Manchester United vs Brighton : Cotes de pari
Manchester United
On Thursday, Manchester United recorded a 3-1 victory against Southampton, climbing to 12th place in the Premier League. However, the struggling Saints presented the Red Devils with plenty of challenges, sparking some concerns. Ruben Amorim believes the rest of the season will be a tough “roller coaster” for Manchester United, but he is confident improvements will become evident with more training sessions.
“I think it will be difficult until the end of the season. It all depends on the time we have for training. We continue to fight in the FA Cup and the Europa League. It is crucial to focus on Thursday next to win and enter the top 8. This will allow us to free up two matches on the schedule and have a full week of preparation. We only had seven full training sessions between the previous 14-15 matches. is very hard, but we must continue and we strive to win.”
Victory against Southampton was secured by a hat-trick from Amad Diallo. The Ivorian scored his first goal in the 82nd minute, but he stood out for his creativity throughout the match. Amad completed the most decisive dribbles and progressive passes among Manchester United players in the match. In addition to his three goals, he also recorded the most expected assists (xA). Since November, only Mohamed Salah (20) and Alexander Isak (17) have racked up more goal contributions in the Premier League, with Amad on 10 (five goals and five assists).
Brighton
On the final day, Brighton finally ended their run of eight matches without a win in the Premier League. Fabian Gürtzel’s side picked up a 2-0 away win against Ipswich, moving from 11th to 9th with the win.
-To achieve what had eluded them in the first round (a 0-0 draw), Brighton took advantage of their coach’s effective substitutions. Notably, Georginio Rutter scored the final score, netting his sixth goal of the season after coming on as a substitute. Only Bournemouth (11) and Fulham (8) have scored more goals from substitutes this season.
After the match, Fabian Gürtzel highlighted that the ability to make game-changing substitutions is the result of good bench depth achieved through a successful summer transfer window:
“We have a large and very promising squad. Today we were quite offensive, and we were able to change the course of the match effectively. It is always essential to make decisions in life and not to wait too long. With time, we can always analyze if this decision was bad It’s part of our job We are judged by our decisions: sometimes we are praised, sometimes criticized. For me, the main thing is to have the courage to. make decisions and not wait for something to happen passes. Substitutions can change the course of the game.
Manchester United vs Brighton: Predicted Teams
Manchester United vs Brighton: Author’s Prediction
Manchester United have lost five of their last six Premier League matches against Brighton, including the last two at Old Trafford. It’s also worth noting that there has never been a draw between the Red Devils and Seagulls in the Premier League, over a run of 15 matches.
However, I believe this series will end on Sunday. I’m expecting a match rich in goals and I’m leaning towards a draw. My prediction is that both teams will score + a total of over (2.5).
