Brighton vs Southampton Tips

Tip 1

Repeat offender Flynn Downes has picked up four yellows in 11 PL appearances since joining Southampton from West Ham this summer.

He’s committed two or more fouls on six of these occasions, including in three of his last four.

The 25-year-old midfielder should be directly opposing livewire Joao Pedro, who is averaging 1.33 fouls drawn per game in the division this season.

Tip 2

Brighton’s fired up attacker has scored in each of his last two since returning from injury, putting him on four for the season from six appearances.

This sharp comeback sees him boast four strikes in his last five, now sitting on 24 goals in 46 games for Albion.

Brighton Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

The Seagulls staved off a late attempted comeback to claim all three points against Bournemouth last weekend, recording back-to-back victories for the first time since October.

James Milner and Solly March are confirmed absentees for the hosts, who will give late assessments to Lewis Dunk, Jack Hinshelwood, Tariq Lamptey, Adam Webster, Ferdi Kadioglu and Yankuba Minteh.

Brighton Predicted XI: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Igor, Estupinan; Wieffer, O’Riley; Rutter, Pedro, Mitoma; Welbeck.

Southampton Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Saints remain rooted to the bottom of the table, coming away from St Mary’s with nothing despite their valiant effort in a 3-2 defeat to league leaders Liverpool last Sunday.

Goalkeepers Aaron Ramsdale and Gavin Bazunu remain unavailable, as do Jan Bednarek, Ross Stewart, William Smallbone, plus major doubts Adam Lallana and Paul Onuachu.

Southampton Predicted XI: McCarthy; Walker-Peters, Harwood-Bellis, Downes, Stephens, Manning; Aribo, Fernandes; Dibling, Archer, Armstrong.
