Southampton vs Manchester United Match Preview

Southampton welcomes Manchester United in St. Mary's for the 2nd round of the English Premier League,

It was a bad start for Southampton in this season's Premier League as they lost 3-1 away to Everton. In the first half, they had a good performance and were the ones who opened the score at 19' and had the lead until halftime. In the second half, however, their performance dropped significantly, and as a result, they conceded 3 goals and did not get anything from the match.

Manchester United was impressive in their opening game, crushing Leeds at Old Trafford with 5-1. After many missed chances, the hosts opened the score in the 30th minute, but the answer came for Leeds at the beginning of the replay, when they leveled the match. However, from that point Manchester United was stormy and until 68΄ they had scored 4 more times, giving dimensions of triumph to their victory.

Southampton appeared bad in the opening game and showed that they still want a lot of work to reach the desired level of performance. United, for their part, was very good and beyond the victory offered an attractive performance and many goals. I expect a match with a fast pace and many chances, thus my choice is Over 2.5 goals at 1.75 odds.
