These teams met last season in the EPL. Southampton won 1-0 at Brighton and they played to a 2-2 draw at Southampton.
Southampton
Southampton lost their second consecutive EPL match last week against Liverpool. They will now be looking for their first win or even their first point of the season.
[dfads params=’groups=257&limit=1&return_javascript=1′]
Southampton got their first goal of the season last week against Liverpool. Their goal came in the 83rd minute so almost the entire game went without much excitement. They also had only 36% of possession, so that is another area that needs to improve.
Believe it or not, but Southampton seemed to have played better defensively against Liverpool than they did against Burnley. Liverpool did take 15 shots, with 6 being on target. To win this game, Southampton needs to hold Brighton to just 1 goal. If they allow more than 2, they will be in trouble of dropping a 3rd straight game.
Brighton & Hove Albion
Brighton played to a disappointing draw last week against West Ham United. This was after a dominating performance on the opening weekend. They will now look to win their first home game against a below average opponent.

The attack for Brighton was not as sharp last week an only managed to score 1 goal. They still controlled 57% of the possession and took 16 shots. Only 4 of these shots were on target, but it was a performance to build on. Leandro Trossard, a new signing for Brighton, scored in the 65th minute to cancel the goal from West Ham. He also had a goal overturned, so it was nice to see him get on the score sheet.
The defending allowed just 1 goal in the 61st minute last week, but other than that, they held very strong. They allowed just 8 shots the entire game and will need a similar performance to shutdown this Southampton squad.
