Southampton v Manchester United Betting Tips [31 August 2019]
The match
An inconsistent Manchester United (four points) will be in the sights of Southampton (three points) targeting their second win of the Premier League season. The Saints started the season with back-to-back losses to Burnley (0-3) and Liverpool (1-2), but have regained their bearings with a 2-0 win at Brighton & Hove Albion. That win remains their lone positive result in the last eight Premier League matches (W1, D3, L3). Playing at home, it gets slightly better with three wins in their last seven (W3, D2, L2), although Southampton are winless in three league games at this venue (D2, L1). The St. Mary’s happens to be a lucky ground for United, who have won more away matches at this ground in all competitions (ten) than any other side. However, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side continues to struggle for consistency. The 1-2 loss at home to Crystal Palace on matchday three meant the Red Devils have now won just one of their last eight top-flight games (W1, D3, L4). Their struggles are compounded on the road, with the side still searching for its first win on the road since February.
Key Statistics
- The home team on the day has won just three of the last 15 Premier League matches between these teams (W3, D5, L7).
- United are winless in five Premier League away matches (D2, L3).
- United have failed to keep a clean sheet in six straight Premier League trips and in 13 of their last 15 top-flight games home and away.
The bet of our experts
Southampton eased some of the early season worries with a win on matchday three, while Manchester United compounded their woes with a miserable loss against Palace. However, United haven’t lost at this venue since 2003 and will be confident of bouncing back. All these make for an interesting game, which could feature goals at both ends considering the poor defences of both the sides. As for the final result, United remain favourites to bag at least one point.
