Manchester City faces Brighton & Hove Albion at the Etihad in a match from the 9th round of the Premier League. Let’s see what we can tell you about it in our banker bets soccer predictions for today.
Man City were leaders in the league, but they fell to 3rd place after two consecutive losses in the league against Wolves and Arsenal. Now Pep Guardiola’s team is third with 18 points – still just two points behind the leader Tottenham Hotspur.
Just as always, Guardiola will rotate the starting eleven against Brighton – that’s what he usually do. The most important news for City is the return of Rodri. The influential Spanish midfielder was missed against Wolves and Arsenal, but now he’s ready to back to the pitch after his suspension. We already saw that City are not doing so well when the Spaniard is not on the pitch.
Jeremy Doku can return in the starting eleven as he was benched against Arsenal while John Stones has recovered from his injury and he can start as well. Matheus Nunes and Jack Grealish are options for City as well.
Brighton & Hove Albion will travel to Manchester after a 2-2 draw with Liverpool at the American Express in the previous round. The Seagulls are now 6th in the standings with 16 points – just two points behind their next opponent Man City.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team made a solid performance against Liverpool. Brighton faced one of the best teams in the country and proved once again how good they are. Adingra and Dunk scored for the hosts which allowed them to get a point from the game.
Ansu Fati still can’t win himself a starting place for Brighton. He arrived with high hopes from Barcelona but he’s still adapting to the life in England.
That’s the banker bets soccer predictions for today for the upcoming Premier League match between Manchester City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
