Who will win Brighton & Hove Albion vs. Burnley?

Brighton have alternated between defeats and draws since beating Nottingham Forest 2-0 back on November 30, and after a month of frustration, they will be desperate to get back on track.

In fairness to the Seagulls, they came close to beating West Ham at the end of 2025, but Danny Welbeck missed a vital penalty at the London Stadium.

As for Burnley, they made progress by ending their seven-game losing streak with consecutive draws against Bournemouth and Everton in late December, but it remains to be seen whether losing to Newcastle last time out will set them back.

The Clarets have performed better than results suggest at times this season, but lacklustre finishing has repeatedly let the promoted side down in recent weeks, and they will need to make the most of their opportunities if they are to have any chance on Saturday.

Brighton head into this contest as favourites despite their own poor form, and though spectators should be treated to a close-fought clash, the hosts may narrowly come out on top.
