- Brighton is predicted to be a -0.5-goal favorite against Manchester United.
- Brighton earned all three points in three of the last four against United.
- I predict Brighton will do no worse than a draw on Saturday.
Fresh off a dominant road win at Everton, Brighton welcome Manchester United to the South Coast on Saturday.
In their debut match under manager Fabian Huerzler, the Seagulls earned a 3-0 road win as favorites.
Manchester United also started strong. A late Joshua Zirkzee tally vs. Fulham gave the Red Devils a 1-0 home win.
Here’s a look at the Premier League odds and my prediction for Saturday’s match.
Brighton vs. Manchester United Odds, Premier League
- Brighton Moneyline: +145
- Manchester United Moneyline: +160
- Draw Moneyline: +275
- Over/Under: 2.5 Goals (-185/+130)
- Both Teams to Score: Yes (-200), No (+140)
Brighton vs. Manchester United Prediction: Game Spread
My prediction for Saturday’s fixture is Brighton Draw, No Bet (-120).
The Seagulls, who have historically dominated Manchester United, match a historically profitable system.
Home favorites with a win percentage north of 50% that lost the last head-to-head meeting by two or more goals are 47-25 SU since 2012.
Within that 72-game sample, those home favorites have dropped all three points only 11 times.
It gets better for Brighton.
Shrink that 72-game sample down to 18 teams that won their last game by two or more goals, and bettors will find the home teams are 13-5 SU with zero outright defeats.
Plus, Brighton bossed United in the last meeting. Despite losing 2-0, they won the expected goals battle 1.9 to 1.3.
Plus, United created 72% of their xG tally AFTER Rasmus Hojlund entered the game. Hojlund won’t play on Saturday, which will severely hamper United’s attack.
That also wasn’t a one-off performance from the Seagulls.
In their last four meetings against United, Brighton are 3-0-1 (W-D-L) and possess a +0.39 non-penalty expected goal differential per 90 minutes.
Add in only five teams posted a worse road xGDiff per 90 last year than United, and I’ll take Brighton to do no worse than a draw.
