Brighton vs Liverpool: Backing Consistent Performers & Continuing Trends On Super Sunday

Darwin Nunez Anytime Goalscorer

With Diogo Jota and Cody Gakpo missing out due to various reasons, Darwin Nunez will be expected to start on Sunday afternoon. The Uruguayan has scored three times in the Premier League this season, a goal coming every 74 minutes on average.

The prices for goals in this clash are low, as you’d expect, with over 3.5 goals is best priced at 1.96, BTTS no higher than 1.38, whilst each individual team is expected, by the bookies, to score at least twice.

Liverpool’s fan favourite is priced at 2.50 to score, something that does appeal. Yes, he’s not the consistent finisher and doesn’t always convert the more straightforward types of chances, but when there’s action, you always see him amongst it.

Only the current bottom three have conceded more than the Seagulls. They’re without a clean sheet and just shipped six at Villa Park. Goals are expected in their numbers, and I expect Darwin Nunez to find the back of the net.

Pervis Estupinan Over 0.5 Shots

The consistent Colombian, Brighton’s Pervis Estupinan, has been a regular contributor to his side shot statistics this campaign, as he’s registered an attempt in five of his six outings so far.

Brighton’s left-back had a nightmare at Villa Park last Saturday. He scored an own goal and was subbed during the break, although he did manage an attempt on target, which he should’ve scored.
Pervis also managed shots against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in the EFL Cup and at home against AEK Athens in the Europa League. Since the campaign’s opening day, this selection has cashed in seven matches from eight. Impressive.

Brighton Over 0.5 Goals

It’d be brave and probably a little stupid if you were to back Brighton not to score in any game against anyone. Their record is remarkably strong. De Zerbi’s side has now found the back of the net in 23 consecutive matches in the top flight.

Liverpool’s defensive issues are clear, although they have seemed to improve over recent times. Having Alisson between the sticks is an almighty blessing. I assume there aren’t many disagreements when labelling the Brazilian as the best goalkeeper in the country, and there’s certainly a case that he’s been the best in the world for the last number of years.

Klopp’s men have kept just a single clean sheet this season, which came at Anfield against Aston Villa. Since the beginning of last season, Liverpool has conceded 35 times in 23 away matches, with a lowly five clean sheets coming in that time. Brighton scoring just seems a no-brainer, right?
