| On Friday evening Brighton and Southampton face each other. Few people on the south coast of England would have thought that the transition from Roberto De Zerbi to Fabian Hurzeler would be so uncomplicated. After 12 matchdays we can say that the Seagulls are back on a stable footing. They are currently in 5th place, just two points behind second-placed Manchester City. The team can rely on the home strength in particular. It has not lost any of the six home games this season. Brighton have already hosted champions Manchester City and Tottenham this season. The attack is one of the Hurzeler team's showpieces. They have already scored 21 goals so far. Only five teams have been better in this regard. In five of the six games at the Amex Stadium, the Seagulls scored two or more goals. The guests are under a lot of pressure. Since their promotion in the summer, the euphoria at St. Mary's Stadium has evaporated. With only four points, they are at the bottom of the table. The head coach of the guests Russell Martin must quickly find a way to make the team competitive. The beginnings were at least there against Liverpool as the result was close. |
