Brighton vs Manchester United 07.05.2022

Brighton welcome Manchester United to the Amex Stadium hoping to secure a win that’d keep them in pole position to land a first top-ten finish since returning to the top flight of English football four years ago. The mood in the home camp should be high after an impressive 3-0 win at Wolves last round made it just one defeat from their last six Premier League (PL) outings (W3, D2).

That’ll be music to the ears of Manchester United who are attempting to end a run of four straight PL away defeats – that’s as many as they had across their previous 42 league road trips. Ending that torrid away run with a victory here should all but confirm European football next season, even if it won’t be within the continent’s premier competition.

Going by the significance of this game for United, and Brighton’s current form, we anticipate a tight first half which will feature less than 2 goals.
