REVIEW Brighton & Hove Albion vs Manchester City
IDDAAKOLIK POST-MATCH REVIEW

Brighton & Hove Albion nicked a narrow win over Manchester City 2-1. It was 0-1 at half-time, meaning the result turned around in the second half.

A gentle 49% lean on Manchester City didn't survive contact with the match; margins like that flip all the time.

No strong lean on goals — the model had over 2.5 at 50% and both teams to score at 53%, coin-flips both. The market went further still — the BTTS-yes price closed at 1.50, about 67%.

The match data tells the story: Brighton & Hove Albion had 36% of the ball to Manchester City's 64%, shots finished 12-12, expected goals 2.30 to 1.82.

For context: across their last 6 meetings in our records, Manchester City led the recent series with 3 wins, 2 drawn. Those games averaged 1.17 goals for Brighton & Hove Albion and 2.17 for Manchester City.
