Football Tips for 19 Jan 2026: Highlighting 3 Top Picks and Todays Fixtures with Brighton in Focus

Football tips for 19 Jan 2026 highlight 3 top contenders and open today's football schedule with a focus on Brighton.

On 19 January 2026, today's football tips cover major competitions: the English Premier League, Spain's La Liga, and Italy's Serie A, featuring analysis and insights on notable matches as follows.


1. Brighton (11th place) vs. Bournemouth (15th place)

- English Premier League / Kickoff at 03:00 GMT+7

The "Seagulls," Brighton, are in excellent form, unbeaten in their last 3 matches since the start of 2026, including a 1-1 draw at Manchester City in the Premier League and knocking Manchester United out of the FA Cup third round. In contrast, Bournemouth, the "Cherries," have struggled over the last 13 games since November, winning only once (with 6 draws and 6 losses).

Team conditions differ greatly: Brighton welcomes back Carlos Baleba from the Cameroon national team after the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, joining Kaoru Mitoma, Bryan Gruda, Georginio Rutter, and Danny Welbeck. Bournemouth, however, has 9 injured players and lost key forward Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City. Additionally, in their last 4 home meetings, Brighton has beaten Bournemouth each time.

Insight Favoring Brighton.

2. Elche (10th place) vs. Sevilla (16th place)

- Spanish La Liga / Kickoff at 03:00 GMT+7

Sevilla, seven-time Europa League champions, are fighting relegation for the second consecutive season after finishing 17th last year. Currently 16th, just 3 points above the relegation zone, they have lost their last 4 matches in all competitions without scoring. Their away record this season is 3 wins in 9 games, with no away wins since October.

Elche, a newly promoted side, have performed better than expected and sit 6 points clear of the relegation zone. At home, they are strong with 5 wins, 1 draw, and only 1 loss in 10 games, the defeat coming to Villarreal. Despite missing top scorer Rafa Mir, who is injured, if Andre Silva (with 4 goals) returns fit, Elche will have a strong chance against Sevilla, who are missing key players Cesar Azpilicueta, Ruben Vargas, Akor Adams, and Chidera Ejuke.

Insight Sevilla won’t give up easily.

3. Lazio (9th place) vs. Como (6th place)

- Italian Serie A / Kickoff at 02:45 GMT+7

Lazio, the "Sky Blues and Whites," are known as a team that draws frequently; since last season, they have drawn more home matches than any other team—13 out of 29 games. Their last 4 home matches resulted in no wins (3 draws, 1 loss). They also sold two key players: Valentin Castellanos (to West Ham) and Matteo Guendouzi (to Fenerbahce).

Como has improved significantly, contending for a European competition spot. They are 5 points behind the top 4 Champions League places. In their first encounter this season, Como won 2-0 against Lazio, although they recently suffered a 1-3 home defeat to AC Milan. Despite missing Alvaro Morata, Assan Diaw, and Jayden Addai to injury, they have key scorers Nico Paz and Anastasios Douvikas, each with 6 goals, as crucial assets.

Insight Como to upset Lazio away.
