The past few matches have been positive for Manchester United and they’ll want to keep up when they host Brighton next. Going into this Premier League match, United are 12th, with Brighton three spots ahead of them. We have the prediction for this match below.
Manchester United have been posting positive results, albeit with some struggle. In their last match, they scored three late goals to stem imminent defeat at home to bottom side Southampton.
The 3-1 win handed the Red Devils their third straight undefeated outing. That was their first outright win in the last seven matches, a run in which they posted four defeats.
Brighton have picked up a profile as United’s bogey team, and they’ll want to enhance the same here. After a 2-1 win in the first meeting this season, they have the chance to complete a double over their hosts.
They’ll be unfazed at playing at Old Trafford, as they won there on their last visit. Brighton have actually lost just once in six Premier League matches against Manchester United.
They claimed wins in their last two visits here, and their current form will build their confidence. The Seagulls are unbeaten in their last six matches, the most recent two having ended in wins. The latest was a 2-0 victory at Ipswich Town.
Manchester United have had a tough season and this will be another difficult opponent coming to town. While their recent matches have offered some hope, United are still struggling. That was clear in their win against Southampton, their first inside 90 minutes in the last seven matches.
There isn’t much guarantee from their home matches either, yet Brighton have a good run against them. in the last six league meetings between the two, Brighton claimed five wins. Our prediction for Manchester United v Brighton is that Brighton wins the match.
