Following their 7-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Hove Albion have won each of their last three Premier League games; their longest run since September 2023. Indeed, tonight was their 50th home Premier League victory.
After one win in their first six Premier League encounters with Bournemouth (D1 L4), Brighton and Hove Albion have won five of their last six league matches against the Cherries (L1).
Bournemouth conceded their 499th and 500th Premier League goals against Brighton and Hove Albion in their 293rd game, doing so in fewer games than any other side in the competition’s history.
Brighton have won each of their last three home league games against Bournemouth, having been winless in their previous five against them beforehand (D3 L2).
In their first stint in the Premier League between 2015-16 and 2019-20, Bournemouth won four of their six meetings with Brighton (D1 L1). Since their return in 2022, they’ve lost four of their five against the Seagulls in the competition (W1).
Brighton have won both of their evening kick-offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League so far in 2025, beating Ipswich 2-0 and Chelsea 3-0. They didn’t win a single such match in the whole of 2024 (D6 L4), netting just five goals across those 10 games.
Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last 10 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League matches (D3 L7), though their last such defeat came against Brighton in April 2023 (0-2).
Brighton beat Chelsea 3-0 in their last Premier League home game, ending a run of five without a win at the Amex Stadium (D3 L2). They last won consecutive home league matches in September 2023, the second of which was against Bournemouth.
