Manchester City is something like the team of the hour in England and has had numerous positive results in the past few weeks. The Skyblues are at a good level, especially the much-scolded defence has recently been very attentive and stable. That can be the key to greater success.

Before the game Manchester City vs Brighton, the odds of the best bookmakers show that the Skyblues are the clear favourites in the game against Brighton. The Seagulls are struggling with a difficult season and are individually clearly inferior. Of course, nothing has been decided in advance.

The game of the 18th matchday in the Premier League could ensure that Manchester City significantly improves its own position in the title fight. Kick-off at the Etihad Stadium is on Wednesday evening.

Manchester City – Statistics & Current Form

In the Champions League, Manchester City is on target, in the EFL Cup you are in the final. At the weekend, the team of coach Pep Guardiola solved the compulsory task in the FA Cup confidently, also in the championship things are looking better and better after three wins in a row. A short interim low seems to have been forgotten, the Citizens are on the rise.

This is also evident with the bookmakers. Because before the game Manchester City vs. Brighton, the betting odds show a clear favourite position for the host.

In addition, Brighton is now a real favourite opponent in the Etihad. The Seagulls have never won a league game at the Skyblues, Manchester City have also won the last six games in the league, scoring an impressive 20 goals against Brighton.

Manchester City want to stay tuned

A look at the Premier League table shows that Manchester City has already moved up to fifth. And that, although you still have a game or two up your sleeve. The last few weeks have been very successful, the defence is becoming more and more stable and de Bruyne, Torres and Co. are swirling very well in the offensive area.

Due to the Citizens’ shape curve, our tip before the game Manchester City vs. Brighton is that there will be over 2.5 goals in this game.

The stabilization of the defensive can also be proven statistically. In their last 13 league games, Manchester City have conceded just seven goals. That is the main reason for the upswing and the now greater chance of winning the Premier League title.

Eric Garcia is still sore, Sergio Agüero is in isolation. Otherwise, coach Guardiola can draw on the full potential and is spoiled for choice.

The probable lineup of Manchester City:
➤ Ederson – Walker, Laporte, Ruben Dias, Cancelo – Rodri, Gündogan, de Bruyne, Bernardo, Sterling – Gabriel Jesus

Brighton – Statistics & Current Form

The Seagulls are currently in completely different table regions than Manchester City. With 14 points from 17 games played so far, Brighton is only in 17th place, just above the relegation zone. And as already mentioned, guest appearances at Manchester City are usually no fun for the club. Brighton needs points – and urgently.

Coach Potter’s team actually plays very well. The structure is flat and orderly, the switching movement is often dangerous. But it is individual errors and inaccuracies in the last third that make life so difficult for the Seagulls.

Before the game Manchester City vs. Brighton, the odds show that the guests are the blatant outsider.

Brighton is hoping for the sensation

With the guests, you hope for a positive result at Manchester City, but you have to go beyond yourself and hope that the hosts will offer something. In the FA Cup at Newport, the Seagulls got away with a black eye, the current form is not great.

Eight league games in a row could not be won, so the four draws in the last five games are of little help. The situation is anything but good, the defensive wobbles again and again. Before the Manchester City v Brighton game, our prediction is that there will be over 2.5 goals.

It is positive that there are no failures to complain about. In addition, some players in the FA Cup were spared. At least there is some reason to be hopeful.

The probable lineup of Brighton:

➤ Ryan – Lamptey, Veltman, Dunk, Bernardo – Bissouma, Pröpper, March, MacAllister, Trossard – Maupay

Last matches from Brighton:

FA Cup
⚽️ 01/10 2021 Newport (3) 1 – 1 (4) Brighton
Premier League
⚽️ 01/02 2021 Brighton 3 – 3 Wolverhampton
⚽️ 12/29 2020 Brighton 0 – 1 Arsenal London
