Manchester United vs Brighton Live Stats & Betting Odds
Manchester United Prediction – Can Man Utd move into top half?
This won’t have been the case too many times in the history of the English top flight but Manchester United currently sit six league places and 2 points behind their visitors, Brighton, ahead of this Sunday afternoon clash at Old Trafford.
United registered a useful 3-0 home win over Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League during the week and today’s hosts will be hoping it’s a springboard for them to lift off as they look for all three points here and move up into the top half of the Premier League.
14th placed Manchester United have managed to win just 1 of their last 6 matches overall in the Premier League though, which was a 3-1 win at Norwich City, but after a tough start to their fixture schedule at home (having to play Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool), Manchester United will now be looking to press on.
A 4-0 win over Chelsea was followed by solid points in 1-1 draws with Arsenal and Liverpool amidst an overall home record of 2-2-1 8/4, and they’re unbeaten in all of the previous 7 meetings against Brighton at Old Trafford, winning 6 of these encounters.
Brighton Prediction – Can Brighton win three on the trot?
After solid foundations were built under former manager, Chris Hughton, Brighton have made a successful transition with new manager, Graham Potter, as The Seagulls currently occupy 8th place in the top flight after making a good start to the new campaign.
Brighton make their way up to Old Trafford on the back of 3 wins out of their last 4 matches having secured maximum points against Tottenham, Everton and Norwich City, but it’s worth mentioning that all of these recent victories were recorded at their AMEX Stadium.
Indeed, 3 of Brighton’s 4 league wins to date have come at home while an away record of 1-1-3 4/8 is far less convincing and contains just the one win on the road to date which was at Watford in a 3-0 win at the start of the season.
Since that win over the Hornets though, Potter’s side have slumped to 4 away matches without a win, losing 3 of these at Manchester City, Chelsea and Aston Villa.
Key-Facts – Manchester United vs Brighton
- Manchester Utd have lost just 1 of their first 5 matches at home in the EPL
- Brighton have lost 3 of their last 4 away matches in the Premier League
- Manchester Utd have won 6 of the previous 7 meetings at home against Brighton
Betting Tips Verdict
Manchester United with home advantage look well priced here and are worth backing against a poor-travelling Brighton side.
