Brighton 11/8 to beat Bournemouth in Monday’s Premier League battle

Competition: Premier League

Market: Brighton to beat Bournemouth

Odds: 11/8 @ Bet365

The exceptionally busy festive schedule continues into the new year as every side in the Premier League is looking to start the year off with a victory. With the league well past the halfway point, teams will be looking at their remaining games and what they hope to achieve, and winning their first game of the year could start the side on a very positive run of form. With this in mind, Brighton host Bournemouth on Monday.

Brighton have looked good this season and they are battling to maintain the gap between themselves and the relegation zone. After 21 games they have won five, drawn seven and lost nine, scoring 15 goals and conceding 25. The 22 points they have collected means they are four points clear of the relegation zone, but they will want to improve their form as they have won just once in five, losing twice and drawing twice.

Bournemouth have been struggling massively this season and they are looking to embark on a positive run of form in order to drag themselves further away from the relegation zone. After 21 games they have won five, drawn five and lost 11, while they have scored 20 goals which is a fairly good record, but they have struggled at the back, conceding 32 times. The win in their last game saw them rise out of the relegation zone, and they will want to pick up some points quickly to keep the bottom three away. With all of this in mind, we are backing Brighton with odds of 11/8 from Bet365.
