Liverpool vs Brighton Predictions
Liverpool tend to take control before the break at Anfield
Liverpool have led at half-time in five of their last eight matches across competitions. That early edge has become a recurring feature, particularly at Anfield, where the tempo often rises quickly and opponents are forced to react.
Last weekend brought a setback. Liverpool were 1-0 up against Manchester City in the 84th minute before conceding twice late on, with Dominik Szoboszlai sent off in controversial fashion. It was described as a hammer blow, especially given they had lost only one of their previous 16 matches before that defeat to the Citizens.
The response arrived in midweek with a win over Sunderland. In league play, the title race has drifted away with Liverpool detached from both Arsenal and Manchester City, which sharpens the focus on cup competitions. This FA Cup tie keeps silverware ambitions alive.
Brighton travel after back-to-back 1-0 defeats, first to rivals Crystal Palace and then to Aston Villa. They have won just two of their last 14 matches in all competitions and sit eight points above the relegation zone. Goals have been scarce, with only 12 scored in those 14 outings.
Liverpool were 2-0 winners over Brighton in December’s league meeting at Anfield. Brighton did eliminate Liverpool at this stage of the FA Cup three seasons ago, yet the current run of results paints a different picture. Arne Slot and Fabian Hurzeler are both under pressure, but the recent sequence shows Liverpool finding a response at home while Brighton struggle to build momentum.
Five half-time leads in eight games, a 2-0 home win in the latest head-to-head, and Brighton’s return of two wins in 14 fixtures align with Liverpool leading at the interval and maintaining that advantage to full-time at odds of 2.37.
Tip: Liverpool/Liverpool ( at N/A)
Wirtz carrying the shot volume and goal return
Florian Wirtz has recorded 13 shots on target across his last 13 appearances. Within that same stretch he has scored six goals, a steady return that reflects regular involvement in the final third.
His numbers have come as he settles into life at Liverpool, with performances that continue to catch the eye. Six goals in his last 12 matches underline that this is not a single-game spike but a sustained run.
Eight of the last nine meetings between Liverpool and Brighton have produced over 2.5 goals, and both teams have scored in six of the last seven head-to-heads. Four of Liverpool’s last five matches at Anfield have also seen both sides find the net. That wider scoring trend frames an open game, even though Brighton have managed only 12 goals in their last 14 outings.
A projected 3-1 home win fits those head-to-head patterns and keeps space for a Liverpool scorer within a high-scoring tie. Six goals from 13 shots on target in 13 games support Florian Wirtz to score anytime at odds of 3.40.
