Brighton – Monaco

Brighton host Monaco in what promises to be a stark contrast of form, with the Seagulls languishing in 63rd place on just four points from a win and a draw, while the French side sit second with ten points after three victories and a stalemate. The home side have yet to concede a goal, boasting a perfect 4‑0 record, but their lack of wins leaves them far behind the leaders. Monaco, meanwhile, have already netted six times and only allowed two, underlining their attacking potency and defensive solidity. The head‑to‑head history offers little solace for Brighton, as they head into the fixture needing a decisive turnaround against a Monaco outfit that has shown both consistency and firepower this season.
