Match summary

Liverpool vs Brighton & Hove Albion meet at Anfield in the Premier League on Sunday 25 October 2026, Matchday 8, and our model backs a home win, with either team to win and no draw as the double chance.

Why this pick?

The pick is Liverpool, mainly because our strength rating has them slightly ahead of Brighton & Hove Albion and clearly above the Premier League average. The strongest argument against is Brighton's attacking output: five wins in seven, 23 goals, and recent shots, big chances and box touches well clear of the league average. What holds the call together is Anfield, where home advantage sits with Liverpool, plus 14 wins in 23 head-to-head meetings since 2010. Liverpool have also been getting into dangerous areas regularly in recent weeks. The call is a moderate one.

Both teams to score: Our goal model likes the matchup at both ends. Brighton have scored 23 goals in seven league games, and Liverpool's attacking numbers at home sit above the league average, so our model expects both teams to score.
