Southampton vs Brighton Prediction: The teams will exchange goals

On Matchday 17 of the English Championship, Southampton will face Brighton at home. A few days ago, the Seagulls disappointed their fans with a weak game against the underdogs and the departure from the English League Cup. Will this be an additional motivation for the guests?

After a 1:1 draw with Arsenal, Southampton failed to score in their next three English league games. The Saints lost to Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, and Liverpool by a combined score of 2:8. With 12 points, the team is in last but one place in the Premier League table. A few days ago, they reached the quarterfinals of the English League Cup, beating Lincoln City 2:1.

Brighton also disappointed their fans with their last performance in the Premier League before the World Cup break. On Matchday 16, they suffered a 1:2 defeat at home to Aston Villa. The club has 21 points; they are seventh in the EPL table. The club had an unsuccessful start to the season with a disappointing game in London against Charlton Athletic. The team lost to their opponent in a penalty shootout and was eliminated from the English League Cup.

There are signs of a sixth straight head-to-head match with goals from both teams. Southampton intends to break the series of defeats in the English Premier League, and the purpose of Brighton is to correct the mistakes after the departure from the League Cup. We don't rule out the possibility that the teams will exchange productive actions and share points.
