Southampton make the trip to Brighton for Monday Night Football in the Premier League on matchday 11. The Saints are sixth in the table with 17 points from their ten games thus far; The Seagulls are ten places below them in 16th place with ten points from as many games. Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl was fuming last weekend after watching his players throw away a two-goal lead to lose 3-2 at home to Manchester United. It brought a seven-game unbeaten streak for Southampton to an end. Brighton, meanwhile, were impressive in their last league outing, drawing 1-1 at home with champions Liverpool. The hosts needed a penalty in stoppage-time to end the game level, Pascal Gross scoring from the spot. Brighton have only lost one of their last six matches. If they can improve upon the one victory they picked up on that run, Brighton could stay up comfortably. It doesn't seem likely that their next success will come at the Amex, given that they have failed to win their last nine home matches in the league.

Southampton will hope to bounce back quickly from that defeat to United, and their away form may be the springboard to recovery. Unbeaten in their last four Premier League outings on the road, Southampton have recently taken points home from Chelsea and Wolves. The Saints are unbeaten in their previous eight matches against Brighton in all competitions, winning four times. All four of those triumphs came at the Amex. With that in mind, we think that backing Southampton draw no bet is a wise selection for this game.
