Brighton host Man City at The Amex Stadium (Brighton) in the 37th round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 7 pm (UK) on Tuesday, May 18. Read our reasons for Brighton vs Man City prediction and betting tips.
Man City have been crowned the champions of English football already, as they continue their fantastic season, with only 5 losses and 5 draws over the entire season until game week 37. Winning their 5th Premier League title in the past 10 years has been a magnificent achievement, with Pep Guardiola also wanting to achieve the ultimate prize with European glory. They will look to see off a tricky Brighton side, who have shown only glimpses of their form this season, barely avoiding relegation. After a 1-1 draw against West Ham last time out, The Seagulls are in the 17th spot, with 38 points, safe from going down with 2 matchdays remaining.
Against West Ham on Saturday, Brighton were seeking to finish as high in the table as possible with their Premier League status for next season secured last week. West Ham’s lack of cutting edge came back to haunt them with 6 minutes remaining when Danny Welbeck lifted a delicate finish over the onrushing Fabianski to make it 1-0. West Ham heads did not drop, and Benrahma hauled his side back on level terms with a superb curling effort. That would prove to be the last decisive action of the game as both sides were made to settle for a draw.
Brighton team that is steadily improving under Graham Potter. It is now eight points from their last four matches at home that has helped secure their top-flight status for an unprecedented fifth season in a row, with the carrot of potentially finishing above rivals Crystal Palace for the first time since they were promoted in 2017 still on offer thanks to a vastly improved performance in the second half against West Ham. However, The Seagulls will have to keep that rhythm for the full 90 minutes if they want to upset the runaway champions.
As for Man City, The Cityzens were left frustrated when going down 2-1 to Chelsea at Etihad Stadium in a dress-rehearsal for the Champions League final. However, they bounced back with an entertaining but hard-fought 4-3 win at Newcastle on Friday night. Pep Guardiola heaped praise on Ferran Torres after Spain forward scored a hat-trick. City twice fought back from a goal down and extended the gap at the top of the table to 13 points. It was City’s 12th consecutive victory in an away league game - a record in English football.
Guardiola admitted there were some expected lapses in concentration in defence after a couple of days off in the week to celebrate winning the Premier League title, but he now wants complete focus in Man City's final two Premier League fixtures before the Champions League final. With winning the league out of their system, he warned his players of complacency as he tries to select a Champions League final team that can beat Chelsea. With Citizens getting into combat mode ahead of the CL final, we expect them to get a win against a decent Brighton side.

Brighton meet Man City having previously lost all seven of their top-flight matches against The Citizens, conceding 21 goals and scoring just twice in the process. Man City are also looking to do a league double over The Seagulls after celebrating a 1-0 win at the Etihad in the reverse fixture on January 13.
Even though 7,900 Seagulls supporters will pour into the Amex to see Graham Potter's men entertain Premier League champions-elect in one of the standout fixtures of the season, we expect Man City to keep their composure and come away with three points from Brighton.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
