Brighton come into the match on the back of a 2-0 loss at home against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. The Seagulls conceded the first goal 8 minutes before half time and the second was scored 12 minutes after the interval.
That result means Brighton have failed to win any of their 6 most recent games and have picked up just a single victory from their last 11 fixtures in all competitions.
Looking specifically at the Premier League and Brighton have been in extremely poor form having lost each of their last 6 matches. The defeats have come at home against Burnley, Aston Villa, Liverpool, and Tottenham Hotspur plus away to Manchester United and Newcastle United.
Trends show in their 27 most recent matches in all competitions, Brighton have achieved just 3 wins. They have failed to score a single goal in their last 4 home Premier League games and have seen under 2.5 goals in 9 of their 10 most recent home league matches.
Norwich City travel to the American Express Community Stadium having previously lost 2-1 at Leeds United in dramatic circumstances. T
he Canaries were 1-0 down after only 14 minutes but scored the equalising goal late in the game. Just as Norwich City thought they had done enough to take a point, Leeds United scored deep in injury time to claim the win.
That result means Norwich City have failed to win any of their last 8 matches in all competitions. They have lost each of their last 7 games, 6 of which have come in the Premier League.
There have been defeats at home against Manchester City, Brentford, and Chelsea plus away to Liverpool, Southampton, and Leeds United.
Trends show Norwich City have won just 4 of their last 29 matches in the Premier League and have lost 6 of their last 7 on the road.
Looking ahead to the team news and Brighton are without the injured duo of Adam Lallana and Adam Webster.
Norwich City travel without Adam Idah, who is out for the season. They also have doubts over the availability of Christoph Zimmermann, Grant Hanley, and Andrew Omobamidele.
Both teams come into this game in poor form but there is no doubt Brighton are the better team. With home advantage, we expect to see Brighton end their miserable run of defeats with a victory and a clean sheet.
