Coventry City are yet to score since making their return to the Premier League, suffering three defeats in the process, and now they face another tricky home game against the Seagulls on Sunday.
Brighton have picked up one win, one draw and one defeat from their opening three league games, but did safely secure their spot in the group stage of the Conference League with a 4-0 aggregate win over Norwegian side Tromso.
The Sky Blues lost their opening home game 1-0 against fellow newly promoted side Hull, and we're backing the hosts to suffer another defeat this weekend. Brighton lost their last home game in the Premier League 4-3 against free-spending Chelsea, but unlike Coventry, the Seagulls have managed to score in each of their opening three matches.
Brighton have scored eight goals in three league games so far this season, making for an average of 2.66 goals scored per match and with Coventry failing to score in any of their games, you can see why we've backed a final scoreline of 2-0 in the visitors' favour.
Belgian international Maxim De Cuyper has made a great start to the season for Brighton. The versatile 25-year-old has one goal and one assist from his opening three appearances in the Premier League, which isn't really a surprise when you look back at his career so far.
De Cruyper had five goal contributions last season in just 17 starts for the Seagulls, and reached double figures in his final season with Westerlo in 2022/23 and his first full season with Club Brugge in 2023/24. We have backed the Brighton man to score or claim an assist against Coventry this weekend.
Coventry 0-2 Brighton
