July 2024 · 2 minute read
  • After a 10-game winless run in the league against Bournemouth between 2010 and 2019 (D4 L6), Brighton have now won three of their last four against the Cherries (L1).

  • Bournemouth have won just two of their last 16 away league games against Brighton (D6 L8), winning 2-0 in April 2015 in the Championship and 5-0 in the Premier League in April 2019.

  • Brighton's Premier League games have seen more goals than any other side's this season (22), with the Seagulls the highest scorers in the league so far (15). They've both scored and conceded in each of their last nine top-flight games, while they've scored in each of their last 21 in the competition.

  • Brighton are looking to win three consecutive Premier League games for the first time since October 2018 under Chris Hughton. Since that run of three, they've won two in a row on 16 different occasions, including twice so far this season.

  • Bournemouth are without a win in nine Premier League games, the longest ongoing run of any side currently in the competition (D3 L6). This is the first time they've been winless in their first five league games of a season since 2008-09, when they failed to win any of their first six in League Two.

  • Brighton have overperformed their expected goals more than any other side in the Premier League this season, netting 15 goals from an xG of 10.7 so far.

  • Brighton have had more shots following a high turnover than any other side in the Premier League this season (14), while only Wolves (15) have faced more such attempts than Bournemouth so far (11).

  • Pascal Groß has created six chances for Brighton teammate João Pedro in the Premier League this season, the most one player has created for another so far. However, none of the 16 chances Groß has created for his teammates overall this season in the league have been converted.

  • No defender has created more chances (12) or provided more assists (2) in the Premier League this season than Brighton's Pervis Estupiñán. Teammate Tariq Lamptey has also provided two assists from full-back this season, both in the Seagulls' 3-1 win over Manchester United last time out.

  • Since the start of last season, Bournemouth's Neto has the fifth-best save percentage (72.4%) of any goalkeeper to play at least 10 Premier League games. He saved all six shots on target he faced against Chelsea last time out.
