- 布莱顿四号；最近六场联赛至少进了四个球
- 两队都在曼城的8场比赛中得分；最近九场联赛
- 布莱顿在本赛季的五场主场联赛中，有四场至少进了两球
城市必须回到正轨
曼城几乎没有时间从他们在里斯本竞技4-1的冠军联赛失利中恢复过来，在输掉了最后三场比赛后，他们周六前往布莱顿的旅程可能变得更加困难。
托特纳姆和伯恩茅斯都战胜了瓜迪奥拉；在过去的两周里，曼城队一直在努力，但在巴隆缺席的情况下，曼城队已经取得了进球；或者是胜利者罗德里，而进球机埃尔林·哈兰德在他最近六场国内比赛中只打了一场。
他在葡萄牙的点球失误可能也影响了他的信心水平，但曼城似乎会努力摆脱低迷，对南海岸的访问持积极态度。
人们很容易忘记，他们上周在伯恩茅斯以2比1失利是他们本赛季联赛中的第一场失利，他们在过去的十场联赛客场比赛中有八场至少进了两个球，所以这显然不是；现在还不是恐慌的时候，但瓜迪奥拉将热衷于发表声明，而且以一种奇怪的方式，这可能会对布莱顿产生影响；的手。
海鸥应该是积极的
在主教练法比安·赫泽勒的带领下，海鸥队已经成为一支极具娱乐性的球队，但也不可预测，这是他们性格中的一个元素，在最近两场主场比赛中得到了体现。
他们很差，然后从两个进球中恢复过来，以3比2击败托特纳姆热刺队，然后让狼队带着两个迟到的进球回来，以2比2战平，当时阿尔比恩似乎完全控制了这支没有胜利的中部球队。
他们应该受到鼓舞，因为曼城两支球队都在曼城队中找到了网，只有一支球队除外；自从他们在首周末以2比0战胜切尔西以来，他们已经打了9场联赛，主场观众可能会奋起直追，因此在比赛中支持超过3.5个进球是有意义的，而正确的得分爱好者可能会以两位数的价格支持2比2战平。
Kovacic获胜；射击时不要害羞
哈兰德从低谷中走出来只是时间问题，但曼城中场球员马泰奥·科瓦契奇是一个有趣的任何时候的射手选择。
克罗地亚人不得不在罗德里承担额外的责任；科瓦契奇因伤缺席，但他也在最后三分之一的比赛中表现出色，除了这位挪威前锋之外，没有任何曼城球员的联赛进球次数超过科瓦契奇；他的记录是19。
他在过去的六场联赛中的五场比赛中做出了多次努力，并在曼城打进了两球；他最近以3比2战胜富勒姆，所以他值得付出巨大的代价来增加自己的得分。
预言：
超过3.5个比赛进球
平局2-2
Mateo Kovacic随时得分
外文原文如下：
- Four of Brighton’s last six league matches have featured at least four goals
- Both teams have scored in eight of Manchester City’s last nine league games
- Brighton have scored at least twice in four of their five home league outings this term
City have to get back in the groove
Manchester City have had little time to pick themselves up from their 4-1 Champions League humbling at Sporting Lisbon and having lost their last three matches, their Saturday trip to Brighton has perhaps become more difficult.
Tottenham and Bournemouth have both got the better of Pep Guardiola’s side in the last fortnight but City are shipping goals in the absence of Ballon d’Or winner Rodri, while goal machine Erling Haaland has hit the target in just one of his last six domestic matches.
His penalty miss in Portugal may have also affected his confidence level but it seems likely that City will try and smash their way out of their slump and be positive on their visit to the south coast.
It is easy to forget that their 2-1 loss at Bournemouth last week was their first in the league this season and they have scored at least two goals in eight of their last ten league away matches, so it plainly isn’t time to panic yet, but Guardiola will be keen to make a statement and, in a curious way, that could play into Brighton’s hands.
Seagulls should be positive
The Seagulls have become a highly entertaining outfit under manager Fabian Hurzeler but also unpredictable, an element of their character which was exposed in their last two home games.
They were poor before recovering from two goals down to beat Tottenham 3-2 and then allowed Wolves to come back with two late goals to earn a 2-2 draw when Albion seemed in complete control against the winless Midlands outfit.
They should be encourage by the fact City both teams have found the net in all but one of City’s nine league games since their 2-0 win at Chelsea on the opening weekend and the home crowd could rise to the occasion, so it makes sense to back more than 3.5 goals in the game, while correct-score enthusiasts may be tempted to back a 2-2 draw at a double-figure price.
Kovacic won’t be shy in shooting
It is only a matter of time before Haaland rises from his slump, but City midfielder Mateo Kovacic is an interesting anytime-goalscorer option.
The Croatian has had to take on extra responsibility in Rodri’s injury absence, but he has also made his mark in the final third and no City player other than the Norwegian striker has had more league goal attempts than Kovacic’s tally of 19.
He has had multiple efforts in five of his last six league outings and scored twice in City’s recent 3-2 win over Fulham, so he is worth chancing at a big price to increase his tally.
Predictions:Over 3.5 Match Goals
Draw 2-2
Mateo Kovacic To Score Anytime
