Recent respective form guides

Brighton & Hove Albion have only performed averagely at home, winning 3 and losing 2 of their last six. The goals for column just outweighs the goals against over this period, 6 to 5.

The away form of Burnley is pretty dire, managing a paltry 2 draws from the last six matches. While the Clarets have hit 4 goals, 12 have hit the back of the wrong net.

Brighton & HA are hovering perilously just above the relegation zone, with 28 points from 30 matches. Burnley's 39 points from 30 games sees them lie inside the top half of the table, in 10th position.
