Southampton Brighton & Hove Albion betting prediction

The away team is currently in the 16^th position of the league, with 23 points won, after 5 wins, 8 draws and 11 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against West Bromwich Albion, by (2‑0). In the last match, they lost in a home match against Chelsea, by (0‑4). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 3 wins, 4 draws and 8 losses in away matches, with 6 goals scored and 15 conceded; against 5 wins, 6 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 17 goals scored and 22 conceded. In their last match, for the FA Cup, they got an away win against Middlesbrough by (0‑1). In the last 10 away league matches Brighton & Hove Albion has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 losses, so they have won 7 points out of 30 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 12 matches. In their away matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 0‑0 (5 out of 12 matches) and after the 90' 2‑0 (6 out of 12 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, and their offense hasn’t been one of their best features, as they haven’t scored any goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for few goals, since 10 of the last 12 matches for this competition have ended with Under 2,5 goals. In 24 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 12 times and have never been able to turn the score around.

Brighton continue with their disastrous campaign within the English Premier League, having been five rounds without a win, and now come from two consecutive defeats, not having scored a goal in any of them. In the last round, the team had a poor performance, mainly in defensive terms, and even playing in a very cautious formation, could not hold Chelsea, who scored two goals at each stage. Despite the poor performance of the defense in this confrontation, it is the offensive sector that has been the main problem of the team, so much so that it is the second worst of the competition, being one of the least complete. Playing away from home, the team won less than a quarter of the points, and in that condition scored only five goals, setting the worst attack in this type of situation. For this duel, the coach is likely to risk a more offensive formation, also making some changes in the starting lineup.

Confirmed Lineup: Mathew Ryan, Ezequiel Schelotto, Gaëtan Bong, Shane Duffy, Lewis Dunk, Dale Stephens, Davy Pröpper, Pascal Groß, Solly March, José Izquierdo, Glenn Murray.
Coach: R. De Zerbi.
