Brighton & Hove Albion - Southampton predictions

Brighton & Hove Albion are likely on their way to a decisive victory, and it’s hard to feel optimistic about the visitors’ prospects. Bookmakers are pricing a home win at 1.45, which is quite in line with most expert opinions.

From the present standpoint, the situation is clear as day. Considering the strength of The Seagulls and the 7.14 odds given to Southampton to win, it is easy to conclude that a victory for the visiting team would be a surprising upset.

Despite fighting an uphlll battle at AFC Bournemouth in the last round, Albion came out on top with a narrow 1:2 win. They grabbed an early lead and kept up the pace until the bitter end, resulting in important three points at a tough turf.

The visitors are coming off from a narrow defeat in the last round of the Premier League. They were overwhelming underdogs at 1.33 betting odds but they still put up a good fight. The Saints held on to a draw in the first half with only one goal making all the difference in the end.

The previous 3 times we saw Albion play at home were marked by more than 5 goals from them. The visitors will need to be careful if they want to avoid conceding a lot of goals.

The visiting team have had very bad luck when it comes to their concession rate. In the past 3 home games, they conceded more than 5 goals.

The hosts have had a strong start to the season so far, but they’ll be looking for even more. With just 9 points needed and a favourable matchup this Friday, they might just get there.

The form we saw from The Saints so far leaves much to be desired. They’re in the relegation zone going into round 13. Though they have a lot of time to improve their results, they’re in for a tough road ahead.

Quite a long list of injuries for the hosts. Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Solly March, Jack Hinshelwood, James Milner, Ferdi Kadıoğlu will all be absent for this match. Even though the betting odds consider them favourites, it’s important to remember that a good part of their regular roster is out of contention.

We can say with no small amount of confidence that this match will confirm the Over 2.5 Goals market. Both teams fit the bill for such a wager perfectly, so this is a very safe bet, offered at the odds of 1.48 at Betway.
