Manchester United - Brighton & Hove Albion betting tips and odds

Predicting which side will win this match based on odds alone is a complete toss-up. We would say the hosts have a bit of an advantage, but their success is by no means assured.

Brighton & Hove Albion are coming into this match as underdogs, though the difference is not overwhelming. Even so, they’re not all that likely to win. An Away Win bet is priced at 3.20 with top online bookies, which could bring a decent profit.

Manchester United’s hopes they could return from their latest Premier League trip with a positive result were quickly quashed, despite the tied first half. The hosts suffered a remarkable dip in form during the second period which resulted in a Arsenal defeat.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Premier League game and win the bout, finishing : after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

Brighton don’t seem to have any issues in the goal-scoring department. Their most recent records show they’ve score more than 5 goals over the last 3 matches, so they’re on a bit of a positive trend already.

While they’re in the upper half of the table, the hosts could afford to move up in the standings if they have any ambitions for the season. Easier said than done, though – the match this Saturday could go either way.

The Seagulls are currently hoping to earn 1 point and move up to a Europa League qualification, though it’s still too early to tell if they can do it. However, it’s clear that earning points this Saturday will be quite difficult, considering most top bookmakers online are expecting them to lose.

The hosts may be favourites to win the match, but their lineup is in a somewhat weakened state. Tyrell Malacia, Amad Traoré, Tom Heaton, Sofyan Amrabat are all sidelined due to injury, which makes Manchester Utd’s position as favourites a bit shakier than it might seem.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet is easily the smartest choice for this fixture, consider in the teams’ respective histories. It’s a considerably more probable outcome than it seems, so the 1 odds are great value.
