Brighton have not won since the end of November and are 14th in the table
Burnley are 19th in the Premier League, six points from safety
Recommended bet: Brighton to win and over 2.5 goals
A run of six games without a victory has seen Brighton slide down the Premier League standings, but they can experience that winning feeling for the first time in over a month when struggling Burnley visit the Amex Stadium on Saturday.
The Seagulls picked up a point in an entertaining 2-2 draw against West Ham on Tuesday, the same night the Clarets were made to rue missed chances as they were beaten 3-1 at home by Newcastle.
While Albion may be just four places above the relegation zone, they are closer to the top four in terms of points than they are the bottom three and a morale-boosting victory could be coming their way at Burnley's expense.

Team news
Brighton are without the services of Stefanos Tzimas, Adam Webster and Solly March due to injury, while Mats Wieffer is doubtful because of a knock.
Carlos Baleba remains unavailable as he is participating at the Africa Cup of Nations.
Burnley's Maxime Esteve was forced off just 15 minutes into the defeat to Newcastle on Tuesday and he is unlikely to be ready for this trip to the South Coast, while Armando Broja turned his ankle late on in that loss and will need to be assessed.
Jordan Beyer, Josh Cullen, Joe Worrall, Connor Roberts and Zeki Amdouni remain in the treatment room, while Axel Tuanzebe, Hannibal Mejbri and Lyle Foster are all competing at AFCON.
The stats
Brighton are without a win in six games, drawing three and losing three, but the Seagulls have lost just once at the Amex Stadium in the league, collecting 16 points in total.

Burnley have the second-worst away record in the division, losing seven of their nine road assignments.

Prediction
It has been another tough return to the Premier League for Burnley and, unless they find a big improvement, especially in the final third, then they will be heading straight back down to the Championship.
Scott Parker's side created plenty of opportunities in the home defeat to Newcastle but, as has been the case this term, the Clarets lacked that killer instinct and were eventually made to pay.
The Clarets have plenty of absentees for this trip to the South Coast, due to injuries and international commitments, and the lack of strength in depth may end up costing them their place in the top-flight.
Away form has been a particular concern for the Lancashire outfit, who have lost seven of their nine road fixtures and picked up a miserly four points in the process.
Hosts Albion may have lost the winning feeling, as they are six matches without success following the draw at West Ham, but their recent performances have arguably deserved more points and they should have enough to overcome this struggling Burnley side.
The Seagulls have been beaten just once at home and their four wins at the Amex Stadium have all produced three goals.
