Brighton & Hove Albion vs Southampton Prediction

Brighton & Hove Albion have played some good football, but have not been able to procure the result they often deserved. Graham Potter's side have talented youngsters like Ben White, Tariq Lamptey and Aaron Connolly in their squad, and they will have to ensure that the Seagulls get a result that matches their performance.

Southampton, on the other hand, have impressed under the management of Ralph Hasenhuttl. The Saints sit sixth in the league table, and despite missing star striker Danny Ings due to an injury, the likes of Che Adams and Theo Walcott have filled in admirably.

Southampton were very close to securing a result against Manchester United. Given their current form, they could prove to be a stronger team than Brighton & Hove Albion on Monday night.

Prediction: Brighton & Hove Albion 1-2 Southampton
