Brighton and Hove Albion have won 1 of their last 3 (DLW), while Manchester City have won 1 of 2 (WL). In their last 2 meetings, Brighton and Hove Albion won 1, Manchester City won 0 and 1 ended level. These are probabilities from past results, not guarantees: football upsets happen every week.
How this is worked out
Each club has an Elo rating that moves after every result (bigger wins move it more, home sides get a small boost). We turn the rating gap into expected goals and use a Poisson model to get win, draw and loss chances. The prediction is locked at kick-off and never edited.
Probabilities, not promises. For analysis and entertainment only. 18+.
