Team Analysis
Brighton has been in impressive form this season, currently sitting in sixth place in the Premier League. Despite some injury issues with key players like Milner, Minte, and Joao Pedro unavailable, the Seagulls have shown remarkable resilience. Their attack has been particularly potent, with Jorginho Rutter and Danny Welbeck contributing significantly to their scoring tally. Brighton has only lost once this season to Chelsea and has already registered victories over Wolverhampton and Crawley Town in the League Cup.

Under Arne Slot, Liverpool has had a strong start to the season, securing results against tough opponents like Chelsea and Arsenal. The Reds have been dealing with their own injury concerns, with players such as Bradley, Elliot, and Jota sidelined. Nonetheless, Liverpool has shown depth, with Kelleher stepping in confidently for Alisson. The team has been prolific in attack, highlighted by their 5-1 victory over West Ham in the League Cup.

Head-to-Head
In the last five encounters, Brighton has been a challenging opponent for Liverpool. The Reds have only managed one victory, with Brighton eliminating them from the FA Cup last season. Given this history, Brighton might feel optimistic about their chances.

Prediction
Both Brighton and Liverpool have strong offensive capabilities, suggesting a high-scoring match. Given the attacking prowess on both sides and potential defensive rotations, the match is predicted to exceed 2.5 total goals. Additionally, with both teams averaging over 5 corners per game, expect more than 9.5 corners during this match. A 2-2 draw could be a realistic outcome as both teams are likely to find the net, maintaining their offensive momentum.

Pick: Over 2.5 goals
