Brighton v Manchester United Premier League Betting Tips
Brighton and Manchester United started the new Premier League campaign with respective wins. The Seagulls raced to the top of the table following a thumping 3-0 win at Everton. United defeated Fulham at home but were made to wait until the closing moments to seal all three points. Both sides will want to continue building momentum at the Amex on Saturday, and here is our Brighton v Manchester United Premier League Betting Tips. Who will emerge as the winner? Brighton vs Man United will be shown live on TNT Sports. It kicks off at 12:30 p.m.
Form and Team News
Brighton kickstarted their new era under Fabian Hürzeler with a confident 3-0 victory at Goodison Park on Saturday. It was a complete performance to follow up from four consecutive wins during pre-season. Man United also got three points on the board during an opening match win against Fulham (1-0). New signing Josh Zirkzee struck in the 87th minute to seal the victory. This win followed a 1-1 draw against Man City in the Community Shield. However, the Red Devils eventually lost 7-6 on penalties.
Brighton will be without Solly March, Bart Verbruggen and Julio Enciso. United also have several injury concerns. Luke Shaw, Rasmus Hojlund, Tyrell Malacia and Leny Yoro are ruled out.
Match Winner Bet
Brighton and Man United last met on the final day of the 2023/24 season, and Erik Ten Hag’s side ran out 2–0 winners at the Amex. However, the Red Devils are not favourites this time around following some patchy recent form. United have won just two of their last five and are winless in five of their last six away in the Premier League. Such form leaves Untied Narrow Outsiders at 17/10, offered by William Hill. A draw comes with longer odds at 11/4 from Boylesports. Yet Brighton and Man United rarely draw as the Seagulls haven’t had a stalemate in seven consecutive matches. Similarly, United have not drawn a league fixture in their last five. Fast-forward three months since United beat Brighton at the Amex, and the context has shifted. Brighton look renewed under Hürzeler, and the South Coast side has shaken off the poor form that set in late in Roberto De Zerbi’s tenure. In pre-season, the Seagulls thrashed Kashima Antlers (5-1), Tokyo Verdy (4-2) and Villarreal (4-0). They backed these results up with a top-quality performance at Everton and we think Brighton looks the real deal. We are sticking with a Seagulls win against United and Bet365 is providing 6/4 odds.
Over/Under Goals Betting
It’s evident that Brighton will try to play attacking football with Hürzeler at the helm. This, combined with United’s still leaky defence, seems like a recipe for goals. In pre-season, Brighton scored 14 goals in four matches, while United conceded seven in their final three friendlies. Goals have also been common in recent Premier League meetings between Brighton and Man United, with over 2.5 landing in three of the last five clashes. At 4/7 odds, offered by Unibet, backing over 2.5 goals at the Amex could be a good value bet this weekend.
Anytime Goalscorer Bets
We have identified two potential goalscorers for the Brighton vs Man United match on Saturday. First, United captain Bruno Fernandes looked sharp against Fulham. Even though he didn’t get on the scoresheet, the Portuguese had six shots and individual expected goals of 1. As the Red Devil’s chief penalty taker and set-piece specialist, there could be decent value in backing Fernandes to score at the Amex. Bet365 have the best current odds for a Fernandes goal at 3/1. But a Brighton player who looked rejuvenated in the Everton win was Karou Mitoma. After missing the second half of last season due to injury, Mitoma hit back with an opening-day goal at Goodison Park. In addition, the Japanese forward had plenty more chances to score, attempting four shots during the clash. Brighton bossed possession at Everton with 62% and attacked with pace and intent. A similar approach against United could lead to more Mitoma chances, and he is our top anytime scorer pick, with Star Sports offering 7/2 odds here.
