THE PREDICTION
Their 1-0 defeat at the hands of West Brom last weekend have Brighton now looking nervously over their shoulders at the bottom three closing in on them. It is vital that the Seagulls get something from this home match vs a stuttering Leicester. Whilst the Foxes remain third in the Premier League, injuries have had a big impact on their last two games which have seen them pick up just one point. The biggest issue for Brighton in recent matches has been going forward, with Graham Potter’s side scoring just once in their last four fixtures in all competitions. One of those encounters was an FA Cup tie away at Leicester that ended 1-0 to the Foxes following a last-minute winner. A similarly tight contest is expected here with little in the way of goalmouth action. Therefore, under 2.5 goals scored has to be favoured.
