[Premier League] Brighton will win at home, and Southampton is worried about relegation.
Fabian Hürzeler’s side has shown impressive form, securing back-to-back 2-1 victories. They first stunned Manchester City at home and then triumphed over Bournemouth on the road. In their last six league games, Brighton has suffered only one defeat, a narrow 2-1 loss to Liverpool, while recording four wins and one draw.
These results have solidified Brighton’s position in fifth place, with goal difference being the only factor separating them from third-placed Chelsea. At the Amex, Hürzeler’s squad remains unbeaten this season (three wins and three draws). Notably, Brighton has excelled against top teams at home but has occasionally dropped points against lower-ranked opponents.
After finally securing their first Premier League win of the season against Everton (1-0), Southampton slipped back into poor form, losing their next two matches. They fell 2-0 to Wolves away and then, despite leading, suffered a 3-2 defeat against Liverpool.
Russell Martin’s side has lost six of their last seven Premier League fixtures, deepening their relegation worries. They are five points adrift of the safety of 17th place. Southampton also has the league’s weakest attack, scoring just nine goals so far. It’s worth noting that the club has won only one of its last 25 Premier League matches (five draws, 19 defeats).
