Southampton vs Brighton: Free Predictions

Southampton have struggled in the Premier League but a win in the League Cup in midweek might spur them on ahead of a tricky home game against high-flying Brighton. The Seagulls don't have a good record against the Saints but are unbeaten in the pair's last three meetings.

Draw

We've got this game down as a draw as three of the last five league meetings between the two clubs have ended all square. Southampton have only won one of their last six matches in all competitions and two of those six matches have ended in draws after 90-minutes. Brighton played out a 2-2 draw in a friendly against Aston Villa earlier in December and will be looking to bounce back following defeat in their last league game, also against Villa.

Both Teams to Score

There is a good chance that we will be treated to goals at both ends of the pitch in this Boxing day derby. Each of the last five head-to-heads between Southampton and Brighton have ended with both teams scoring, while five of the host's and each of the visitor's last six competitive and non-competitive matches also end with both teams getting on the scoreboard.

What will the team lineups be on Boxing Day?

Southampton

The Saints had the home advantage against Lincoln City in midweek but fell behind early on to an own goal by their goalkeeper Bazunu. Che Adams equalised for Southampton in the 35th-minute and went on to score the winning goal 16-minutes from time as the hosts scrapped past their lower-league guests. Livramento, Lavia, Larios and Walcott could miss out on Boxing day due to injury.

Predicted Lineup: Bazunu (GK), Perraud, Lyanco, Walker-Peters, Salisu, Bella-Kotchap, Elyounoussi, Ward-Prowse, Maitland-Niles, Armstrong & Adams

Brighton

Brighton's last match came at home against Aston Villa back in November where a goal in the first minute from Mac Allister put the hosts in front. However, Ings scored twice, once in each half, to secure a big 3pts for Unai Emery's men. Moder, Webster, Welbeck and Mwepu are all doubts for the visitors this weekend.

Predicted Lineup: Sánchez (GK), Dunk, Estupiñán, Colwill, Lallana, Groß, March, Mac Allister, Caicedo, Welbeck & Trossard

*Lineups are usually announced 1hr before kick-off

Player to Watch: Leandro Trossard

Brighton's 28-year-old Belgian star is enjoying another impressive season on the south coast, averaging a goal every other game.

Last season, Trossard scored 8 league goals for the Seagulls and his best-ever total arrived back in 2014/15 for Lommel where he netted 16-goals in 30 starts. While he might not reach those heights, we are backing Trossard to get into double figures and enjoy his best Premier League campaign to date.

There has been talk of Trossard leaving Brighton this season and whoever does sign the attacking midfielder will get a player that likes to get in and around the box and isn't afraid to have a shot. The Seagulls will be hoping to keep a tight hold on their Belgian international and we can see Trossard stepping up in the derby match on Boxing Day and helping the visitors to secure a positive result against their south coast rivals.
