Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Brighton
Match Time & Date:
29 November 2024
20:00
Prediction: 3-1
Southampton
Friday’s football game between Brighton and Southampton will open round 13 of the new Premier League campaign. The Seagulls aim to build on back-to-back wins over Man City and Bournemouth and they are seen as hot favourites to beat the relegation strugglers at home ground. Talented Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba serves a one-game ban, while both Adam Webster and Solly March are rated doubtful for the match. Both Ferdi Kadioglu and James Milner are out of contention with injuries for the home team.
The Saints, on the other hand, suffered a heart-breaking 3-2 loss to league leaders Liverpool. As the rock-bottom side continue struggling at the back, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from Friday’s encounter. The likes of Jan Bednarek, Aaron Ramsdale, Will Smallbone, Ross Stewart, and Gavin Bazunu are sidelined with injuries for the away team.
