Leicester vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction and betting tips on December 8, 2024

Game Prediction

Our prediction for the match Leicester vs Brighton & Hove Albion
“The Foxes” quite unexpectedly fell into the Championship in 2023. Still, there they managed to keep a considerable part of the main squad. And they guessed right with the bet on Maresca: the mentor ensured an early victory in this division and a fairly confident return to the Premier League. “The Seagulls” also invited the Italian specialist, De Zerbi. And it was thanks to his work that the club managed to debut in the European competitions a year ago. Still, the team, having won the group in the Europa League, immediately flew out of the play-offs. As for the EPL, it rolled back to 11th place in the spring.
Having let Roberto go (the coach had lost his motivation), the English club called in another young and promising foreigner, Fabian Hürzeler. Moreover, the management risked conducting a large-scale campaign to sign newcomers for tens of millions. It is remarkable that the “new Nagelsmann” has been reliable so far – the mentor and his footballers are fighting for a place in the European competitions (even for a position in the top 4). On the other hand, there are also the declines, for instance, the previous rounds brought only a draw in the struggle with the outsider, Southampton, and a failure in the battle against Fulham (1-3).
The newcomer started relatively well, with a draw against Tottenham, and there were even 2 victories in a row, over Bournemouth and Southampton, in October. Still, the following 4 rounds brought only 1 point and the club flew out of the League Cup. As a result, Steve Cooper left the coaching position he had taken in the summer. The footballers, by the way, celebrated this with a scandalous binge in Copenhagen. The new coach, van Nistelrooy, started with a crushing defeat to Brentford. Still, then the team took an important victory over West Ham.
