Southampton have only won one match at St Mary’s this season, with that victory coming against a troubled Chelsea side who would part company with Thomas Tuchel shortly after that. The Saints have drawn three at home and also experienced three defeats, although Nathan Jones will hope that he can have a desired effect at the club.
Jones decided to leave Luton Town for the second time after another successful spell at Kenilworth Road. Having steered the Hatters to the Championship play-offs against all the odds, the Southampton owners recently replaced Ralph Hasenhuttl with the Welshman although they are big betting outsiders to win.
Brighton are in much better shape and Albion sit seventh in the Premier League table, with the Seagulls having won three, drawn one and lost three on the road. There have been a sum total of twenty-five goals in the seven games, with Over 2.5 Goals potentially in the running as a decent bet.
Roberto de Zerbi’s team are warm favourites with the Premier League betting sites to claim three points and they enjoyed three consecutive wins before the World Cup when beating Chelsea, Wolves and Arsenal before a defeat against Aston Villa. However, they have the attacking weaponry to make it a difficult afternoon for their opponents.
