Southampton vs Brighton Prediction & Betting tips
Southampton vs. Brighton is only about something for the guests from a sporting perspective. The home side had made a good restart, with Manchester City being defeated in the last home game, but the upswing was too late to intervene in the allocation of places for the Europa League.
For his part, Albion arrives with two losses and has not yet saved.
On the other hand, the situation with five points behind on 18th place is still not really hot and the youngest slugs have long been priced in in view of the extremely difficult games against the old and new champions.
For the match at St. Mary’s Stadium between Southampton and Brighton, the tip is aimed at the double chance for the guests.
Southampton:
The Saints can be so happy with the season so far. In contrast to the previous year, there is no need to worry about staying in the league this time. On the other hand, the quality of the team is not sufficient for higher orders, which is why a place in the middle of the field will emerge as a seasonal achievement.
In the last home game, the team of Coach Ralph Hasenhüttl was able to make another exclamation mark: The Citizens were beaten 1-0. However, appearances on their own terrain were mostly disappointing this season. Only 17 points were collected in as many games.
Only the relegated relegation from Norwich undercuts this value! Only thanks to more stable performances abroad, Southampton can now look forward to the end of the season in a relaxed manner. Southampton delivered the latest proof of its good away performances last Monday evening.
Here they managed a 2: 2 at Manchester United, with the equalization only falling in the sixth minute of added time. However, the point gain was not undeserved.
Another reason for the respectable seasonal performance is called Danny Ings. The former attacker of the Reds has so far delivered the season of his career: the 27-year-old has already scored 19 goals.
A great result, which, together with Mohamed Salah of Liverpool, brought him third place in the scorer scoring. His marksmanship did not decrease after the restart. So Ings scored in three of the last six games.
Brighton:
Last season, the seagulls saved themselves extremely thin from relegation. In the end it was two points ahead of Cardiff that decided the kicker from the seaside resort. This season, coach Graham Potter’s eleven have their own fans face a little nerve-racking tremor game again.
Although there are five points that Brighton has before the first relegation zone, relegation is not yet dry. One advantage is the timing of the upcoming pairing. This gives Albion a longer break compared to the opponent who played at Manchester United last Monday evening.
Furthermore, Brighton can bet on its current away strength. None of the last five appearances have been lost and no goals have been conceded abroad for 270 minutes.
In particular, the last record is respectable as Coach Potter’s team faced Wolverhampton and Leicester, two teams from the top of the Premier League table. In view of this, the odds for a maximum of one hit by the hosts are also given value in the encounter between Southampton and Brighton.
The forecast is underpinned by the aforementioned weakness at home in Southampton this season, which also manifests itself in the fact that the home side could only average one goal in their home games – second worst value after Crystal Palace.
