Manchester City vs Brighton & Hove Albion prediction, odds and betting offer
Manchester City are just one point ahead of Brighton ahead of this intriguing Premier League clash, with both teams vying for a spot in next year's Champions League
by Tom Phillips · The MirrorManchester City will host Brighton in a crucial Premier League clash on Saturday, with significant implications for the race to qualify for the Champions League.
Defending champions Manchester City currently sit fifth in the league, just one point ahead of an in-form Brighton team. City’s recent form has been disappointing, with their most recent outing resulting in a 1-0 loss to Nottingham Forest. Pep Guardiola has referred to the remaining matches as "ten finals," highlighting the pressure they are under to secure a strong finish to the season.
Brighton, on the other hand, is enjoying an impressive run of form, having won their last four league matches following a heavy 7-0 defeat to Forest in February. They secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Fulham last weekend and will head to the Etihad Stadium with plenty of confidence.
Rodri had been expected to miss the rest of the season when he suffered a major knee injury against Arsenal towards the start of the campaign. However, the Spaniard has made excellent progress in his recovery. There is now a strong chance that the midfielder will be available for selection before the season concludes.
This promises to be a highly competitive encounter, with both teams battling for vital points in the push for European qualification.
The match kicks off at 3pm on Saturday, March 15.
