Brighton vs Manchester United Match Preview

For the 3rd round of the English Premier League, Brighton host Manchester United.

Brighton had an impressive performance in the previous round when they prevailed 3-0 over Newcastle, away from home. In the first quarter of the game, they had already a double lead, and with another third goal in the last quarter of the match, they easily secured their first victory for this season.

Last Wednesday, they won 2-0 over Preston on the road for the League Cup and qualified for the next round of the competition, where they will face Manchester United again.

Manchester United, after their day off in the first round, they hosted Crystal Palace and suffered a 3-1 defeat after a disappointing appearance. Their defeat came as a result of their many defensive gaps, but also the fact that most of their key players did not perform well. They were back in the score since the 7th minute of the game, and at the 74th minute, they conceded a second goal from the penalty spot. Despite reducing the score at the 80th minute, Crystal Palace left no other space to the hosts, scoring the third and final goal.

On Tuesday, they easily qualified in the next round of the League Cup by dominating over Luton away from home with 3-0.

Brighton after their defeat in the first round bounced back taking an impressive victory, unlike Manchester, which comes from a home defeat and seems not 100% prepared for the new season. Manchester United will not have an easy task here, even if they appear improved I do not expect them to keep a clean sheet. My choice is BTTS: Yes, offered at 1.87 odds with Betshop.
