Brighton take on the visitors Southampton in the round 13 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Friday, November 29th at Amex Stadium (Brighton).
Brighton continues to showcase its reputation as a promising and ambitious club. The appointment of Fabian Hürzeler, following Roberto De Zerbi's move to Marseille, has breathed new life into the "Seagulls." The former St. Pauli coach, nicknamed the "new Nagelsmann," has revitalized Brighton, positioning them as contenders for European competition once again. Under Hürzeler, Brighton has achieved several impressive victories this season, including a statement win over Manchester City. Most recently, they secured a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Bournemouth, emphasizing their resilience and attacking flair. With consistent performances, Brighton looks poised to solidify its position among the Premier League’s top sides. The Amex Stadium has been a fortress under Hürzeler, with Brighton losing only one home game this season. Southampton’s lack of attacking cohesion will likely play into Brighton’s hands. Hürzeler's tactical flexibility has allowed Brighton to adapt mid-game, which could overwhelm Southampton's predictable setup. A high press from the "Seagulls" may force errors from Southampton's backline.

Southampton's return to the Premier League has been anything but smooth. Despite strengthening their squad over the summer, Russell Martin's side has found it challenging to adapt to the top-flight intensity. With only one league win to their name—a narrow victory over Everton—the "Saints" remain in the relegation zone. Their recent performances, including a spirited 2-3 loss to Liverpool, suggest they can compete against stronger sides, but defensive frailties and inconsistency have been their undoing. A 0-2 defeat to Wolverhampton before the international break highlighted their struggles to maintain momentum, even against fellow strugglers.
Brighton has dominated this fixture in recent years, winning three of the last five meetings, including both encounters in the previous Premier League season. Southampton has managed only two draws in this period. Brighton’s attacking prowess and Southampton’s defensive vulnerabilities suggest a comfortable win for the hosts, possibly with a clean sheet. Expect Brighton to control the tempo and deliver a professional performance. Brighton’s superior form and home advantage make them clear favorites against a struggling Southampton. Expect the "Seagulls" to dominate possession and exploit Southampton’s shaky defense.
Prediction for the match: Brighton to win, with a handicap of -1.
