This piece for Filmogaz.com covers Brighton vs Liverpool: Predictions, Team News, Betting Tips & Bet Builder Odds. The preview uses recent form and confirmed updates to assess the match.

Form and context

Liverpool booked a Champions League quarter-final place with a 4-0 win over Galatasaray at Anfield. They had lost the first leg 1-0 in Istanbul.

Brighton have won three of their last four Premier League matches. Their only recent league loss was 1-0 at home to Arsenal.

Why the draw looks likely

Liverpool showed energy in midweek but have been inconsistent away from home. They have four wins from nine road fixtures in 2026.

Brighton are solid at the Amex. Their recent home form and Liverpool’s congested schedule make a draw a sensible outcome.

Team news

Brighton have confirmed Kaoru Mitoma is fit to play. Stefanos Tzimas and Adam Webster are sidelined with injuries.

Liverpool will be without Mohamed Salah after a muscle injury in the Galatasaray win. Alisson did not travel, and Joe Gomez is likely to be on the bench.
