Brighton vs Manchester United: Premier League Prediction Match Details
On Saturday, the first kickoff of round two of the Premier League will see Brighton welcome Manchester United to the American Express Stadium.
Brighton Preview & Form
Brighton made a fantastic start under their new head coach, Fabian Hurzeler, continuing their impressive form in the first Premier League match against Everton. The Seagulls achieved a club-record fourth successive opening-day victory against Everton at Goodison Park, securing a stunning 3-0 win.
The Seagulls are currently on a brilliant run of form since their preseason games, as they are on a five-consecutive winning streak. Brighton’s combination of attacks has been superb during this run, as they scored at least three goals in four of their last five matches in all competitions while keeping three consecutive clean sheets. Hurzeler will hope his team can build on this form at home when they play against the Red Devils.
Notably, Brighton have beaten Manchester United four times since 2022.
Manchester United Preview & Form
Manchester United had a frustrating start on their opening night of the new Premier League campaign last weekend. However, Joshua Zirkzee made a dream start on his debut at Old Trafford, scoring a late goal to secure a crucial 1-0 victory over Fulham.
Erik Ten Hag will hope his side, with the addition of new summer signings, can build on their previous 2-0 win in their last match of the 2023–24 Premier League games with Brighton at the Ammex Stadium. Although United suffered a dramatic 3-1 defeat earlier in the 2023–24 campaign at Old Trafford, leading to questions from football pundits about Erik ten Hag’s suitability to lead the club
