Can the over 2.5 goals bet pay off in this game between Middlesbrough and Brighton?

However, the home team will rely on a four-match winning and drawing streak at home.

In their previous match, which they crushed Everton 4-1 in the Premier League, Brighton also put on a fantastic performance. They are in a good league position and have demonstrated the ability to compete against much stronger teams, so they will see this as a game they can win. The fact that they were just knocked from the League Cup by Charlton Athletic of League One will not go unnoticed by the visitors, though. With just one clean sheet in their previous nine games, Brighton, who have won two of their last three games, have also struggled defensively.

I would normally not be averse to this prediction, but Brighton might decide to rotate and rest some of their key players, which could affect the game. I would say maybe over 1.5 is a safer option
