Manchester United vs Brighton Premier League Prediction Match Details
The Premier League continues on Sunday this weekend at Old Trafford, with Manchester United set to welcome Brighton for the round 22 games. Can Ruben Amorim’s men follow up on their historic midweek victory, or will the Seagulls expose United’s defense for the third consecutive time in a row at Old Trafford?
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United will come into this weekend’s league match after staging a historic, inspired comeback by Amad Diallo against bottom place Southampton on Thursday night, with the Red Devils winning the game 3-1 at Old Trafford and Diallo scoring a remarkable 12-minute hat trick in the game. The midweek victory ended the Ruben Amorim four-league match winless streak, with the team playing with great determination to get a positive result, and they will fancy their chances against Brighton at home. The reverse fixture in the first half of the season saw Brighton beat Manchester United 2-1 at the Amex Stadium under former manager Erik ten Hag, with Joao Pedro scoring a late header in the game. Currently, the Red Devils sit in 12th place in the Premier League standings with 26 points, nine points behind the top six. It is worth noting that since the arrival of Ruben Amorim, United has only kept one clean sheet in the league, with each of the games ending with two or more goals.
Ruben Amorim also ended their three successive game defeats at Old Trafford with the midweek victory over Southampton. The Red Devils have now conceded in each of their last four league games, with three of the games ending with more than three goals.
Brighton Preview & Form
Brighton also ended their dreadful eight-league match winless run with an impressive 2-0 victory over relegation-battling Ipswich Town on Thursday night at Portman Road thanks to second-half strikes from Mitoma and Rutter. The Seagulls fans will now be hoping the midweek victory can steer up their chances of returning to European competitions this season. Currently, Fabian Huzeler’s men sit ninth in the league standings with 31 points from 21 league matches, four points behind the top six. 11 of the Seagulls’ last 13 league matches have resulted in both teams finding the back of the net.
On the road, Fabian Huzeler’s men have now remained unbeaten in the last four league matches, with three of the games ending in successive draws. The midweek victory over Ipswich was the first time the Seagulls kept clean sheets in the last seven away matches.
