Brighton 1-1 Southampton

Current streaks

Recent form

Brighton

Brighton have shown impressive form recently, with three wins in their last six matches, including a notable victory over Premier League champions Manchester City. The Seagulls have been involved in several high-scoring encounters, with five of their last six games seeing over 2.5 goals, and both teams scoring in 83% of these matches. Their attacking prowess is evident, averaging 1.67 goals per game, but they've struggled defensively, conceding in their last five outings. Despite this, Brighton have managed to climb to fifth in the table, demonstrating their resilience and ability to outscore opponents. Their current run of form, coupled with their position in the league, suggests Brighton are a team to watch as they continue to challenge for European qualification.

Southampton

Southampton's recent form paints a bleak picture for the Saints, who find themselves rooted to the bottom of the Premier League table. The club have lost four of their last six matches, including their most recent two fixtures against Liverpool and Wolves. Despite their struggles, Southampton have managed to score in four of these six games, with their highest-scoring match being a 3-2 victory over Stoke City in the League Cup. Their defensive frailties are evident, having conceded 11 goals in this period and keeping just one clean sheet. The Saints' goal difference of -3 over these six matches suggests they are competitive but ultimately falling short in crucial moments. Interestingly, their matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring affairs, with 50% seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring in half of the fixtures.

Recent home/away form

Brighton

Brighton's recent home form has been impressive, with the Seagulls unbeaten in their last four matches at the Amex Stadium. Their attacking prowess is particularly noteworthy, as they have scored at least two goals in each of these six games, contributing to a high average of 2.33 goals per match. Defensively, however, Brighton have been less solid, conceding in every game and failing to keep a clean sheet. This has resulted in some thrilling, high-scoring encounters, with all six matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams finding the net. The 3-2 victories against Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League and Wolves in the League Cup stand out as particularly exciting fixtures. Brighton's ability to score against top opposition is evident in their 2-1 win over Manchester City, showcasing their potential to challenge the league's elite teams at home.

Southampton

Southampton's away form has been abysmal, with the Saints currently enduring a five-match losing streak on the road in the Premier League. Their sole positive result in their last six away fixtures was a 1-1 draw against Everton in the League Cup. The team's defensive frailties are glaringly evident, having conceded 13 goals in their last six away matches, an average of 2.17 per game, whilst failing to keep a single clean sheet. Southampton's attacking output has been equally poor, managing to score just four goals in these six matches, averaging a mere 0.67 goals per game. Three of their recent away defeats have been high-scoring affairs, with Southampton conceding three goals each to Arsenal, Bournemouth, and Brentford. This dismal run of form has contributed significantly to their current position at the bottom of the Premier League table, with only four points from 12 games.
