Brighton vs Leicester Odds

Date: 12/04/25
Kick-off time: 15:00
Venue: Amex Stadium

Brighton are set to face Leicester City in a Premier League clash on Saturday, at the Amex Stadium. Brighton, in ninth place with 47 points from 31 matches, will be hoping to bounce back from recent setbacks, while Leicester City, languishing in 19th place with just 17 points, are fighting to avoid relegation. The game is poised to be an exciting encounter, with Brighton heavy favourites to secure the three points at home.

With Leicester City’s poor form, this fixture promises to be a challenging one for the Foxes. Brighton will be keen to maintain their push for European football next season, while Leicester’s survival hopes continue to diminish.

Brighton v Leicester City Team News

In terms of team news, Brighton & Hove Albion will be missing several key players for this fixture. Jan Paul van Hecke is suspended, and the Seagulls will also be without Igor, Ferdi Kadioglu, Tariq Lamptey, Joel Veltman, Adam Webster, and Georginio Rutter due to injury concerns. Despite these absences, Brighton’s squad depth will still be a key advantage as they look to secure a much-needed victory.

For Leicester City, Issahaku Fatawu remains a doubt for their trip to Brighton, while Harry Winks’ situation is still up in the air after being dropped for Leicester’s last match due to a fallout with manager Ruud van Nistelrooy. Leicester’s poor form continues to plague them, and it’s unclear how they will fare without a fully-fit squad.

Brighton vs Leicester Betting Tips

When analysing Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester City betting tips, the clear favourite in this encounter is Brighton. The Seagulls have been solid throughout the season, securing crucial victories and maintaining consistency in the mid-table. Leicester, however, are in disarray, with only three wins in their last 20 matches under manager Ruud van Nistelrooy.

Brighton have demonstrated strength in attacking areas and will be hoping to exploit Leicester’s defensive vulnerabilities. The Foxes’ away record has been abysmal, with just eight points earned from 15 matches and a dismal goal-scoring tally of 13. They have failed to score in seven of those away matches, which makes Brighton’s defence a relatively safe bet for this match.

For Brighton to secure all three points, betting on a home win for the Seagulls is a solid option, especially considering Leicester’s woes in both defence and attack. Additionally, Brighton’s attacking threat, led by João Pedro, could see them score at least twice, making a Brighton over 1.5 goals a promising wager.

Brighton v Leicester Match Predictions

Our Brighton & Hove v Leicester City prediction suggests that Brighton & Hove Albion will secure a comfortable victory against Leicester City. Despite Brighton’s recent losses, their quality and overall superior squad make them heavy favourites. The Foxes are struggling, especially on their travels, and their lack of consistency under van Nistelrooy means they are likely to suffer another defeat.

We predict a victory for Brighton in this match, with Leicester City finding it hard to break down the Seagulls’ defence, which has been relatively strong throughout the campaign. Brighton’s attacking prowess, coupled with Leicester’s leaky defence, should make this a one-sided affair.

Match Prediction: Brighton to win. Bet with bet365.

Brighton v Leicester Correct Score Tips & Predictions

For the Brighton vs Leicester correct score prediction, we expect a 2-0 win for Brighton & Hove Albion against Leicester City. Brighton’s recent form suggests they are capable of scoring a couple of goals at home, and with Leicester’s struggles in attack, it’s unlikely they will score. Brighton’s solid defence, alongside Leicester’s inability to find the net away from home, points to a comfortable victory for the Seagulls.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Brighton. Bet with bet365.

Brighton v Leicester City Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

Looking at the Brighton & Hove Albion vs Leicester over/under goals prediction, the most likely outcome is under 2.5 goals. Given Leicester’s recent struggles to score, combined with Brighton’s solid defensive record at home, it is reasonable to expect a low-scoring affair. Brighton have kept three clean sheets in their last five home matches, and Leicester’s scoring woes mean they are unlikely to threaten significantly in this match.

Betting on under 2.5 goals seems like a safe bet for this encounter, particularly given Leicester’s inability to score on the road and Brighton’s defensive stability.

Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Brighton & Hove vs Leicester Bet Builder Tip

In the Brighton v Leicester City Bet Builder market, Brighton’s João Pedro is a key player to consider for an anytime scorer. The Brazilian forward has been in excellent form for Brighton this season and will be looking to add to his tally against Leicester. Given the Foxes’ defensive frailties, João Pedro’s ability to find the back of the net makes him a solid choice for a goal at any time during the match.

Combining a Brighton win with João Pedro to score anytime in a Bet Builder could yield excellent value, particularly as Leicester’s defence continues to leak goals.

Bet Builder Tip: Brighton to win, under 2.5 goals, and João Pedro to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
