Brighton, we have a problem. In the midweek rematch with Manchester City, Roberto De Zerbi’s team wrecked again, losing a very heavy 0-4 against the defending champions.
For the Seagulls it was the second consecutive embarkation at home, as three weeks ago it was the turn of Arsenal, another team that is fighting for the title, to stroll at the Amex Stadium (0-3). The problem, however, is that Brighton can no longer win even with opponents on paper within its reach: since the success with Nottingham Forest last March 10, Dunk and his teammates have scraped together only two points in five days, meanwhile also exiting the Europa League through Roma. The dream of qualifying for Europe for the second year in a row, in short, is evaporating week by week: following the collapse with City, the Seagulls have slipped to 11th place and the last valid to participate in a European competition, seventh, is six points away.
In England, they wonder whether this setback – mainly offensive, as Brighton have scored 2 goals in 5 matches while conceding 10 overall – depends on the fact that De Zerbi continues to lack clarity about his future, since in one of the latest interviews he glossed over renewal.
Brighton, which in the week was also overtaken by Bournemouth, victorious at home to Wolverhampton thanks to a goal by Semenyo (0-1). Already saved well in advance, Andoni Iraola’s Cherries are aiming to take more satisfaction, not having to deal with any kind of pressure. The Rossoneri are unbeaten in five matches at their stadium: since March, the only defeats have come on the road (Luton and Aston Villa).
The Prediction
Many absences, both on one side and the other. But this time it is Iraola who counts the most unavailable, as they will also be missing the disqualified Kerkez, who was sent off against Wolves. However, one cannot underestimate the excellent moment of the Cherries, who give their all especially in front of their audience. A positive result from them is likely in a match of at least one goal on each side.
