Total Goals

Both teams have a high percentage of their total matches ending with under 2.5 goals (28 out of 31 for both teams when considering their own goals scored/conceded under_over 2.5). Burnley has failed to score in 7 of their 15 home games, indicating a struggle to find the net. Brighton has also kept 4 clean sheets in 15 away games. This combination points towards a low-scoring affair where at least one team is likely to fail to score.
