Brighton gana
Southampton is welcoming Brighton in this Round 27 of English Premier League.
The venue: St Mary's Stadium in Southampton, Hampshire, England.
I had nice and easy winner in last round when Southampton was hosting Bournemouth and I believe we should repeat the bet against the host once again.
As mentioned back then, Southampton was coming from one of super rare victories but I didn't believe that was a sign of their sudden better form. This is the weakest team in 2024/25 EPL campaign and I would say the weakest by far. That win was more an exception than a rule. After all it happened in meeting with another relegation zone team, Ipswich Town.
After earning promotion from Championship to EPL, Southampton didn't show they're capable to deal with this higher level of competition. After losing to Bournemouth, they are only 2-3-20 overall and really embarrassing 1-1-10 here at home.
As for visiting team, they are coming after impressive 3:0 home win over Chelsea. So we can agree embarrassing match away at Nottingham Forest was just one bad day.
I believe this is going to end with another Southampton loss. Any other result would be big step back in Brighton's aim of catching the top 6 or 7 positions.
Unlike in last round when I went with Asian Handicap (-1), this time we have better odds on away win so I'm satisfied with simple 1x2 option.
1X2 (Ordinary Time): Brighton & Hove Albion
Best Odds: 1.70
