Stoke vs Brighton assessment: The bottom door makes it difficult

Brighton is showing signs of decline in form when drawing 1 and losing 1 in the last 2 rounds in the English Premier League, thereby losing breath in the race for tickets to the European C2 Cup next season.

Tonight, Seagulls have a trip to the yard of the English first-class team Stoke in the fifth round of the FA Cup. Of course, with the position of the representative playing in the No. 1 tournament in the country of fog, Brighton is expected by many fans to win tickets to the next round.

But with actual performance, experts do not rule out that coach De Zerbi's teachers and students were held to a draw by the opponent and needed a replay to determine victory or defeat. Remember, Brighton is not a team that has a terrible performance when playing away from home. The proof is that they have 4 draws and 3 wins in the last 7 away matches.

For their part, Stoke owns a reliable home form when they won 3, drew 1 and lost only 1 time (with a minimum score of 0-1) in the last 5 home matches. Obviously, Stoke with a one-draw handicap is a safe choice at the moment.

- Stoke: Sarkic; Sterling, Wilmot, Jagielka, Tymon; Thompson, Baker, Clcas; Brown, Gayle, Celina.

- Brighton: Steele; Veltman, Dunk, Webster; Lamptey, Caicedo, Gross, March; Sarmiento, Mitoma; Ferguson.
