BHA Vs SOU Fantasy Team Probable Playing 11 And Match Report: Brighton’s defensive woes make for a cause of concern as high flying Southampton visit.
For all their uptick in form this season, the defensive side of the game continues to remain a monkey on the back of Brighton supporters. The club has failed to bolster up the defensive side of its game, a plight which saw the side left beating itself up for its debacle last gameweek.
Racing into a two goal lead against Manchester United in the first half, Southampton were as dismal in the second half as impressive they were in the first. The team fell apart at the back, collapsing like a house of cards to leak three goals and ultimately lose a tie which was well within the side’s grasp.
Where Southampton failed to make their dominance count, Brighton on the other hand were extremely impressive against Liverpool. Pushing the current champions hard across the 90 minutes, Brighton were finally rewarded for their perseverance and resillinace as they pulled off a 1-1 draw on the day.
BHA Vs SOU Fantasy Probable Winner
With both the sides known to crumble defensively, we could be in for an intriguing attacking contest today. What will see the wind ultimately sway in Southampton’s favour is their attacking set of players, ones who should manage to script a win for the team.
