Brighton vs Manchester United Tips

Brighton rose to the top of the Premier League table following their brilliant 3-0 win over Everton on the opening day.

Manchester United were hugely unconvincing in their clash with Fulham as they struggled to a 1-0 win at Old Trafford.

Head To Head

Brighton have won four of their last 10 against United, with the latter winning the other six matches.

Brighton Form

Brighton will be keen to extend their winning start to the 2024/25 Premier League season as they take on a misfiring Manchester United side in their first home game.

Brighton's exploits in front of goal will have put their opponents on high-alert, with the side tearing Everton apart. With two wins in their last three against their opponents, Brighton know they have the beating of a side that looks shaky at the back and blunt up-front.

With five wins in their last five in all competitions, Brighton have looked very strong. Any hopes of securing a European spot will hinge on winning games like this, with United likely to be battling for the same spots as Brighton this year.

Manchester United Form

Despite winning their opening game of the new campaign, Manchester United were the least convincing of any side that won on the opening day.

An 87th minute winner from new signing Joshua Zirkzee failed to paper over the cracks of United's performance in their opening game, with the side looking entirely beatable as their attack and defence struggled.

Better sides than Fulham will find a way to breach United's defence, and Brighton could prove to be the side to put them in their place early in the season. While Manchester United will feel they have the quality to put pressure on Brighton, the home side will prove too good for a travelling side that look disjointed from back to front.

Verdict

Brighton v Man Utd

I am backing less than 2.5 goals in this one as Brighton make it two wins in as many games, with this piling the pressure on United.
