Brighton & Hove Albion v Brentford FC - Premier League

Bournemouth will welcome Brighton & Hove Albion to the Vitality Stadium in the Premier League on Tuesday.

With two wins in their last three matches, Bournemouth seem to have gathered enough momentum to survive the relegation battle. What's impressive about those two victories is that it came against Liverpool and Fulham and that they showed a lot of character to eke out those wins.

But the two wins also bookended a 3-0 loss to Aston Villa, and it was a fair reflection of how the Cherries have oscillated between excellence and mediocrity this season.

Gary O'Neil's side are certainly navigating their best phase of the 2022-23 campaign, having picked up nine points from their last six outings to climb to 16th in the table.

They've also done a pretty decent job at home in the recent past. They've lost just one of their last five at the Vitality Stadium, a 4-1 defeat against reigning champions Manchester City.

Meanwhile, Brighton & Hove Albion will pull up at the Vitality on the back of a spectacular 3-3 draw against Brentford. The Seagulls went behind thrice but they bounced back each time to split the points with the Bees.

Brighton are aspiring to qualify for Europe this season and will look at Tuesday's trip to Bournemouth as an opportunity to get closer to achieving their dream.
