Brighton & Hove Albion - Manchester United predictions

The online bookies marked Brighton & Hove Albion as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Manchester United winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

Out of their home field and heading into this match as underdogs, Manchester Utd would need to play their best to have a hope of winning. That said, even a draw would be a positive outcome, and all three results are quite possible.

Losing a home game is never easy especially when two teams are so close to one another. Ut that’s exactly what happened to The Seagulls in the last round when they suffered a narrow Chelsea defeat after falling behind during the first 45 minutes.

Man. Utd had a challenging matchup in the previous round. Top online bookies priced their victory at 2.40, which is not great if you consider the fact that they were the home team in that bout. Thankfully, they grabbed an early lead and turned it into an HT/FT victory, much to the joy of their home supporters.

Albion’s fans are rather disappointed with what they’ve seen from their defence in recent home games. The previous three matches saw them concede 6 times, which is not a great look.

The Red devils’s defence seems to be their most prominent weakness at the moment. Having allowed 7 goals in their previous 3 games, it might be a good time to look at Over 3.5 Goals betting markets when it comes to their next match.

One of the main reasons the bookies are pricing a home win at 2.14 is the previous clash between these two teams. Earlier in the season, Brighton won as visitors. To be fair, though, it was a relatively narrow victory.

The hosts went through a slew of unfortunate injuries recently, rendering some of their players unavailable for the match this Sunday. Jan Paul van Hecke, João Pedro, James Milner will not be playing, though the team is still considered likely to win.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.30 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
