Brighton & Hove Albion vs Burnley Prediction

Brighton & Hove Albion have won only one league game this season, and have to start turning positive performances into results.

Tariq Lamptey, Ben White and Yves Bissouma have all impressed, but no wins in their last five games represent a poor return, and manager Graham Potter will be keen to turn that around.

Burnley, on the other hand, are yet to win a game in the league and sit at the bottom of the league table. Dyche has done an impressive job as the manager overall, but little investment in the summer and an ageing squad to work with could prove to be problematic.

Brighton & Hove Albion have good metrics and have produced some fine performances this season. A victory against Burnley is the likely outcome.

Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 Burnley
