Brighton have won their last four home Premier League games against Bournemouth

Recommended bet: Brighton to win and both teams to score
Following a positive start to the season, Bournemouth have endured a tricky spell of late as Andoni Iraola’s side prepare for Monday’s trip to a Brighton side buoyed by an FA Cup win at Old Trafford.
While the Cherries did manage a 3-2 home win over Tottenham in their last Premier League outing, that was Bournemouth’s only victory in their last 12 games in the top flight.
The loss of star striker Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City in the January transfer window will take some getting used to and now the Cherries head to an unhappy hunting ground at the Amex in the Monday Night Football.

Prediction
Considering the contrasting home and away records for Brighton and Bournemouth, it is hard to look past Fabian Hurzeler’s Seagulls claiming all three points in this one.
Games between these sides have tended to throw up plenty of goals in the past and these attacking teams might well put on a show on the south coast.
