Leaders Face Stern Test

All eyes will be on the south coast to see if Liverpool can pass one of the Premier League's most underrated challenges. Only the best visitors emerge from the Amex with three points.

We can delve into the handicap market for the league leaders’ latest test knowing that this bet would have won every other Premier League match at the Amex Stadium this season. That makes best odds of 5/6 with Betfred on Brighton +2 goals irresistible.


The Seagulls are established as a really formidable team on their own patch - the very best outside of the ‘big six.’ Their home record in 2018-19 of W5 D3 L2 has only been punctured by narrow 1-2 defeats to Spurs and Chelsea.

That shows they are vulnerable against the very best but we’d have still won this wager on those occasions.

Liverpool are in a tricky phase after consecutive defeats in league and FA Cup. Both of those were understandable, for different reasons, but the pressure has still gone up a notch. They’d snap your hand off for a 1-2 victory, and that works for our purposes.
