Match Prediction-Borussia Dortmund vs Werder Bremen Betting Tips and Match Prediction
The international break in October arguably came at a good time for Manchester City to reset after an uncharacteristic run of three defeats in four matches across all competitions, with a 3-1 Champions League group-stage win over RB Leipzig the only success in the previous four weeks.
After losing in the EFL Cup to Newcastle United and then to Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League, City hoped that their win over Leipzig would serve as a catalyst to turn their fortunes around ahead of a top-flight clash with Arsenal. However, a sluggish performance and a late deflected goal from Gabriel Martinelli resulted in a 1-0 loss in North London, condemning the Citizens to back-to-back league defeats for the first time under manager Pep Guardiola.

Brighton have also suffered a slump in form over the last month, winning just one of their last five matches in all competitions, though Roberto De Zerbi will have taken heart from his team rescuing 2-2 draws in their last two Europa League and Premier League games against Marseille and Liverpool, respectively.
Liverpool were on course to take all three points on the South Coast thanks to a Mohamed Salah brace, but Seagulls captain Lewis Dunk equalized 12 minutes from time to salvage a point from an enthralling encounter – their first league draw of the season after five wins and two defeats in their first seven games.

An intriguing and entertaining match awaits between two of the Premier League’s most appealing teams to watch, coached by two of the game’s most innovative managers, and it’s difficult to see this game ending without goals at both ends. Brighton’s mercurial possession-hungry approach to the new season has paid dividends in attack, but it has left them wide open at the back, which could prove costly against a fired-up Man City side looking to rebound from recent setbacks with a victory on home soil.
Manchester City 3-2 Brighton & Hove Albion, predicted by us.
