Brighton & Hove Albion vs AFC Bournemouth Preview

Brighton & Hove Albion welcome AFC Bournemouth to the American Express Stadium on Monday evening with the hosts carrying positive momentum into this fixture. Brighton secured a 2-1 away victory at Manchester United in the FA Cup in their most recent outing, maintaining an unbeaten run across their last four matches with two wins and two draws from their last five fixtures. Bournemouth, meanwhile, exited the FA Cup following a 3-3 draw at Newcastle that was decided on penalties, extending a disappointing sequence that has delivered just one victory from their last five matches alongside three defeats and one draw.

Brighton’s form demonstrates solid consistency with their 1-1 away draw at Manchester City complementing victories of 2-0 at home to Burnley. They also secured a 2-2 away draw at West Ham before suffering a 2-1 away defeat at Arsenal. Bournemouth’s struggles are apparent across their recent fixtures with their 3-2 home win over Tottenham representing their only success. They lost 3-2 at home to Arsenal and 4-1 away at Brentford, while also managing a 2-2 away draw at Chelsea.

The head-to-head record slightly favours Brighton with three wins from the last five meetings compared to Bournemouth’s two victories. Brighton won 2-1 at home in February 2025 and claimed a 2-1 away triumph in November 2024. They also secured a 3-1 home victory in September 2023.
