Manchester United VS Brighton & Hove Match Prediction

The sides met back in September in an action packed finale which produced two goals in stoppage time including a winning penalty from Bruno Fernandes. The goal came after the final whistle had initially been blown, however, referee Chris Kavanagh then consulted with VAR to award United the penalty. In 25 meetings between the teams, Brighton have only come out on top on three occasions, although they did win successive games against United in 2018.

Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction

Manchester United generally find a way to pick up three points at this stage of the season, but the opponents from the south coast will be no pushovers on this occasion. Expect Brighton to play with a confidence befitting their form over the past 11 games and we think they will cause United problems at times. Overall though, we expect the home team to run out winner.

Brighton Predicted Starting Line-up

Expected Line-up: 4-4-2

Manchester United going unbeaten in the league from Christmas onwards is the type of thing which football fans became accustomed to seeing during Sir Alex Ferguson’s time in charge. Although the record may not count for much in the final standings this season, Solskjaer will be keen to continue the run until the end of the season to show themselves as a returning force. Brighton haven’t been strong this campaign but have had sufficient quality to stay just out of the relegation zone for the entire season.

Manchester United have only lost one league game, to bottom of the table Sheffield United, since November 2.
