Recent respective form guides

Brighton & Hove Albion's poor home run has seen them win just 1 and draw 2 of the last six. While Seagulls have scored 6, a worringly large 9 have been leaked at the other end.

Burnley's away form is none too clever either, losing only 1 of the last six, but drawing 4 of them. Only 3 goals have been registered in this time, with 5 leaked at the wrong end.

Brighton & HA find themselves struggling down in 18th position in the league having picked up 22 points from their 19 matches. Burnley see themselves just below half way in the Coca-Cola Championship, showing a record of 24 points from their 19 games played so far,
