How do the two teams set up?
Confirmed line-ups land about an hour before kick-off.
Home
AFC Bournemouth
Expect Bournemouth to stay compact at Vitality Stadium and look for a moment rather than control the game.
Away
Brighton & Hove Albion
Well organised and hard to play through, Brighton usually earn results on their trip to Vitality Stadium by winning the midfield battle.
What would change our mind?
The developments we would react to before kick-off.
If Bournemouth name a weakened XI
Rotation or a key absence would take several points off their win chance; check line-ups an hour before kick-off.
If Brighton score first
The favourite has to chase, and both the draw and the upset become much more likely.
If a red card comes in the first hour
Ten men changes the expected-goals picture entirely, whichever side it hits.
The story of Bournemouth vs Brighton
AFC Bournemouth take on Brighton & Hove Albion in front of their own fans, and the Wazir Win numbers lean Bournemouth's way. The gap in expected goals (1.43 for Bournemouth, 1.29 for Brighton) is the clearest signal, and it is what produces our 40% for Bournemouth. Brighton's best route is to keep it level into the last half-hour, when the draw becomes a live result.
