Match Details
Fixture: Brighton and Hove Albion vs Liverpool
Date: Monday 19 May 2025
Kick-off: 20:00 BST
Venue: AMEX Stadium
Our predictions for Brighton vs Liverpool
The match at the AMEX Stadium promises to be an exciting encounter. Brighton, despite their injury concerns, will be motivated to secure a European spot and will look to exploit their home advantage. Liverpool, having already clinched the title, might rotate their squad but will still aim to finish the season strongly.
Expect Brighton to start aggressively, looking to unsettle Liverpool early on. The Reds, however, have the quality to control the game and could use their experience to manage the match's tempo. The key will be how Brighton's makeshift defence copes with Liverpool's attacking threats.
Liverpool's depth and quality should see them through, but Brighton will make it a competitive game.
Match Prediction: Brighton 1-3 Liverpool

Head-to-Head Record
