Before the break, these two teams enjoyed incredible successes: Bournemouth won away at Tottenham, while Brighton beat Manchester City at home. In short, total ecstasy, but now it’s time to come back down to earth and keep their feet on the ground.
The two coaches will have told their players the same thing. The goal for both teams is still far from being achieved, and it is better to think about what lies ahead. This match is open to any result because, on the one hand, there is a team playing at home and therefore likely to be spurred on by its fans, and on the other, there is a club that took six points in two Premier League games last year, demonstrating its superior technical qualities. In short, the balance is even.
That said, and looking not only at what happened last season but also at what the two teams have shown in their first two games, there is a solution to all the doubts. Let’s take a look at it together in our prediction.

The prediction
Yes, a draw is definitely the most likely outcome in this match. But what is certain, or at least how we see it, is that both teams should find the back of the net. The last few matches before the break, mentioned above, were approached with a decidedly different spirit. In this match, the usual attitude will emerge, with defenses ready to concede something in order to win. And so, GOALS.
