Our prediction for the match Brighton & Hove Albion vs Southampton
“The Seagulls” had spent the previous cycle in a rather controversial way. On the one hand, they made a good debut in the European competitions, winning the Europa League group. Still, there was a defeat to Roma in the 1st round of the play-offs even there. “The Saints” were relegated to the Championship in 2023. They returned from the very first attempt, but not directly – that happened through the play-offs.
The newcomer seriously strengthened the squad. Speaking about the first 9 rounds, there was only a draw in the struggle with Ipswich. And only then the team beat Everton (the club also defeated this opponent in the League Cup). However, it lost to Wolverhampton after that. And then, as expected, there was a failure in the game against Liverpool (it is reasonable to mention that the underdog’s performance was pretty good – it lost with a 2-3 score). A new coach, Hürzeler, and many players appeared in the south of England in the summer – the transfer campaign was large-scale. So far, the “new Nagelsmann” lives up to expectations and his wards beat top opponents up to Manchester City. The club also won the game against Bournemouth in the previous round – 2-1.
The hosts continue to stick to spectacular football. They score more than 1.7 goals per round and Welbeck is experiencing another “youth”. At the same time, they concede more than 1.3 goals per match on average. As for the guests, they are not in vain at the bottom of the table: they concede almost twice and score 0.65 goals per round.
