Bournemouth vs Brighton match review, 9:00 p.m. September 13: Equal strength and equal talent

VHO - Comments on the match Bournemouth vs Brighton, round 4 of the Premier League, the match at Vitality is likely to end in a draw.

Bournemouth vs Brighton form

Bournemouth’s form since the start of the season has been on a sine wave. After each defeat, Andoni Iraola’s team reassured their fans with a 1-0 victory.

Overall, the results The Cherries are reaping are very good, especially when witnessing the summer transfer season 2025 took away from them 3 out of 4 important links in the defense line.

After a disappointing defeat to defending champions Liverpool in their opening game, Bournemouth won both of their next two games. The 1-0 away win against a high-spirited Tottenham was the most highly rated.

At first glance, fans might mistakenly think that Semenyo and his teammates' achievements were due to luck. However, in reality, reasonable tactics and flexible playing style were the key reasons that helped The Cherries leave with 3 well-deserved points.

Despite only having 39% possession, Bournemouth had 20 shots, 4 times more than their opponents. In all other sub-indicators such as expected goals, corners or dangerous chances, coach Iraola's players were superior to Tottenham.

Between two Premier League wins, Bournemouth were knocked out of the League Cup early by a 2-0 defeat to Brentford. But the early exit from the domestic second division cup competition probably won’t upset Vitality Stadium fans too much.

Coach Iraola and his team just need to continue to play consistently in the Premier League and finish in the top 10, that will be enough to create a successful season.

Although not facing a giant in round 4, this weekend's match still brings a difficult challenge for the home team. Because Brighton can be considered the nemesis of The Cherries.

In the last 3 seasons, the Seagulls have won 5 and lost only 1 when facing Bournemouth. In the first leg last season, also at Vitality, thanks to goals from Joao Pedro and Kaoru Mitoma, Brighton beat the home team 2-1, despite playing with only 10 men from the 60th minute.

The battle at Vitality promises to be an even match.

In addition to their outstanding head-to-head record, Brighton are also in great form. After only earning 1 point in the first two rounds against opponents considered weaker than them such as Everton or Fulham, coach Fabian Hurzeler and his team finally found their first victory.

Welcoming the top contender for the title, Man City, Brighton soon fell behind due to the overwhelming advantage of their opponents. However, a second-half comeback helped the Seagulls create an impressive comeback.

Defeating Man City 2-1, Brighton extended their winning streak to 2. Previously in the League Cup, Danny Welbeck and his teammates also crushed lower-ranked opponent Oxford United with a score of 6-0.

Brighton are only at a slight disadvantage in terms of the pitch. But that factor alone may not be enough to make the away team leave empty-handed.
