Manchester United News and Form – Can the Red Devils beat Brighton?

It was all roses for Manchester United when they took a win at Norwich in their last away game. Was that going to be the turning point of their season? No. They lost their following game which was out at Bournemouth last weekend. It is a W1 D2 L3 record only that the Red Devils have picked up in their last six games. At Old Trafford for this campaign, they are W2 D2 L1, currently on a three-match undefeated streak of form there, drawing their last two.

Moplay

Those were both 1-1 draws against Arsenal and Liverpool. So they have shown up well recently when it has been against stronger opposition in the league. The two homes wins notably that United have taken this season have been against Leicester and Chelsea. It has only been 8 goals in 5 home games that United have scored this season. They haven’t been bad defensively, conceding at under a goal per game on average. That’s two clean sheets from their five home league games.

The Red Devils though haven’t managed to earn a clean sheet in any of their last six league games, home or away. It is a three-match winning streak that they have going at home against the Seagulls and they are strong favourites for this fixture. The big trend of United’s league games are low-scoring affairs, all but one of their last eight have gone under 2.5 goals. At this stage of last season’s campaign, United were seven points better off than they currently are. They have conceded 73% of their goals this season in the second half of matches.

Brighton News and Form – Can Brighton spring a surprise at Old Trafford?

Brighton have some form going behind them at the moment. They have won three of their last four played (L1). That has been a great return from the Seagulls to earn their spot in the top half of the table. They netted at least two goals in each of those three recent victories as well. However, the wins were all on home soil and they have failed to take a win in any of their last four away games.

The Seagulls have taken a W1 D1 L3 record away from home this season, losing their last two away from the Amex (at Chelsea and Aston Villa). It has been four goals only that Brighton have scored on their travels this campaign, so that has been a poor return. In total they have picked up two away clean sheets, conceding at an average of 1.6 per road game. Three of Brighton’s four defeats in league action this season have been by a margin of at least two goals.

A good trend with the Seagulls is that they have been level at halftime in three of their away games this season (W1 L1). The away record that they have in the Premier League is pretty dismal. They have won only 4 of their last 37 league away games, which will give punters zero confidence in them. They have netted in each of their last four games in the top flight, home and away. But they have conceded exactly two goals in their last two away games, however.

Manchester United vs Brighton Predictions

Man Utd to win: This should be a good opportunity for Manchester United to pick up three points in this fixture. They shouldn’t find Brighton too big of a threat in the game at all and leaning towards a win to nil for United looks a good proposition.
