England
Amex Stadium
Manchester United gave themselves a chance of qualifying for the Conference League after beating Newcastle United at Old Trafford in the midweek game. United before the game were 3 points behind Newcastle United but are now level on points thanks to a clinical performance. Mainoo gave United the lead after Amad and Bruno combined, with the ball eventually landing on the midfielder who scored. Amad Diallo put United back into the lead with a left-foot finish after Gordon equalised for the Magpies. Hojlund scored the third on the break to secure three points for Erik Ten Hag’s men. United need to win this game against Brighton and hope Brentford beat Newcastle United to guarantee a place in Europe next season.

The recent head-to-head record between Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United is surprisingly very close. In the last 16 fixtures between these two teams in all competitions, Brighton has won just six times, and one game has ended in a draw, with Manchester United winning nine times. Brighton have recently dominated Manchester United in the Premier League, winning the reverse fixture at Old Trafford earlier this season.
Brighton struggled in their last game against Chelsea. The Seagulls are finding it difficult to win games as their record post-Christmas has been relegation-worthy. However, against Manchester United, the Seagulls are bound to get chances. It remains to be seen if they are still Manchester United’s bogey team.
The Red Devils in midweek were boosted by the return of Lisandro Martinez, Marcus Rashford, and especially Bruno Fernandes. That played a major role in them playing well. With their key players back, the Red Devils have a chance of winning this game. The margins are close, but we will back Brighton to have a slightly better chance of winning.

According to most of the betting websites, Brighton go into this game as odds-on favourites to win this game against Manchester United on Sunday at the Amex Stadium. Both Brighton and Manchester United have been teams with an unpredictable streak. Manchester United have not been the best of teams away from home; hence, they go into this game as underdogs. Brighton has had a decent season at home; however, they do come into this game on the back of a loss.
Brighton this season is where they are on the table because of their home form. They come into this game on the back of a loss but have not succumbed to many at home this season. They have lost only four games at the Amex. The Seagulls have a 44% win rate on the South Coast of England this season. De Zerbi is finding it difficult to get their scoring streak going in games. Most of the problems are due to the lack of attacking options. Brighton now averages 1.67 goals per game, up from an expected goal ratio of 1.74. Manchester United, on the other hand, averages 1.33 goals per game from an expected tally of 1.26 goals. The Red Devils have won 39% of their games away from home this season, which is way below their standard.
Our predictions and tips for this game are as follows: We expect both Brighton and Manchester United to score in this game. The Seagulls do have a fantastic scoring record at the Amex, as they beat the opposition goalkeeper in 83% of their games at home this season. Like Manchester United, their defence is all over the place, hence why we can also see the Red Devils scoring. Brighton have conceded in 83% of their home games this season, with Manchester United scoring in 68% of their away games.
Both teams have had exactly the same problems this season. Massive spaces in midfield that allow opponents to turn them over on the break. We can see this game being quite a high-scoring affair. Both Brighton and Manchester United are better at their attacks than their defences.
Our prediction is for both Brighton and Manchester United to score a combined total of four or more goals in this game. Our pick is for Brighton to get two or more goals in this game. In terms of scoring first, Manchester United have a marginally better record in comparison to Brighton. The Red Devils have scored first in 17 of their 37 games in comparison to Brighton, who have opened the scoring in 15 of their 37 games. We will back the home team in Brighton to start this game on a more positive note. United do tend to take time to settle in, and we can see Brighton capitalising on that.
In terms of scoring for Brighton & Hove Albion, we will back Joao Pedro to go in as the favourite to score in this game. The Brazilian striker missed Brighton’s game on the weekend but came on for them against Chelsea. He got an assist for the goal towards the end, but it was too late. Joao Pedro being on the pitch increases the likelihood of Brighton scoring, as he is involved most of the time.
For Manchester United, we will back Amad Diallo to go in as the favourite to score in this game. In the last couple of games, Amad has been backed by the manager and is getting started. The Ivorian winger is also impressive, having scored his first Premier League goal against Newcastle United in the last game. Amad’s ability to find space is a key characteristic that could hurt Brighton. Hence, he is our pick to score come Sunday.
Final prediction:Brighton & Hove Albion to beat Manchester United.
