Brighton & Hove Albion are set to host AFC Bournemouth at the Amex Stadium on Tuesday, February 25, 2025, with kick-off scheduled for 7:30 PM UK time.
This encounter marks their second south-coast derby in just four days, following a resounding 4-0 victory over Southampton on Saturday. That triumph not only bolstered their morale but also kept them firmly in the race for European qualification. Notably, the Seagulls have reached the 40-point mark in the Premier League faster only once before, during the 2022/23 season.
The recent success against Southampton was Brighton’s third consecutive win across all competitions, a remarkable turnaround after the shocking 7-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest earlier this month. This resurgence highlights the team’s resilience and determination to maintain their upward trajectory.
While Brighton’s away form has been impressive, their performances at the Amex Stadium have been less consistent. They have secured just one victory in their last six home league matches, with three draws and two losses. However, when it comes to facing Bournemouth on home turf, the Seagulls have a favorable record, winning the last three encounters at the Amex. Additionally, this season, they remain unbeaten at home against teams currently positioned above them in the Premier League, recording two wins and two draws.
On the other hand, Bournemouth’s aspirations for European qualification suffered a setback with a 1-0 loss to Wolverhampton Wanderers on Saturday. The match’s turning point came shortly after they received their first red card of the league campaign. This defeat, their second in three league matches, has narrowed the gap between them and Brighton to just three points. Interestingly, the last instance of consecutive league defeats for Andoni Iraola’s side was back in November, when they fell to Brighton.
Despite this, the Cherries have reasons to be optimistic about their upcoming visit. They are currently enjoying a seven-match unbeaten streak in away league fixtures, comprising five wins and two draws. During this impressive run, Bournemouth have netted 20 goals, showcasing their attacking prowess on the road. Although they failed to score in two of their last three visits to the Amex, they have managed to find the net in eight of their previous ten trips to Brighton, securing two wins, four draws, and four losses.
Key players to watch in this fixture include Brighton’s João Pedro, who delivered a stellar performance against Southampton with a goal and an assist. Notably, each of his last five Premier League goals has been the team’s opening goal, including one in the November clash against Bournemouth. For the visitors, Marcus Tavernier stands out with five league assists this season, each contributing to matches where Bournemouth avoided defeat, resulting in four wins and one draw.
A statistical trend to consider is that in five of Brighton’s last six league games, only one team has managed to get on the scoresheet, resulting in four wins and two losses for the Seagulls. Similarly, three of Bournemouth’s last four matches have seen only one side scoring, leading to two wins and two losses for the Cherries.
As both teams prepare for this crucial encounter, Brighton will aim to capitalize on their recent momentum and home advantage to strengthen their European ambitions. Meanwhile, Bournemouth will look to extend their impressive away form and close the gap further in the league standings. With both sides having much at stake, fans can anticipate a fiercely contested and entertaining south-coast derby.
For those planning to tune in, the match will kick off at 7:30 PM UK time on Tuesday, February 25, 2025. Given the stakes and the form of both teams, this fixture promises to be a highlight in the Premier League calendar.
