With their 9 point advantage in the league table, Southampton fans are hoping to see their team collect maximum points from this game against Brighton & Hove Albion.

There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only three days ago. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Manchester United.

Southampton can neither be promoted or relegated from Premier League. Brighton & Hove Albion are fighting to avoid relegation and will work hard for points.

Southampton form and stats

With 5 Premier League wins, 2 draws and 10 defeats from their home games, Southampton are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Southampton travelled for their previous game, a trip to Manchester United that ended 2-2. A 1-1 draw away before that, with Everton the opponent.

Michael Obafemi was able to secure the draw 2-2 in the game against Manchester United after coming on as a substitute and scoring the final goal. In the starting lineup today?

The manager R. Hasenhüttl will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to AFC Bournemouth in only three days.

The Southampton fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 17 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 33 goals have been conceded.

Brighton & Hove Albion form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Brighton & Hove Albion so far with only 15 points returning home. The records show 3-6-8 (win-draw-lose).

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Manchester City with 0-5 on the scoreboard. The game before that, was lost at home, a 1-3 defeat against Liverpool.

Brighton lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-5 beating and focus on this one.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Newcastle United in just four days.

The visitors have scored 16 goals from 17 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As opposed to that, Brighton have seen the ball go into their own net 25 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The last H2H meeting was Brighton & Hove Albion - Southampton 0-2, played this season. Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Southampton won five games, four matches ended with a draw and Brighton & Hove Albion has one win. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: four / six
