The Match Is Over. Score:
1-1
Brighton v Southampton Predictions for Sunday's 0.30pm kick-off league fixture set to see Brighton host a Southampton side at Falmer Stadium. Brighton play Southampton in the top division for the first time since the Premier League (PL) was established in 1992, adding a south coast derby to the league’s long list of attractions.
Brighton have made their presence felt in the PL after collecting 11 points in 9 games, delivering a season’s best in their last game as they brushed aside a struggling West Ham side 3-0.
Both teams have struggled going forward so far. Brighton’s top scorer last season, Glen Murray (23 goals in the Ch’ship), has struggled with injuries this season, but played 90 minutes for the first time last week and netted his first two PL goals for the club.
Southampton must hope that Manolo Gabbiadini will build on his brace in the previous round. Last season’s top scorer in the league, Nathan Redmond, ended the season with just 7 goals to his name.
With an average of 2.1 (BRI) and 1.9 (SOU) goals per match respectively, Brighton and Southampton are among the teams involved in the fewest goals in PL this season. Only 1 in 4 home games for Brighton have ended with over 2.5 goals, while this figure is 1 in 3 for Southampton when playing away.
Southampton: Forster - Bertrand, Dijk, Yoshida, Soares - Boufal, Davis, Romeu, Tadic - Long, Gabbiadini (4-4-2 formation)
Southampton: Jeremy Pied, Mario Lemina, Matt Targett.
