Our prediction for the match Brighton & Hove Albion vs Liverpool
“The Seagulls” made a good debut in the Europa League last season, winning their group and reaching the play-offs. Still, either the additional unfamiliar workload affected them, or, more likely, De Zerbi really wanted to find a bigger club and neglected his responsibilities more and more noticeably – in any case, the ambitious and original team rolled back to the bottom of the Premier League table, to 11th place. “The Reds” were playing, as it became clear already in the winter, their last season under the leadership of Klopp. They did without the so-called “quadruple”, but won a trophy, ironically, the League Cup, which the German specialist was sceptical about, and entered the top 3 of the Premier League.
Speaking about the summer, the team from Anfield actually replaced only the coach, Slot, having “preserved” the squad (only Chiesa was acquired “at a discount” from Turin). As for the club from the south coastб it behaved diametrically differently: a new manager, Hürzeler, and a number of rather expensive investments (in total, the campaign cost up to one and a half hundred million). Despite different approaches, the start was successful for both. Arne did not beat only Nottingham Forest. And there was a bright 2-2 draw on the field of Arsenal on Sunday. “The Seagulls” lost only to Chelsea, while sharing points with “the Gunners” and beat Tottenham, and they, generally speaking, look cheerful. Taking into account the higher mentioned conditions, a 2-2 result in the struggle with Wolverhampton already looks like a misfire.
As for the League Cup, the German’s wards smashed Crawley – 4-0. It was more difficult with Wolverhampton, but the team also beat the opponent – 3-2. “The Merseysiders” started a round later and thrashed only West Ham so far.

Both clubs are in good shape, but they are unlikely to play only for victory at any cost and with the optimal line-up. We expect “total: over 2.5” (odd: 1.61).
