Brighton vs Bristol City Betting Tips and Odds

Brighton are understandably huge odds-on favourites to seal the title with a home win against Bristol City. Betfair are offering 8/13 on a home win, while the draw is a best price of 10/3 with William Hill. Bristol City are as high as 24/5 with Betfair.

Reason: League leaders Brighton have enjoyed a fantastic year at the Amex Stadium and a home win is nothing less than they deserve to seal the title.

Team News

With the exception of Connor Goldson, who has not given up hope of a return despite undergoing heart surgery, Chris Hughton has a full-strength squad to choose from. Shane Duffy is back in contention in defence, while Biram Kayal and Tomer Hemed could return to the starting line-up after being rested for the defeat to Norwich.

Key Man

Glenn Murray has scored 22 times in 45 games in all competitions this season, as well as assisting another eight.

Team Form

Brighton's hopes of sealing the title last Friday night were ended by a 2-0 defeat at Norwich City - a loss which also ended a five-match winning run. Their last home game ended in a 2-1 win against struggling Wigan, while they have also beaten Birmingham and Blackburn at home this year.

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Team News

Milan Djuric was back on the bench for Bristol City's 3-2 win at home to Barnsley, and Lee Johnson has a full-strength team to choose from for their trip to face the league leaders. Having stuck with a settled starting line-up during their recent upturn in form, it is unlikely he will make any changes, however.

Key Man

Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham has been hugely impressive for Bristol City this season, scoring 26 goals in 46 appearances.

Team Form

Bristol City are almost guaranteed survival thanks to a perfectly-timed return to form, including a 3-2 win at home to Barnsley last time out. They have also beaten Wolves and QPR at home in April, but they are without a win in their last three away games - drawing at Blackburn on Easter Monday, and losing back-to-back games at Brentford and Preston at the start of the month.

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Brighton\'s title party was put on hold after defeat at Norwich last week, but the Seagulls can seal the deal at home to Bristol City this weekend. Bristol City have pulled clear of the relegation places with five wins and three draws in their last ten games, but with survival now all but guaranteed they are unlikely to rain on Chris Hughton\'s team\'s parade.

Bristol City have only won one away game in the league since the start of October - a 1-0 victory at struggling Wigan Athletic in March.
