Brighton vs Leicester: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 31st March 2018
Kick off at 3pm BST
Venue: Amex Stadium

Match Preview:

Brighton’s 2-0 loss at Everton before the break brought the club back down to Earth after previously going on a superb run which included wins over Arsenal, Swansea and West Ham. They sit on 34 points and from the remaining 8 games will feel that two more wins could be enough to keep their Premier League status.

For Brighton it’s all about how good they have become at home, looking at just their games at AMEX Stadium they would be in 8th position and they have won their last 3 games in a row here.

Leicester’s last away game ended in a 4-1 win at bottom club West Brom but the Foxes will be reeling from going out of the FA Cup at the hands of Chelsea. The cup was keeping their season alive, though it has to be said they have impressed with their play for large chunks of the season.

Recent away form has been poor for Leicester with just 1 win in their past five games but they have had to face the likes of Chelsea, Manchester City and Liverpool.
