Bournemouth vainqueur
Backing *AFC Bournemouth to win the 1st half* against Brighton & Hove Albion is a higher-risk but interesting option. Bournemouth has shown signs of improvement recently, particularly in their intensity and aggression during the early stages of home games. They’ve been able to press effectively and create chances, aiming to unsettle opponents right from kickoff.
Brighton, though known for their offensive firepower, can sometimes be caught off guard in the opening phases, especially against teams willing to disrupt their rhythm. Brighton's focus on building play from the back can occasionally lead to early vulnerabilities, which Bournemouth could exploit.
Given Bournemouth's potential to come out strong at home, *AFC Bournemouth to win the 1st half* could yield value if they capitalize on early opportunities. However, it's worth noting that Brighton remains the stronger side overall, so this play carries some risk.
