Predict the result of the match Man Utd - Brighton

Man Utd vs Brighton Prediction

Recent results do not reflect the quality of Man Utd. They only do well in taking advantage of opponents' mistakes. In terms of proactive aspects of play, coach Ruben Amorim's team still has problems.

Even against the bottom team Southampton, Man Utd still conceded and were behind until almost the end of the match. The "Red Devils" only won thanks to the individual breakthrough of Amad Diallo.

Man Utd often find it difficult to play as an "underdog" at home. In the last 4 matches played at Old Trafford, the "Red Devils" suffered 3 defeats and conceded a total of 9 goals.

Brighton's form is not bad. They are on a streak of 6 consecutive matches without losing. In terms of away matches alone, this team is also unbeaten in the last 5 matches.

Brighton's wins are not as many as Man Utd's but they have lost much less (only 4 matches this season). Brighton have shown that they are a difficult opponent to beat.

Expected lineup

Man Utd welcomes Diogo Dalot back after his "suspension". The absentees are still Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Jonny Evans and Mason Mount. Coach Amorim does not have many options to rotate the squad too much despite being in a period of a tight schedule.

Brighton's minor injury list includes Georginio Rutter, Tariq Lamptey, Joao Pedro and Yankuba Minteh, who are all available. However, the visitors' injury list is still long, with Igor Julio, Ferdi Kadioglu, James Milner, Mats Wieffer, Evan Ferguson and Jack Hinshelwood all out.

Man Utd: Onana; De Ligt, Maguire, Martinez; Mazraoui, Eriksen, Ugarte, Dalot; Diallo, Fernandes; Zirkzee

Brighton: Verbruggen; Veltman, Van Hecke, Dunk, Estupinan; Baleba, O'Riley; Adingra, Rutter, Mitoma; Welbeck

Prediction Man Utd vs Brighton

Opta's supercomputer predicts that Man Utd have a higher chance of winning (40.8%) but not much more than Brighton. In the last 7 matches between the two teams, Brighton beat Man Utd 5 times. Man Utd is still at risk of losing points in this match.

Score prediction: Man Utd 1-1 Brighton.
