They come into this clash unbeaten since their trip to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/209111\/arsenal-vs-brighton-and-hove-albion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Emirates<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/209055\/manchester-city-vs-brighton-and-hove-albion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">drawing at the Etihad<\/a> in the league and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/223187\/manchester-united-vs-brighton-and-hove-albion\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">winning at Old Trafford<\/a> in the FA Cup third round since. <\/p>\n<p>The Cherries fixtures have averaged 3.5 goals a match, which rises to 4.7 on the road where 90% of Andoni Iraola\u2019s side&#8217;s 10 games have seen at least four goals, 50% have gone five or more and 30% six or more. They also played their part in an eight-goal thriller at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/live\/209117\/manchester-united-vs-bournemouth\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Manchester United<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p>Head-to-head records are flimsy but it is worth noting this match-up has seen no fewer than three goals the last five times these two have squared off. <\/p>\n<p>Considering all this, it\u2019s no surprise both over 2.5 goals and both teams to score is priced at 1\/2. To the goalscorer market then where <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/danny-welbeck\/2466\/stats\/brighton-and-hove-albion\/214\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">DANNY WELBECK<\/a> is 6\/4 TO SCORE ANYTIME. <\/p>\n<p>He&#8217;s the Seagulls&#8217; top goalscorer with eight and should return to spearhead the side on Monday. <\/p>\n<p>Welbeck hasn\u2019t started any of his side&#8217;s last three games and that\u2019s the gamble I guess. Will he play or won\u2019t he play? It&#8217;ll be worth keeping an eye on team news for sure. <\/p>\n<p>If he does get the nod, the price is definitely value. Welbeck has a goals per 90 average of 0.54 across his last 50 top-flight appearances and opposition strikers have been enjoying themselves when Bournemouth are in town this season. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/hugo-ekitike\/92918\/stats\/eintracht-frankfurt\/232\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hugo Ekitke<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/brian-brobbey\/80314\/stats\/ajax\/25\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brian Brobbey<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/matheus-cunha\/36330\/wolverhampton-wanderers\/219\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Matheus Cunha<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/donyell-malen\/35590\/stats\/aston-villa\/223\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Donyell Malen<\/a> all scored once against the Cherries. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/erling-haaland\/29446\/stats\/manchester-city\/13\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Erling Haaland<\/a> got a brace and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/jean-philippe-mateta\/6533\/stats\/crystal-palace\/3\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Jean-Philippe Mateta<\/a> took home the match-ball, as did <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportinglife.com\/football\/player\/kevin-schade\/97606\/stats\/brentford\/215\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Kevin Schade<\/a> (who on paper was playing off the left). <\/p>\n<p>Considering this and Welbeck&#8217;s pair of braces this term, the 7\/1 about him TO SCORE 2+ GOALS is worth a go as well. <\/p>\n<p>Joe Townsend<\/p>\n<p>Thus far in his reign as Brighton boss Fabian H\u00fcrzeler has shown little appetite for being defensively secure, which sets this game up nicely. <\/p>\n<p>It pits two of the division&#8217;s entertainers against one another when it comes to goals.<\/p>\n<p>BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE has landed in 67% of their matches, with only Manchester United (73%) above the duo in the Premier League charts. <\/p>\n<p>At home Brighton&#8217;s BTTS percentage rises to 70% while for Bournemouth on the road, 80% of the time both teams have found the net. Even more regular for Andoni Iraola&#8217;s team is OVER 2.5 GOALS, with 90% of the Cherries&#8217; away matches going over. For Albion, 60% of their home fixtures have done so.<\/p>\n<p>All told it makes the 4\/5 available with several bookmakers for OVER 2.5 GOALS and BOTH TEAMS TO SCORE worth backing to a healthy stake.<\/p>\n<p>Odds correct at 15:45 GMT (16\/01\/26)<\/p>\n<p>More from Sporting LifeSafer gambling<\/p>\n<p>We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
