Southampton are visiting Brighton on 7 December. I think the meeting will turn out to be quite stubborn and there will be no advantage for one of the teams.
Albion has been gaining stable points in the last rounds, losing only to the leading Tottenham (1:2). To be fair, these were mostly draws, only with Aston Villa (2:1) it was easy. This allows the club to be out of the relegation zone in 16th position.
In my opinion, the home team will give their best in this fight. They need to rise from the bottom of the standings and create a reserve for competitors, and it’s time to correct the statistics of face-to-face confrontations. Most likely, you will be able to score points.
“Saints” in such a dense standings can claim high positions, since they are now in eighth place. The club has produced a fantastic streak of victories this season, although then it began to slow down. First, he drew with Wolverhampton (1:1), and then lost to Manchester United (2:3).
I believe that the guests will not hold on to the top for so long and will gradually start giving points to a not very strong opponent. One of those is just Brighton. On the other hand, losing with such superiority in class is also difficult. I expect a draw in this pair.
My prediction is a draw at 3.25.
