Brighton v Bournemouth is expected to be highly spectacular, despite the fact that neither of the two is now part of the Premier League top 10.

Premier League predictions for Brighton vs Bournemouth
My Brighton vs Bournemouth best bet: Over 3.5 goals (+125 at Sports Interaction)
Bournemouth’s 3-2 win against Spurs in their last Premier League outing ended their 11-game winless run in the Premier League. They last won consecutive league games back in August. It was a run of three with the last two coming against Spurs and Brighton, respectively.
Brighton have both scored and conceded in 41 of their 59 Premier League games under Fabian Hürzeler, a ratio of 69.5%. That's the highest of any manager to take charge of 50+ games in the competition's history. Meanwhile, Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola ranks sixth-highest for this with 61.9% (60/97). I expect many goals this time out as well, with both teams looking good offensively.
Even though results haven't been impressive for either Brighton or Bournemouth, goals kept coming thanks to their attacking principles of play.

Brighton vs Bournemouth same-game parlay (SGP)
Over 3.5 goals
Kaoru Mitoma 1+ shots on target
Junior Kroupi 1+ shots on target
Over 10.5 corners
Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma has scored more Premier League goals against Bournemouth than any other opponent (five). His next game will be his 100th in the competition, the third Japanese player to reach the milestone after Maya Yoshida (154) and Shinji Okazaki (114).
Junior Kroupi, a 19-year-old striker, has scored seven Premier League goals for his team this season. Only four non-British teenagers have netted more in a single campaign: Nicolas Anelka in 1998-99 (13), Robbie Keane in 1999-00 (12), Romelu Lukaku in 2012-13 (14), and Kelechi Iheanacho in 2015-16 (eight). He wants to make himself visible; he's hungry and skilled, so I'm not leaving him out of my SGP.
Bournemouth averages 5.67 corners per game, the fourth highest in the Premier League, with Brighton at 4.67. I think there will be plenty of action in both boxes, and corners should follow.
