[Albion] Manchester City v Brighton & Hove Albion ***SCORE PREDICTOR***

[Bozza]

Albion (6th) travel to champions Manchester City (3rd) for a good old-fashioned Saturday 3pm kickoff. The Seagulls were humbled on their last Premier League road trip, leaving Villa Park on the wrong end of a 6-1 scoreline. Manchester City have lost their last two Premier League games, which hasn't happened since the late 1890s or something. Both of those defeats were away from The Ethiad, where they remain imperious with three wins from three in the Premier League so far this campaign, scoring eight and conceding just once.

Head to head we have met 30 times, winning 5, drawing 6 & losing 19. City won the corresponding fixture 3-1 last season, with the sides playing out an entertaining 1-1 at the Amex in the return.

Ominously, Albion have never won away at Manchester City.

[PWA]

2-0 sadly

 

[oldboyroy]

Could be another villa massacre, but I'm going for a 4 nil city win unfortunately

 

[PHCgull]

before I take the PLUNGE, can anyone help me with the formbook?

What have our previous results been like when we go to visit the REIGNING CHAMPIONS OF EUROPE?

 

[Hotchilidog]

1-2 to the good guys.

 

[Bod]

5-1

 

[Mackenzie]

Well done @Bozza

 

[dazzer6666]

Listening to the radio over the last couple of days, virtually every pundit has written us off.

 

[Guinness Boy]

3-1 Citeh, sadly.

 

[Titanic]

1-1

This is a new experience for me on NSC - I have never read one of these threads, let alone posted on it!

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Huge respect for taking this over, Steve did do an amazing job doing the score predictor in all honesty, respect where respect is due.

Prediction Man City 4 Brighton 3

 

[Weststander]

3 - 1 to Abu Dhabi

 

[Badger Boy]

Oilers 0-2 Seagulls

But this is based on Steele not being in goal. If he is, there is no chance of a clean sheet.

 

[Mancgull]

Yes, it’s prompted me to participate. Thanks for picking up Bozza.
I’ve gone 3-1 to the Mancs.
For me this one is more about performance than result.
I’ve also decided to attend this one which is brave as I then have a family gathering afterwards with a load of City fans!

 

[Justice]

1-3 Albion if Wolves can turn them over we certainly can.

 

[Toongull]

I shall go for City 5 - 1 Albion

 

[Super Sub]

Listening to the radio over the last couple of days, virtually every pundit has written us off.

Good... Id like us to get back under the radar

 

[Super Sub]

drubbing either way. 5-1 or 0-4

 

[Reddleman]

Other 5-2

 

[TWOCHOICEStom]

Mucho Golazos.
