Newcastle United cushioned the blow of Palace taking a European spot via the league with their FA Cup win, making a win against the Reds crucial.
Match Odds
Prediction
Previous games between the Seagulls and Reds have produced the goals, with all of the last five in all competitions having over 2.5 goals each, and only two of the last 10 failing to get over 2.5 goals. That’s why we have our money on both teams to score.
