In this match, Brighton will try to get revenge on their perpetrator for their recent defeat in the semi-finals of the FA Cup. In addition, Mewy will be motivated by the fight for places in the Europa League zone. They are only 2 points behind Tottenham, who are in 6th place, but they have 3 matches to play.
Roberto De Zerbi’s team has everything necessary to achieve its goals. She has 1 more day of rest and is perfectly balanced. This is evidenced by its 5th and 3rd place in the Premier League in terms of expected goals scored (xg = 1.92) and conceded (xga = 1.18).
Manchester United feel comfortable in the Champions League zone, breaking away from the nearest pursuer – Liverpool by 7 points per game to play. In terms of the number of expected goals scored (xg = 1.64) and conceded (xga = 1.32), it ranks in the top six.
However, it will be very difficult to prove your high class in this meeting. The Red Devils have serious staffing problems in the center of defence. Two key players – Martinez and Varane – suffered long-term injuries at the same time.
It is worth noting that in away matches Manchester United presents itself exceptionally poorly in defence. Conceded 80% of away goals.
Brighton’s high offensive potential against Manchester United’s tough defense is likely to lead to a goalscoring match.
