Brighton are doing very well this season. No wonder bookmakers see the hosts as the favorites for the upcoming match, regardless of Manchester United’s name and titles, as well as their position in the table. So far, the Mancunians are 4th but could move up to 3rd if they win this rescheduled fixture. Even if the visitors do not win, they will still have a nice handicap from the nearest non-Champions League chaser – the advantage is 7 points. Brighton are also well motivated: they are just 2 points short of 5th place with 2 games left to play. So the club can get into European competitions.
After the upcoming meeting, I expect only high results. Brighton have scored an average of 2 goals per game this season. In addition, all 4 previous matches of the championship had 3 or more goals scored. In addition, there have been no less than 3 goals scored in the last 4 Premier League personal meetings at the Amex.
It is difficult to predict the outcome of the match – after all, Manchester United can take away a draw, and at the same time lose and concede a big goal. I don’t believe Brighton will lose.
