Southampton take on the visitors Brighton at “St Mary's Stadium” in the round 25 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 31st.
Southampton are one of the worst teams of the English elite division in this season. At this point the club settles on the 18th place of the table, holding the relegation battle. “The Saints” participated in 24 encounters in which they managed to pick up only 22 points, having lost 10 fights. The side’s offense disappoints with 24 goals scored while its defense is a complete disaster as it has conceded 35 goals already. Southampton recorded three victories and five defeats in 13 home clashes. In the latest games conducted at “St Mary's Stadium” “The Saints” have beaten Watford 1:0 in the FA Cup, lost 1:2 to Crystal Palace and earned 1:1 draw against Tottenham.

The supporters and experts expected for more from Brighton in this season, however, “The Seagulls” sit now on 16th position in the elite division standings, being not far from the relegation zone. The club participated in 24 battles, having gained 23 points in them. The team’s attack aggrieves much with only 17 goals scored which is one of the worst results in the Premier League, still, its defense is doing not better, having conceded 33 goals. “The Seagulls” has broken Middlesbrough 1:0 in the FA Cup, failed 0:2 against West Bromwich and got 0:0 draw vs. Newcastle Utd. in the recent fights conducted on the road.
The first-lap head-to-head between the rivals was finished in a tough 1:1 draw. At the moment both sides stay in a poor form and disappoint greatly, nevertheless, due to a home-field factor, I would give an advantage to “The Saints” as Southampton look remarkably weak in general, and on the road in particular, therefore, they are unlikely to deserve at least a point in the forthcoming game.
Prediction for the match: Southampton to win.
