The Premier League Boxing Day action brings us several interesting matchups, one of which certainly is the South Coast Derby – Southampton vs Brighton.
St. Mary’s Stadium is the place where the game will take place on Monday, December 26. That’s where four of the five Southampton vs Brighton EPL duels finished in a draw. Are we going to see the same outcome this time?
Before Betting on Southampton vs Brighton
The Saints from Southampton are horrible in the 2022-23 season with just 12 points (3-3-9) after 15 rounds. They’re in the relegation zone, with just two points more than the team sitting at the very bottom of the Premier League table.
Right now, oddsmakers see them as a serious candidate for relegation with odds of +162. If they don’t want to pack their bags, they need to start playing better soccer ASAP. The trouble is that winning points against Brighton is a very difficult job knowing that the Seagulls are in the no.7 position in the EPL with 21 points (6-3-5).
On the bright side for Southampton, their opponent will miss a couple of key men, most notably, Alexis Mac Allister. The 2022 World Cup winner is currently in his home country of Argentina where he’s celebrating the trophy with his teammates from his national team.
