Bet of the Day: Brighton to edge low-scorer versus Stoke
Published:
Seagulls are solid on home soil
Monday night’s Premier League action comes from the South Coast where Brighton & Hove Albion host Stoke City.
It’s a fixture both teams will fancy they can win, which should lead to an intriguing encounter.
The Seagulls are enjoying life in the top-tier, and have collected 15 points from their 11 games.
They’ve lost just one at home this season – to Manchester City.
And with Stoke winning just once on the road this season, Coral’s Bet of the Day is Brighton to win at 11/8.
Goals in short supply
This is a game Mark Hughes will have pinpointed as a potential win, but the Potters haven’t faired well on the road.
They’ve won only three away games in 2017, a dismal record. And though they beat Watford at Vicarage Road last time, the Hornets dominated the game.
Brighton’s games have averaged just two goals this season, so a low-scoring home win beckons.
The Seagulls are 10/3 to win with under 2.5 goals scored, while a Brighton win and under 3.5 goals is 15/8.
Correct scores
Brighton have netted exactly once in each of their last three matches, and a 1-0 victory looks good with Coral at 11/2.
But despite their struggles away from home, Stoke have scored in nine of their 11 league games this season.
All odds and markets are correct as of the date of publishing.
