2️⃣ 🔥 Key Factors and Expected Outcome

Brighton's home advantage is a significant factor, especially given their recent 3-0 victory over Chelsea at the Amex. Bournemouth, while capable of scoring, have shown defensive vulnerabilities. Expect Brighton to control possession and dictate the tempo, but Bournemouth's counter-attacking threat cannot be ignored. This match will likely be an open, attacking affair with goals on both ends.

3️⃣ 📈 Recent Team Form and Key Players to Watch

• Brighton: Recent form is mixed, but their dominant home win against Chelsea (3-0) demonstrates their potential. Key player: Lamptey, who is being targeted by Ajax, will be looking to impress.
• Bournemouth: Bournemouth are finding their stride, but consistency remains an issue. Key player: Jadon Sancho's form has dipped recently, with only one assist in his last 11 games. He needs to rediscover his spark to impact the game.

Injury Concerns/Suspensions: Brighton have no significant injuries. Bournemouth's Nicolas Jackson is out for 6-8 weeks with a hamstring injury, a major blow to their attack.

4️⃣ 🎯 Tactical Preview

Brighton will likely employ their usual possession-based approach, aiming to break down Bournemouth's defense with intricate passing and movement. Expect them to utilize their wingers to stretch the play. Bournemouth will likely sit deeper, looking to exploit Brighton's high line with quick counter-attacks.

Tactical Battle: Lamptey's pace and trickery against Bournemouth's right-back will be a key duel. If Lamptey can consistently get in behind, Brighton will create numerous scoring opportunities.

5️⃣ 📢 Summary and Key Takeaways

Brighton are favored due to their home advantage and recent strong performance. However, Bournemouth's counter-attacking ability and Brighton's defensive lapses suggest both teams will find the net. All eyes will be on Lamptey's performance, as his potential move to Ajax adds extra motivation to shine.
