Command Analysis
Brighton & Hove Albion
EnglandCurrent Form
Brighton started the season strong, impressing fans with their performance and results, but have gradually lost momentum. While they haven't faced complete failure, it’s important to note that in their last five matches across all competitions, the Seagulls have managed just one victory, defeating Wolverhampton in the League Cup 3-2. In the most recent Premier League round, they struggled against Chelsea, particularly with Palmer, who netted four goals within the first 20 minutes of play, resulting in a 2-4 defeat. Though the team under Fabian Hurzeler can’t be criticized entirely, persistent defensive lapses frequently lead to disappointments, as they have conceded eight goals in just six matches.
