What the model makes of them
The model rates Brighton & Hove Albion's attack 6th of 20 and its defence 5th: against an average opponent it projects 1.36 goals scored and 1.05 conceded.
Across the next 8 fixtures the kindest is Hull City in gameweek 11 (away), where the model has them +0.61 goals better off; the hardest is Manchester City in gameweek 9 at -0.76.
