Southampton vs Brighton predictions, odds, betting tips and team news

Brighton will look to build on their win over Chelsea when they travel to Southampton in the Premier League on Saturday, February 22nd, at 3pm (UK time).

The Seagulls beat the Blues 3-0 last time out straight off the back off also knocking them out of the FA Cup. Southampton, meanwhile, lost a local derby 3-1 to Bournemouth, unable to build on a rare win against Ipswich Town at the start of February.

Brighton to win and BTTS Yes (2/1 with Sky Bet)

Southampton are the Premier League’s lowest scorers this season with just 19 goals but there hasn’t been a clean sheet in any of the last eight editions of this fixture. Saints have won just one of those meetings back in December 2020 and have taken just four points from their last six home games against the Seagulls.

Kaoru Mitoma anytime goalscorer (2/1 with Sky Bet)

Kaoru Mitoma has scored in two of Brighton’s last three Premier League away games. In fact, no Brighton player has netted more away goals (four) than Mitoma this season, while three of his six Premier League goals this season have come in his last five appearances — including one against Chelsea last time out. The Japan international also scored in the FA Cup win over the Blues.

How both teams go into Southampton vs Brighton

It’s looking increasingly likely that Southampton will be relegated back to the Championship after a disappointing run of form. After 25 matches, they have only secured two wins, scored 19 goals, and conceded 57, which places them at the bottom of those respective metrics. Southampton are ten points adrift of safety, meaning that while a great escape is mathematically possible, stringing together a series of victories seems unlikely anytime soon. Ivan Jurić’s team did recently end a six-game losing streak, part of a 13-match winless run (with 11 losses and two draws). That win came against fellow strugglers Ipswich Town, with their previous victory being at home against Everton, but they couldn’t build on it, losing 3-1 to local rivals Bournemouth last time.

Brighton have experienced a topsy-turvy campaign. After their first 25 matches, they find themselves sitting 10th in the Premier League table, seven points off the Champions League places. The Seagulls recently endured an eight-game winless streak (with six draws and two losses) before bouncing back with consecutive away wins against Ipswich and Manchester United, equaling their longest winning streak of the season—something they have achieved on three previous occasions. Brighton missed the opportunity to secure a third consecutive win and recently suffered a humiliating 7-0 defeat at the hands of Nottingham Forest, who themselves were recently trounced by Bournemouth. But they’ve bounced back well, beating Chelsea in both the FA Cup and Premier League.

Southampton team news

Taylor Harwood-Bellis and Jack Stephens could return from their respective injuries in this match. Ryan Fraser, Flynn Downes, and Adam Lallana should be available; however, there is no return date for Ross Stewart, who is dealing with a heel injury.

Brighton team news

Igor Julio is ruled out until the new season, while Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, and Jason Steele are long-term injuries. Pervis Estupinan and Solly March could return, while Mats Wieffer and Lewis Dunk should be available.

Southampton vs Brighton head-to-head
