Brighton & Hove Albion - Southampton betting tips and odds

It’s quite easy to predict that Brighton & Hove Albion will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

The current perspective makes the situation straightforward. Given the superiority of Albion and the 13.00 odds given to Southampton to win, it is evident that a victory for the visiting team would be a shocking surprise.

Few people saw the previous victory of Brighton coming. The odds for them to beat Arsenal were priced at 4.20, but the match remained in a stalemate throughout the first half. As the game progressed, however, a string of extraordinary goals led Albion to a surprise away victory 0:3.

Brighton played in the previous round as hosts, which ended in a crushing 0:2 defeat. They scraped together a draw at half-time despite the fact they were considered underdogs, but their opponents Fulham completely dominated the second half.

Albion are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

The Saints may need to work on their defence if they want to get anywhere. In the 3 most recent matches they played, they conceded more than 5 times in total, which is not a good record to have.

With a 8th table position, The Seagulls aren’t very likely to get a UEFA qualification this season. Though their odds of winning this Sunday are solid, there’s a 5-point difference to make up and precious little time to do it.

Considering this is one of the last rounds of their Premier League campaign, Southampton’s hopes of avoiding relegation are slim to none. After all, this is an extremely unfavourable matchup for them, and the season is just about over.

Albion already won against Southampton this season, although it was a rather narrow victory. They’ll have the home-field advantage this time, though, which puts them in the position of favourites.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Jakub Moder, Jeremy Sarmiento for the hosts, and Valentino Livramento, Mohammed Salisu, Armel Bella-Kotchap, Juan Larios López for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

This is a solid match for those that like betting on longshots. Our advice is to pick Draw/Home on the Half Time/Full Time market. The probability of winning is not that high if we’re being honest, but it’s the best offer if you’re shooting for betting value.
