Brighton vs. Manchester United Predictions

• Where: Amex Stadium, Brighton, England
• When: Saturday, August 24, 07:30 PM

The Seagulls and the Red Devils start the second round of the Premiership this Saturday at Amex. Both teams won their opening games, though, we have to say that the hosts managed to be much more convincing than Erik Ten Hag’s unit. That’s why Brighton hopes to make an upset here and win another three points, beating a famous rival, thus gaining massive momentum ahead of other challenges.

Brighton vs. Manchester United Preview

Brighton

Brighton’s recent form has been nothing short of fantastic. With four consecutive victories in the preseason, including wins against Kashima, Verdy, QPR, and Villarreal, they are a team to watch out for.

Now, we got used to them winning games and scoring plenty of goals, but the latest three ended with the Seagulls keeping clean sheets while netting eight times.

Everton was blown into pieces, with Mitoma, Welbeck, and Adingra hitting the back of the Toffees’ net. With all these players fired up now, we expect to see Brighton very offensive-minded again in this event.

Manchester United

Erik Ten Hag opened the season with a win, but his United needs more work and improvement if they want to do something notable this year. The Red Devils clawed a 1-0 victory at home against Fulham thanks to Joshua Zirkzee’s late goal, which relaxed both the fans and the players.

Going forward, United must be much better in all the areas on the field because they weren’t very confident against the Cottagers. The game against Brighton will be the best possible test for Ten Hag and his crew.

In general, this was a mild opener for United, but all that counts are three points. Still, Ten Hag’s margin for error is very, very thin, and the soon the positive results stop, he will be under heavy pressure.

Brighton vs Manchester United Head to Head

Brighton was victorious against United last season at Old Trafford, 1-3, but the Red Devils responded by defeating the Seagulls at Amex, 0-2. In the previous four years, we saw these two units meet five times in Brighton, with the hosts winning twice, United also, and one tie.

Brighton vs. Manchester United Predictions

The Seagulls will attack United’s shaky defense. The morale is high, the pressure isn’t present because it is still early, and we expect to see the hosts more than ready to compete with the pale guests. We respect United—we really do—but in this case, our pick will be a bit courageous—Brighton over 1.5 goals. With the way they have been playing lately, this pick has enormous value, and we have to go after it.

Our verdict: Brighton Over 1.5 goals
