Southampton vs Brighton Prediction

Southampton Form

Southampton have been a bit bleak in their last three matches, although it opened with a 1-2 victory against Ipswich. Unable to follow that up, they went down 0-1 against Burnley, before handing over another win to Bournemouth in a 1-3 defeat. Southampton are without a win in their last six Premier League matches on home soil, which produced a record of zero draws and six defeats, in which they conceded 22 and scored three goals.

Brighton Form

Brighton won twice in their last three matches, but began by losing 7-0 against Nottingham Forest, before beating Chelsea 2-1. Another win followed, this time by 3-0 against Chelsea. Brighton won twice, while also recording three draws, and one defeat in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches says 13 goals conceded and ten scored.

Form is currently close to disastrous for The Saints, and siding with Brighton is a no-brainer, as it looks like a question of attempting to minimize the defeat for hosts.

Brighton won two of their previous seven outings against teams from the bottom six and claimed 11 points. They scored 11 and conceded eight goals. Southampton have a record of two wins, three draws and 20 defeats in the Premier League this season. Brighton have a record of nine wins, ten draws and six defeats in the Premier League.
