The Premier League season is on track for many clubs, but remains quite tight in some positions. And as the dates advance, the matches are getting increasingly complicated. In the same way, the points differences are getting smaller and, therefore, the possibilities of upsets on the table are greater. A match, even if it is a draw, can make all the difference for a club to take the lead. Southampton vs Brighton will be one such game, with both teams needing to take the points. A lot depends on games like this at this stage of the competition.

Southampton’s Survival Hangs in the Balance

Southampton is finding it difficult to rack up the points they need to guarantee permanence in the Premier League.

As of their ninth game this season, they had barely escaped from the bottom of the table. By then, the Saints would have had four consecutive defeats in their last matches.

With this Southampton vs Brighton match coming up, they should do their best to get at least a draw to ensure they have a shot at staying in the competition for another season.

Brighton Are Having a Good Season, but Slacking off Could Mean Getting Left Behind

Brighton is in a comfortable position that allows them, even with some stumbles, not to worry continuously about a possible relegation to the Second Division.

The Seagulls go into the Southampton vs Brighton away game looking to take those points on the road, even if they don’t have the same pressure to achieve.
