Brighton vs. Manchester United Prediction, Expert Pick | EPL – BetMGM

To close out their Premier League campaign, Brighton & Hove Albion welcome Manchester United to the Amex Stadium on Sunday. 

These sides enter Sunday’s game in opposite form. Brighton lost 2-1 in the midweek against Chelsea, while United captured a 3-2 home win over Newcastle United. 

The last time these sides met, Brighton captured a 3-1 road win at Old Trafford. That marks four straight league wins for Brighton over the Red Devils. 

Here’s a look at the EPL odds and my prediction for Sunday’s match. 

EPL Odds – Brighton vs. Manchester United

• Brighton Moneyline: +105
• Manchester United Moneyline: +210
• Draw Moneyline: +310
• Over/Under: 3.5 Goals (-135/-105)

Premier League Prediction – Brighton vs. Manchester United

Total Over 3.5 Goals (-135) 

Historically, this spot has proved profitable to bet an over. 

Since the 2012-13 season, home favorites off a loss in March, April or May are 107-65-10 to the over (62.2%) when the total closes between 2.5 and 4. 

Plus, I’m using a bit of betting calculus to inform this play. 

Over the same timeframe, teams off a one-goal win that conceded between two and four goals are only 80-149 SU in the next game, suggesting Brighton will do no worse than a point. 

Recently, United’s road efforts have proved quite chaotic, and they’ve generally failed to win thanks to a bad defensive performance. 

Since March, United have played five road matches in which they’ve failed to win outright. Four of five cleared 3.5 goals with United allowing 1.5 xG in all five. 

Even if they return Lisandro Martinez to the lineup, Brighton have looked decent offensively at home. 

They created 1.25 xG against Chelsea on Wednesday and notched 1.6 non-penalty xG against Villa in their previous home match. 

Plus, the Seagulls created 1.7 xG and 2.5 psxG in the reverse fixture at Old Trafford. 

United is worse defensively on the road this season — they’ve allowed 1.44 xG per 90 at home compared to 1.98 xG per 90 on the road — so Brighton’s offense should perform well. 

Effectively, this bet comes down to whether Manchester United’s attack holds up their end of the bargain. 

The good news? They should feature all of Bruno Fernandes, Rasmus Hojlund and Marcus Rashford in the Starting XI on Sunday. 

In 16 matches where those three players all started, United created 1.36 expected goals per 90 minutes. 

But, in the six matches within that 16-game sample where United didn’t earn an outright win, four have cleared 3.5 goals. 

As a result, bet on goals Sunday on the South Coast.
