Brighton v Bournemouth: What the stats say

Brighton have won each of their last three home league games against Bournemouth, having been winless in their previous five against them beforehand (D3 L2).

In their first stint in the Premier League between 2015-16 and 2019-20, Bournemouth won four of their six meetings with Brighton (D1 L1). Since their return in 2022, they’ve lost four of their five against the Seagulls in the competition (W1).

Brighton have won both of their evening kick-offs (7pm or later) in the Premier League so far in 2025, beating Ipswich 2-0 and Chelsea 3-0. They didn’t win a single such match in the whole of 2024 (D6 L4), netting just five goals across those 10 games.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last 10 midweek (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) Premier League matches (D3 L7), though their last such defeat came against Brighton in April 2023 (0-2).

Brighton beat Chelsea 3-0 in their last Premier League home game, ending a run of five without a win at the Amex Stadium (D3 L2). They last won consecutive home league matches in September 2023, the second of which was against Bournemouth.

Bournemouth are unbeaten in their last seven Premier League away games, winning five and drawing two. The Cherries have scored at least twice in their last eight on the road, the longest run by a side in the competition since Liverpool between May and December 2021 (10).

Brighton have won their last two Premier League games, beating Chelsea 3-0 and Southampton 4-0. They last won three in a row in September 2023 (with the third game coming against Bournemouth), while they last did so without conceding in October 2018.

 Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma has been directly involved in more Premier League goals against Bournemouth than he has any other side (4 goals, 1 assist), either scoring or assisting a goal in all four of his league meetings with the Cherries.

Georginio Rutter has been directly involved in seven goals in his last eight appearances for Brighton in all competitions (6 goals, 1 assist), though five of these have come away from home.

Justin Kluivert has scored nine away goals in the Premier League this season, with all of these coming in his last seven appearances on the road in the competition. No Bournemouth player has ever scored 10 away goals in a single top-flight campaign.
