Comments and predictions for Brighton vs Southampton: Winning thanks to home field

Latest Brighton vs Southampton team information

Brighton will be without James Milner (thigh), Solly March (knee), Jack Hinshelwood (knee) and Adam Webster (thigh) for the game. Ferdi Kadioglu (toe) and Yankuba Minteh (muscle) are doubtful.

However, Lewis Dunk and Tariq Lamptey are fit and will play. Baleba's suspension could give Matt O'Riley a chance to start in midfield, alongside Yasin Ayari or Mats Wieffer. The attack could continue with Joao Pedro up front, with Georginio Rutter on the right, although Simon Adingra is in contention.

Southampton are without Aaron Ramsdale (finger), Gavin Bazunu (Achilles), Jan Bednarek (knee), Ross Stewart, William Smallbone (hamstring) and Adam Lallana (hamstring). Striker Paul Onuachu, despite a knee injury, is fit. Joe Aribo could replace Lallana in central midfield with Matheus Fernandes, while Adam Armstrong will partner Tyler Dibling and one of Cameron Archer or Ben Brereton Diaz.

Latest Brighton vs Southampton football review

Two weeks after a 2-1 win over Man City at the Amex, Brighton continued their form, beating Bournemouth by the same scoreline last weekend. It was their fourth win in their last six Premier League games, equalling their total in their previous 19 games (D7 L8).

Joao Pedro opened the scoring in the fourth minute of his first start since August, before Kaoru Mitoma doubled the lead after the break. Despite Carlos Baleba being sent off in the 58th minute, Brighton held on for the win despite David Brooks reducing the deficit and Antoine Semenyo almost equalising.

Manager Fabian Hurzeler was pleased with Brighton finishing fifth, level on points with Chelsea and Arsenal, and just one point behind Man City. However, he stressed the team needed to remain humble and focused during this crucial period.

Brighton return to the Amex, where they are unbeaten in their last six games and have picked up 12 points. Along with Brentford and Liverpool, they are the only three teams yet to lose at home this season, although their defence remains a concern, with just four clean sheets in 15 home games in 2024. The head-to-head record is also in Brighton’s favour, with three wins and two draws in their last five games against Southampton, including a 3-1 win in May 2023.

Southampton's 3-2 defeat to Liverpool continued their poor run. They led 2-1 in the final 25 minutes but goalkeeper Alex McCarthy's mistake and Yukinari Sugawara's handball cost them. This was their 10th defeat of the season, leaving Southampton bottom of the table, five points adrift of safety after 12 games.

However, Russell Martin's side still have reason to hope. They have lost just one of their last six away games against Brighton (W3 D2) and have scored in all 12 Premier League meetings with the Seagulls. Southampton are also unbeaten in their last six games on Friday (W4 D2), which promises to be a tough game for the home side.
