The Seagulls finally managed to take three points in the last round. Brighton played away against Southampton and secured an important 2:1 win that stopped Graham Potter’s team from falling to the bottom of the standings. Before the victory at Southampton, the Seagulls lost in three matches in a row with different rivals in class. First they lost to Crystal Palace (1:2), then to West Bromwich (0:1) and Leicester (1:2). In general, Brighton’s losing streak reached the mark of five matches in a row at that time. Because of such a game, Brighton came close to the relegation zone and only three points in the last round allowed them to stay a short distance from the red line. Now the seagulls occupy the 16th position in the standings and are three points ahead of the group of outsiders. We must say that Brighton is one of the worst home teams of the current championship in England. For 14 matches in the home arena, Graham Potter’s wards have achieved only one victory, when at the end of January they defeated Tottenham (1:0). Brighton drew seven more matches at home and lost six. In terms of home play, the Seagulls are now only 18th in the Premier League. Hosts have a lot of personnel losses. Due to injuries, defenders Adam Webster, Dan Byrne, Tarik Lampty, midfielder Sulli March, as well as two forwards, Aaron Connolly and Florin Andone, will not be able to take part in the match.
Real Madrid made their way through the first stage of the Champions League playoffs, where they dealt with Atalanta twice (1:0 and 3:1), which brought the coveted pass to the quarter-finals of the main club tournament in Europe. The start of the Galacticos in the Spanish Cup was unsuccessful, where the team was defeated already at the first stage, losing to Alcoyano (1:2) from the third league. In the tournament of Primera the current winner of this championship is still in third position. For 27 rounds the “white” have 17 victories and six peaceful outcomes, which brought 57 points. The distance to the leader is six points, which excludes the possibility of a misfire in the remaining matches of the major league championship. After two peaceful outcomes with Real Sociedad (1:1) and Atletico (1:1), Zinedine Zidane’s wards snatched a victory from the modest Elche (2:1) only in the last minutes, for which we gave a prediction. “Creamy” hit the opponents’ goal 46 times, of which 15 goals were scored by Karim Benzema. Hazard, Mariano and Odriosola, who has a muscle injury, are in the team’s infirmary today. More today soccer predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
