For Brighton & Hove Albion vs Southampton prediction, we way Brighton will win in the first half and this is why. Southampton have lost their last four Premier League matches and because they are already relegated and Brighton are pushing for a top six finish, the Seagulls will likely start the game on the front foot, hence inspiring De Zerbi’s men to head into the break in front.
Whilst Brighton & Hove Albion are the favourites to win the game against Southampton, we predict at least two goals will be scored in the first half and this is why. Two of Brighton’s last three matches had at least two goals in the first half. Southampton conceded ten goals in their last two matches, hence there’s a chance two or more goals could be scored in the first 45 minutes.
Brighton & Hove Albion failed to make their massive 3-0 win at Arsenal last weekend count when they got embarrassed 4-1 by Newcastle United on Thursday night. Their chances of finishing in the top four is over but they need to win their remaining three matches to remain in the top six, hence starting from this weekend against Leeds United.
Southampton lost their last four Premier League matches including last weekend’s 2-0 defeat to Fulham at home last weekend. As a result, they have been relegated to the Championship for next season. They have nothing else to fight for, although they have two matches left for the season.
