Southampton v Manchester United Betting Tips 14/09/2024

Southampton vs Manchester United kick-starts the Premier League return following the September international break, so here’s our FREE Southampton v Manchester United Betting Tips. The newly promoted Saints have struggled to get to grips with top-flight football again and remain pointless after three games. Man United haven’t fared much better in their opening fixtures, with just one victory this season. Can under pressure Erik Ten Hag get back to winning ways at St Mary’s this weekend? This match kicks off at 12:30 p.m. on Saturday. It will be shown live on TNT Sports.

Form and Team News

Southampton were promoted to the Premier League via the Championship play-offs last season. The Saints have lost their first three matches in the top flight. Russell Martin’s side fell to 1–0 defeats against Newcastle and Nottingham Forest before a 3-1 loss against Brentford. Man United made a winning start to their Premier League season, beating Fulham 1-0 at Old Trafford. It has since proven to be United’s only win of the campaign. The Red Devils lost 2-1 at Brighton before a 3-0 home thrashing by fierce rivals Liverpool (3-0) before the international break.

The latest team news confirms that Southampton goalkeeper Gavin Bazunu is ruled out for this clash. United remain with several first-team players. Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Rasmus Højlund, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelöf and Mason Mount are all ruled out.

Match Winner Bet

There are some decent odds across the board for the Southampton vs Man United match winner market. Currently, a Saints home win is the outsider pick due to their losing streak in the Premier League. The hosts are backed at 7/2 by QuinnBet – reflecting their current form. A potential draw has better odds, and BetUK is offering 16/5. The sides drew 0-0 in their most recent meeting at Old Trafford in 2023 and, given United’s current unpredictability, a stalemate could be a solid pick. We expect United to hit back on the South Coast this weekend. Ten Hag’s side have won three of their last five Premier League matches, and the international break is likely to work in the visitors’ favour here. Time on the training ground can pay off for United, and they can show their quality against an underperforming Southampton. At 4/5. William Hill even has competitive odds for United to notch a second victory of the season.

Over/Under Goal Betting

We aren’t expecting an open clash between Southampton and Man United at St Mary’s on Saturday. Southampton’s pair of 1-0 losses to start the season showcase their struggles in front of goal. In addition, one goal scored from three games suggests they may have difficulties in the attacking third this season. United have also been relatively goal-shy, with just two scored in three matches. Recent clashes between the Saints and Red Devils have also ended with few goals, and under 2.5 has landed in four consecutive meetings. A cagey clash may unfold in Hampshire this weekend, and we are sticking with a low-scoring result. Moreover, picking under 2.5 total goals comes with decent returns. BetMGM is currently offering 29/20 for less than three goals total at St Mary’s.

Anytime Goalscorer Bets

Despite their respective goal-scoring woes early in the campaign, Southampton and United do have dangerous men in the final third. Southampton’s top scorer from last season, Adam Armstrong has a continuous goal threat. The striker scored 21 goals in the 2023/24 season and has had plenty of chances already this season. In three starts, Armstrong has attempted the most shots in Southampton’s squad (2.3 per game). The 27-year-old is not afraid to have a pop at goal and could be worth backing to score at 11/4, offered by Bet365. Although Man United have also found scoring difficult this season, Bruno Fernandes stands out in the anytime scorer market. The Red Devils’ captain struck 10 league goals last season and had a solid international break. The Portuguese scored in a 2-1 win over Scotland last time out, which will give the midfielder confidence upon his Premier League return. At 12/5, also offered by Bet365, a Fernandes goal against the Saints is a solid pick.
