Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City prediction and betting tips on November 9, 2024
Game Prediction
On November 9, 2024, Brighton & Hove Albion will host Manchester City in the 11th round of the English Premier League. The young Brighton manager will look to spring some surprises against Guardiola.
Prediction for Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City
A year ago, the Seagulls made their Europa League debut and achieved success by winning their group. However, in 2024, they were eliminated in the first knockout round and have since slipped to 12th place in the Premier League, amid open speculation about De Zerbi’s departure.
Manchester City, the reigning Premier League champion, was unable to retain its Champions League title and also lost in their final cup match last season. Despite this, they managed to edge Arsenal to secure the league title by a few points.
This season has seen mixed results for the champions, who sold Alvarez and have been missing Rodri due to injury. They were quickly eliminated from the League Cup by Tottenham, won the Super Cup only on penalties, and have already dropped points in both the Premier League and Champions League. Recent losses to Bournemouth and Sporting Lisbon in consecutive key fixtures have further dented their momentum.
Newly appointed Brighton manager Hürzeler, who recently led St. Pauli to the Bundesliga, has made an immediate impact, winning August's Manager of the Month award and earning another nomination in October. Under his guidance, Brighton have been competitive, though they did let a two-goal lead slip against Wolverhampton and suffered losses to Liverpool in both the League Cup and Premier League (2-1).
