Bet of the Day: Brighton to edge low-scorer versus Stoke

Richard Marsh | 20.11.2017

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.

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.

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.

So a 2-1 victory for Chris Hughton’s men could be worth a look at 9/1.
