Brighton & Hove Albion hosts Southampton in round 11 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Monday, December 7th at Amex Stadium (Brighton)
The fight for survival is familiar to Brighton. Under the leadership of Graham Potter, the Seagulls are struggling to hold their position outside the relegation zone this season (16th place and 10 points). Brighton looked good in the last rounds, where it did not lose and added five points to its asset (victory and two draws). It is difficult for Brighton in terms of personnel, and the club clearly cannot compete in its capabilities even with the newcomers of the Premier League, Fulham and Leeds. Albion has a strong skeleton and tries to form a muscle corset around it through newcomers. Team leaders include Maupay, Dunk, Ryan, Lampty, and Bissouma.

If we look at the Saints, Ralph Hassenhutl became the coach who systematically works to create a new team with serious tournament ambitions. Southampton had a great start in the championship. Having gained 17 points, the team takes sixth place in the Premier League standings. Such a start is a real breakthrough for the club, which could end with a place in the European Cup zone. A competitive backbone of the team is gradually being formed, and a team with serious tournament ambitions will be built around it. In the summer, the Saints signed contracts with such young talents as Salisu, Walker-Peters, and Diallo. The club also loaned experienced Walcott from Everton. Ings remains the leader of the attack in Southampton, and Westergaard, Adams, Ward-Prowse, Armstrong, Bednarek, and Bertrand spend a good season.
Previous head-to-head matches of these British teams were held in a pragmatic style and were notable for their low scoring. Now Southampton is much more interesting than the Seagulls, but this is England, and Brighton can take points even from Liverpool. Therefore, you should not write off the hosts of the arena. It would be safer on Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
