Brighton vs Bologna — Tips & Analysis

Over 2.75: Both of these teams should get chances here, and that is why we want goals. Brighton close their summer at a full Amex, five days before a Conference League play-off. They will name a strong team and hold the ball for long spells. At home last season they scored more than a goal a game and let in a goal a game. Bologna sit much deeper away from home and it costs them. They let in more than a goal a game across their seven away games last season. They still carry a real threat on the break. Bologna won five of those seven away games, including 1-0 at Atalanta and 3-2 at Napoli. So one side will push bodies forward and the other will counter hard into the space left behind. A 2-1 Brighton win is the way this most likely goes, and that is enough for us. The honest worry is the friendly setting. Both benches will empty around the hour mark and the game can go flat with it. Brighton have had 3 or more goals in only 9 of their last 17 games, and Bologna in 7 of their last 15. That is not a run that screams goals. We still want the busier game, because the way these two set up points that way.
