Brighton vs Liverpool prediction, stats, tips and team news | OneFootball

Brighton and Hove Albion host Liverpool at the Amex Stadium on Monday 19th May at 8pm in what could be a big game for Seagulls in their race to finish eighth and potentially secure Conference League football next season. Liverpool have already secured the Premier League title, with this end of the season period now allowing Arne Slot to assess his squad depth ahead of the new campaign a few weeks early, making changes to his starting XI. This game will be broadcast live on Sky Sports Premier League.

BTTS (19/40 with Betway)

Both teams have scored in each of their last five fixtures between these two sides. Liverpool are likely to continue making slight adjustments to their lineups for the final games, perhaps leaving them slightly more fragile defensively.

Mo Salah to assist anytime

With Mo Salah still two assists away from levelling the assist record in the Premier League (20) and becoming the second player to both score and assist 20+ goals in a Premier League season, you can expect the Egyptian to be up for it.

How both teams go into Brighton vs Liverpool

Brighton have been in a fairly poor run of form as of late, only winning once in their last six games. However, heading into the final weeks of the season, Fabian Hurzeler’s side could still finish eighth. This could be enough to qualify for Conference League football should Manchester City win the FA Cup and Newcastle United finish in the top six. With both Man City and Newcastle qualifying for a higher form of European football in this instance, Conference League qualification would drop to the side eighth in the Premier League.

Liverpool, on the other hand, are just slowly beginning to take their foot off the gas, losing two of their last six games in the Premier League. Slot’s side were declared champions after their 5-1 victory at Anfield against Tottenham Hotspur at the end of April, which now gives the Liverpool manager a bit of freedom to experiment with his selections. He can give certain individuals more of a chance at the back end of this campaign ahead of the 2025-26 season.

Brighton team news

Brighton will be without Ferdi Kadioglu, Georginio Rutter and James Milner through injury. Kaoru Mitoma and Solly March may return from their injuries ahead of this game.

Liverpool team news

Joe Gomes is the only player Arne Slot will be without for this fixture, with the rest of his squad currently fit and available for selection.

Brighton vs Liverpool head-to-head

Liverpool have won three of the last five meetings, with Brighton winning once and the other game ending in a 2-2 draw.
