Attacking Output

The starting XI of Brighton have contributed 16 goals and 4 assists this season, led by D. Welbeck (13G). Norwich's starters account for 3 goals and 3 assists, spearheaded by K. McLean (3G).

Defensive Solidity

Brighton deploy 3 defenders rated 6.90 on average, against Norwich's 4-man backline averaging —. Higher defensive ratings suggest better positional awareness, fewer individual errors, and a greater likelihood of keeping clean sheets. The rating accounts for tackles won, interceptions, aerial duels, and blocks throughout the season.

Midfield Control

Brighton field 5 midfielders averaging 6.75, versus Norwich's 4 rated 7.23. Midfield ratings reflect passing accuracy, interceptions, key passes, and overall control of possession — the team that dominates midfield typically dictates the tempo and territory of the match.

Forward Threat

Brighton start 2 forward(s) averaging 6.70, compared to 2 for Norwich averaging —. Forward ratings capture shot accuracy, movement off the ball, dribbling success, and involvement in build-up play — they indicate who carries the greater goal threat on the day.

Passing & Build-Up

Discipline

Brighton's starters have collected 22 yellow cards this season, compared to 6 for Norwich. Yellow cards reflect how aggressively a team presses and tackles — a high count may indicate a physical, high-pressing style but also risks suspensions and late free-kicks in dangerous areas.

Younger squads typically offer pace, energy, and pressing intensity, while experienced lineups bring composure, game management, and the ability to handle high-pressure moments.

Squad Depth
