Southampton vs Brighton: Top Free Betting Tips

Brighton have been one of the top teams in the league this season and cannot afford to drop points against Southampton. Here are our predictions.

Both Teams To Score Prediction: Yes

We expect a huge scoreline in this match and goals from both sides. There is a lot of history between these two teams and almost every single game had a massive result. All five most recent h2h games ended with both teams scoring goals. Southampton have had their struggles and their attack has been poor but against Brighton, we definitely expect at least one goal.

Total Goals Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals

Just like we expect the BTTS, we definitely expect to see at least three goals here. Brighton have been involved in some serious games lately, before the World Cup, and every single one ended with over 2.5 goals. The team proved that they can be a top side even with the new manager and we expect them to score multiple times against Southampton in this match.

Correct Score Prediction: 1:3 to Brighton

Brighton recently lost to Charlton for the EFL Cup and will be extra motivated to get a good result on Boxing Day against one of the weakest opponents in the Premier League. This may end up being a pretty close game but in the end, we think that Brighton's attack is more than capable of scoring multuple goals and Southampton's defense is a good target.

Southampton vs Brighton: Form, Recent Games, and News

Southampton Preview

Southampton have had some serious struggles this season both in attack and defense. The team is in danger of getting relegated unless they find an improvement. Surprisingly, they did not even play a single friendly match during the World Cup and we do not know what their current form is. Before the break, they were in a series of three defeats in a row in the Premier League, so anything different than a defeat will be a success in this match.

Brighton Preview

Brighton started the season as one of the shocking top sides and main contenders. But it all changed when Graham Potter left the club to join Chelsea. It took some time and several bad results but right before the World Cup, Brighton scored some solid results and showed that their form is actually not that bad. This is a team that can score a lot of goals and right now, their main issue will be in defense.
