Brighton & Hove Albion vs Bournemouth prediction, odds & betting tips 19/01/2026

Should Brighton & Hove Albion get the better of visitors Bournemouth at the Amex Stadium on Monday, they could significantly boost their chances of securing one of the Premier League‘s European spots.

The Seagulls are 11th with 29 points, and they are only seven points from fourth-placed Liverpool with a game in hand, whereas the Cherries are 15th with 26 points following a particularly poor period of results, though they did get the better of Tottenham Hotspur last time out in the league on January 7.

Brighton & Hove Albion vs Bournemouth prediction: A game of goals?

Key stats

• Brighton have scored at least two goals in six of their last 11 games in all competitions.
• Bournemouth have conceded at least twice in 10 of their past 13 matches in all competitions.
• The visitors' last nine away games have all featured over 3.5 goals.

Correct score prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 3-2 Bournemouth

Given Bournemouth's away fixtures have often been frantic affairs, it would not be surprising if Monday's clash was similarly chaotic, with numerous goals scored.

Considering the Cherries have been so vulnerable defensively, Brighton should be looking to take advantage of their opponents, especially as they are at the Amex Stadium.

Brighton & Hove Albion preview: Finding their feet

Seagulls boss Fabian Hurzeler has overseen an unbeaten period of four games – they won twice in that time – and the head coach engineered a 2-1 victory against Manchester United in the third round of the FA Cup on January 11.

While it is hard to predict who will play given Hurzeler revealed that some of his players have fallen ill, the potential return of Yankuba Minteh to the XI would be a significant boost.

Predicted lineup: Verbruggen (GK), Veltman, Dunk, Van Hecke, De Cuyper, Ayari, Gross, Minteh, Gomez, Mitoma & Rutter

Last five results:

• Manchester United 1-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
• Manchester City 1-1 Brighton & Hove Albion
• Brighton & Hove Albion 2-0 Burnley
• West Ham United 2-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
• Arsenal 2-1 Brighton & Hove Albion

Bournemouth preview: Can the Cherries build on their win?

Andoni Iraola's side beat Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 on January 7, and that was their first victory in the Premier League in 12 matches.

Antoine Semenyo's exit from the forward line will be damaging to Bournemouth, and they must hope that the likes of Alex Jimenez can fill the void left by the winger.

Predicted lineup: Petrovic (GK), Smith, Hill, Senesi, Truffert, Scott, Cook, Jimenez, Kroupi, Tavernier & Evanilson

Last five results:

• Newcastle United 3-3 Bournemouth
• Bournemouth 3-2 Tottenham Hotspur
• Bournemouth 2-3 Arsenal
• Chelsea 2-2 Bournemouth
• Brentford 4-1 Bournemouth

Player to watch: Yankuba Minteh

If Yankuba Minteh is selected in the starting XI, his pace, dribbling ability and attacking instincts could help Brighton get the better of Bournemouth.

The winger has scored one goal and provided four assists in the Premier League this season, but the 21-year-old is always a threat in behind opposition defences, so it would not be surprising if he was the difference between one and three points.
