Southampton vs. Brighton 12/26/22 EPL Soccer Picks, Predictions, Odds

Southampton and Brighton face off on Monday in an English Premier League at St. Mary’s Stadium. When these two teams faced off on April 24th the game ended in a 2-2 draw. 

Southampton currently sits in 19th place in the standings, having picked up 12 points so far this season. Southampton’s last game came on December 20th against Lincoln City in the EFL Cup. Che Adams scored in the 25th and 74th minute to get the job done and help secure the victory. Southampton had 69 percent of the possession and six shots on target. Tino Livramento and Juan Larios are both dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. Che Adams is expected to get the start in this game, and they are going to need a strong, productive game out of him. 

Brighton currently sits in 7th place in the group, having picked up 21 points so far this season. Brighton faced off against Charleston on Wednesday in the EFL Cup. The game ended 0-0, but they lost the game in a penalty shootout. Brighton had 78 percent of the possession and six shots on target, but they couldn’t find the back of the net. Alexis Mac Allister is still resting from the World Cup and won’t be available for selection in this game. Danny Welbeck, Jakub Moder and Adam Webster are all still dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. 

Both of these teams are still missing key players, and it’s really going to put a hurting on the offense for both teams. Southampton and Brighton are both going to have issues getting quality scoring chances, and that will be the difference here. Back the under to cash here. I am also throwing a few dollars on an exact score of 0-0.
