BHA Vs SOU Fantasy Prediction: Brighton Vs Southampton Best Fantasy Picks for Premier League 2020-21 Match

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.

Goal-Keeper

Alex McCarthy from Southampton will be making his way into our team as the goal-keeper for this fixture. He has been a steady name for the side, a player who has remained undeterred despite being peppered with shots occasionally.

Defenders

He’s joined up by a duo, one which has time and time again proved its ability to make its presence felt in attack as well. Jan Bednarek scored for the club the last time around to see him become the first pick from the side with CB Jannik Vestergaard who has the two goals being his partner for the outing.

Brighton meanwhile will see the returning wingback, Tariq Lamptey be an instant pick for us given his devout ability to involve himself in the side’s attacks.

Midfielders

Scoring and assisting the one goal apiece for his side sees captain James Ward-Prowse be the first name from Southampton in this slot. Oriel Romeu will be giving him company along with Moussa Djenepo who snagged an assist for the side in the same fixture.

Scoring his side’s penalty against Liverpool to rescue a draw for the club, Pascal Gross will be the first part of the puzzle from the home team, one which is completed by Solly March who has scored twice this season.

Strikers

Danny Welbeck won the penalty which lead to Brighton’s 1-1 draw against Liverpool to see him complete the set of picks from the home team. The three goals for Che Adams meanwhile see him represent our club from Southampton in this docket.

Captain And Vice-Captain

With three goals and three assists, Adams’ captains our side while James is the vice-captain.
