Brighton vs Grimsby Predictions

The Seagulls delivered fantastic results in their home matches this year, beating Liverpool (twice), Bournemouth, West Ham, and Crystal Palace. Grimsby’s FA Cup journey ends on Sunday. Youngster Evan Ferguson is also tipped to score.

Brighton are undefeated in 11 of their last 12 matches
Brighton have won 5 of their last 6 home matches
Brighton’s Evan Ferguson scored in his last FA Cup match
Grimsby Town have lost 7 of their last 10 away matches (League Two)

Head to Head

Grimsby Town have a 2-1 advantage against Brighton with one draw in four games.

The most recent head to head encounter was won by Grimsby Town 2-1 in February 2004 in League One.

Brighton Form

Even though they lost one of the best players Leandro Trossard in January, Brighton & Hove Albion continued with phenomenal results on all fronts.

The Seagulls are back in European contention after winning the mid-week Premier League duel against Crystal Palace (1-0). Solly March’s early goal was enough to secure three important points.

Brighton now sit in 7th place in the Premier League with 42 points, just two short of 5th Newcastle United.

To reach the FA Cup quarter-finals, De Zerbi’s side eliminated Middlesbrough (5-1), Liverpool (2-1), and Stoke City (1-0). The last and only time when Brighton reached the FA Cup finals was in 1983.

Brighton Team News

Central midfielder Jakub Moder is the only name on Brighton’s injury list.

Grimsby Form

Grimsby Town are the most surprising participant in the quarter-finals. They have reached this stage after beating Plymouth Argyle (5-1), Cambridge United (2-1), Burton Albion (1-0), Luton Town (3-0 in a replay match), and Southampton (2-1).

This team is not doing well in League Two this season, sitting in poor 15th place with 45 points from 34 matches.

The most recent form of Paul Hurst’s men is great though, having won the last two outings against Rochdale (1-0) and Sutton United (1-0).

Grimsby Team News

All players are fit and eligible to play on Sunday.

Verdict

Brighton v Grimsby

The next weekend is reserved for international matches, so Roberto De Zerbi doesn’t have to stress about players’ fitness. I expect Brighton to start with their standard roster and win the match easily.
