Southampton Preview – Can Southampton win south-coast battle?
Thursday’s hosts, Southampton, appear to have every chance of doing just that as they fought back admirably at Old Trafford to gain a point in a 2-2 draw against a wasteful Manchester United side, which also extended The Saints’s unbeaten run in the top flight to four matches.
Impressive back-to-back wins against 6th placed Wolves and 2nd placed Manchester City along with points picked up in draws on the road with Everton and Manchester United prove that Southampton are on the way up under manager, Ralph Hasenhuttl, and the hosts look set for further success against their south-coast counterparts, Brighton, in Thursday’s clash.
Although recent results at St Mary’s Stadium have been rather inconsistent, Southampton have still managed to pick up wins against the likes of Tottenham, Aston Villa and the aforementioned Manchester City, while recent exchanges against Brighton have seen The Saints run out 2-0 and 1-0 winners away from home in the previous two meetings.
Brighton Preview – Can Brighton stay out of trouble?
Recent heavy back-to-back defeats to Liverpool 3-1 and Manchester City 5-0, both on home turf at their AMEX Stadium, have ensured a nervy finish to the season for Brighton who still possess a valuable five-point cushion over fellow south-coast side, Bournemouth, but they face another tough assignment at Southampton on Thursday night.
Welcome wins against Arsenal and Norwich City along with picking up important points in draws with Wolves and Leicester City had helped lift The Seagulls away from immediate relegation danger, but they’ll be keen to avoid a third defeat on the trot against Southampton as Graham Potter’s side look to confirm their Premier League safety.
Brighton have become a stubborn unit to shift on their travels though as the visitors are unbeaten in their last five matches on their travels, but in truth, The Seagulls have picked up just one win from their previous nine outings away from home and could struggle to keep up with Southampton here.
