Why Over 2.5 fits the matchup
Why the pick makes sense
- Both teams will be dealing with fatigue, and Bournemouth's defense will be makeshift due to suspensions and injuries.

Team profiles
Brighton home
Brighton is once again competing for European qualification this season. Young German coach Fabian Hürzeler has done an impressive job despite a squad overhaul. The Seagulls currently sit ninth in the Premier League with 40 points, just four points off the top four. Over the weekend, Brighton secured a dominant 4-0 away win over Southampton. Before that, they pulled off a stunning 3-0 victory at home against Chelsea but also suffered an uncharacteristic 0-7 defeat at Nottingham Forest. The only concern for Brighton fans is their inconsistent home form, with just one win in their last five matches at the Amex. Read also: Angers vs Reims Coupe de France prediction
Bournemouth away
Bournemouth has been one of the biggest surprises in European football this season. Under Andoni Iraola, the Cherries have impressed with their well-structured, compact play and aggressive attacking style. With 43 points, they currently sit sixth in the Premier League, just one point away from the top four. In the previous round, Bournemouth suffered an unexpected 0-1 home loss to Wolves, largely due to going down to 10 men in the first half following a reckless foul by key center-back Illia Zabarnyi. Before that, the Cherries beat Southampton 3-1, lost 0-2 to Liverpool, and pulled off a stunning 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest. You’ll find our review of quite useful.
