The Seagulls will take on the Saints in Matchday 13 of the Premier League

Brighton welcome Southampton to the Falmer Stadium for their clash in the Premier League, with both sides competing at opposing ends of the table. Brighton’s new manager, Fabian Hurzeler, has led the team to a very impressive season so far. The Seagulls are sitting in fifth place with 22 points out of 12 games so far. They have lost just twice, those defeats coming against Liverpool and Chelsea. They will expect to record victory in this game, and should they do so, they will cement their standing as a European contender.

Southampton have endured a nightmare return to the Premier League, sitting at the bottom of the table with four points. They will be disappointed not to have come away with at least a point in their game against Liverpool, as they lost by 2-3. The loss means they are five points adrift from safety and another defeat would plunge them into further trouble. This will be a mouthwatering clash for sure.

Form

Brighton (in all competitions): W-W-L-L-D

Players to Watch

Joao Pedro (Brighton)

Pedro can be described as a passive presser. He will try to cut off passing lanes when the opposition defenders are looking to play forwards and will often press them when they move into their weaker foot. He takes up good positions around the halfway line when Brighton are defending deep.

He opens up his body and will move to stay available for a quick counter-attack when his team wins the ball back. Pedro is a pacey player, so when space is available he will sit on the shoulder of the last defender and look for the ball in behind. He is a confident player who can take on any defender without any fear.

Mateus Fernandes (Southampton)

The Portuguese is capable of covering the ground with real intensity, dominating ground duels in advanced zones. His silky close control and robustness under pressure coupled with impressive long strides to glide away from the opposition with ease, vision and ability to execute any and every pass in the final third. Fernandes’s decision-making in the final third is also really good and he is a key player for the Saints.
