Southampton vs Brighton Prediction & Betting tips
This round of play in the Premier League will end at St. Mary’s Stadium on Monday evening. A poster between two clubs that have taken both four points in the first four games of this season.
Southampton:
It seems to be another difficult season for Southampton. The Saints already have four points and are in twelfth place, but it is not convincing what Southampton shows. That was often not the case last season and The Saints then escaped relegation to the Championship at the last minute. The club eventually ended only three points above the line and at Southampton they hope that it will be easier this season. For the time being, The Saints only won once in the Premier League.
That victory came about just before the international matches. After a goalless draw against Burnley and defeats against Everton and Leicester City, The Saints were two weeks ago with 0-2 too strong for Crystal Palace. A few days earlier, Southampton also eliminated Brighton (0-1) in the League Cup and those last two games offer perspective. On his visit to Crystal Palace, Danny Ings was responsible for the opening goal shortly after the tea and it was Pierre Højbjerg who did not finish the game until the final stage. Monday evening they hope at Southampton to give that victory a follow-up in their own St. Mary’s Stadium. The last time that The Saints won in-house was in April, so the fans of Southampton are well on their way to a three point in St. Mary’s Stadium.
Brighton:
Brighton has also taken four points this season. The Seagulls, however, were already eliminated by Southampton in the League Cup, but that tournament is not the priority at Brighton. The priorteit lies with the Premier League, because at Brighton they will have to give everything to be active next season at the highest level. With one win and one draw, Brighton started the competition reasonably well, but the results also show a form of vicissitude. Something that was also typical for The Seagulls last season.
Chris Hughton’s formation started with a defeat this season, then won handsomely with Manchester United’s 3-2 and then lost again. Hughton then saw his team from the League Cup being thrown in by Southampton. The first period ended with a 2-2 draw against Fulham. They just have to win such kind of matches at their own Amex Stadium. Still, The Seagulls are not dissatisfied with the draw, as Brighton still faced a 0-2 deficit 25 minutes before time.
