Man Utd vs Brighton - Premier League

Man Utd Win or Draw

Double Chance
1/3

Reason for Tip

United have been strong at Old Trafford this season, with only one defeat in their last eight Premier League home matches. Brighton, meanwhile, have struggled for wins on the road against top-half sides. Backing United or the draw covers both a home win and a stalemate, reflecting United’s strong home form and Brighton’s tendency to pick up fewer points away.

Under 3.5 Goals

Over 3.5 Goals
63/100

Reason for Tip

Only two of United’s last six home league matches have featured more than three goals. Brighton have also been more conservative in recent weeks compared to their early season matches. With both sides likely to cancel each other out for long periods, this total goals line looks a sensible inclusion.

Over 7.5 Corners
4/11

Reason for Tip

Both teams average high corner counts. United’s attacking width at home often leads to multiple deliveries into the box, while Brighton’s possession-based approach also results in frequent corners. Their last three meetings have all produced at least eight corners.

Over 3.5 Cards
8/11

Reason for Tip

This fixture has a history of being competitive, with at least four cards shown in three of the last four meetings. United’s full-backs and Brighton’s aggressive press often lead to tactical fouls in midfield and out wide, increasing the likelihood of multiple bookings.

Matheus Cunha 1+ Shots on Target

Player 1+ Shots On Target
11/20

Reason for Tip

Matheus Cunha has been in strong attacking form, regularly testing goalkeepers. He averages over one shot on target per game this season and is one of the first names on set pieces and counterattacks, making this a realistic selection.

Diogo Dalot 1+ Fouls

Player 1+ Fouls
3/10

Reason for Tip

Dalot faces a lively Brighton left side that likes to attack space aggressively. He has committed at least one foul in four of his last five league appearances and often picks up tactical fouls when isolated one-on-one.

Mats Wieffer 1+ Fouls

Player 1+ Fouls
2/11

Reason for Tip

Wieffer is expected to operate in the deeper midfield role, tasked with breaking up play. He averages over one foul per match this season and is likely to be involved in defensive duels against United’s creative players between the lines.

Maxim De Cuyper 1+ Fouls

Player 1+ Fouls
2/5

Reason for Tip

Brighton’s left-back will have to deal with pace and direct running down United’s right flank. That usually leads to one or two fouls per game from opposition full-backs, and De Cuyper has a consistent record of committing fouls in advanced areas when isolated.

Match Preview

This fixture has been one-sided in recent years — and not in United’s favour. Brighton have won six of the last seven league meetings, including their last three visits to Old Trafford. Their fluid attacking structure under Fabian Hürzeler has caused repeated problems for United, especially in wide areas.

Amorim’s United have finally found some rhythm. Consecutive wins against Sunderland and Liverpool have lifted confidence, and they’ve now won three straight home matches for the first time since early 2023. Fernandes remains central to everything, and the shift to a 3-4-2-1 shape has improved both control and pressing intensity.

Brighton are unbeaten in five, with wins against Newcastle and Chelsea in that run. Welbeck has hit form with four goals in his last three league appearances, and Brighton’s average of 2.5 goals per game away this season highlights their attacking threat. However, their defensive record remains patchy with just one clean sheet in their last 20 Premier League matches.

Manchester United vs Brighton Team News

For United, Lisandro Martínez is the only absentee as he continues to recover from a cruciate ligament injury. Rúben Amorim is expected to name an unchanged back three of Matthijs de Ligt, Harry Maguire and Luke Shaw. Diogo Dalot and Amad Diallo should start as wing-backs, with Casemiro sitting in midfield alongside Bruno Fernandes. Bryan Mbeumo and Mason Mount are expected to support Matheus Cunha in attack.

Cunha leads the Premier League for shots following a carry (12) this season, while Fernandes and Mbeumo have both contributed consistently in the final third.

Brighton remain without Brajan Gruda, Jack Hinshelwood, Solly March and Adam Webster. Joel Veltman, Kaoru Mitoma and Diego Gómez are doubts. If Mitoma fails to recover, Yankuba Minteh is likely to start on the left with Georginio Rutter playing centrally behind Danny Welbeck. Bart Verbruggen, who has averaged nearly four saves per game, starts in goal.

Manchester United vs Brighton Bet Builder Tips

✅ Man United or Draw – Double Chance

United have found their feet at Old Trafford, winning their last three at home. Brighton love this fixture but United are showing more resilience under Amorim. Backing United to avoid defeat is a solid starting point.

✅ Under 3.5 Total Goals

This fixture tends to be intense rather than open. United have gone under 3.5 in four of their last six home league matches. Brighton are dangerous but Amorim’s side will try to control the tempo.

✅ Over 7.5 Corners

United’s wing-backs and Brighton’s wide rotations create regular crossing opportunities. The last three meetings have all seen at least eight corners, and both teams average strong corner numbers.

✅ Over 3.5 Cards

This game has a history of flashpoints and tactical fouls. Anthony Taylor is in charge — he’s shown 12 cards in his last two Brighton fixtures. Albion have picked up 22 yellows already this season.

✅ Matheus Cunha 1+ Shot on Target

Cunha leads the league for shots following carries and is central to United’s attack. He’s registered at least one shot on target in most of his starts this season.

✅ Diogo Dalot 1+ Foul

Dalot faces a tricky battle down United’s right against Brighton’s pacey wide players. He’s committed at least one foul in four of his last five league games.

✅ Mats Wieffer 1+ Foul

Wieffer will be tasked with breaking up play in midfield. He averages more than a foul per game and will be in direct duels with Fernandes and Mount.

✅ Maxim De Cuyper 1+ Foul

Brighton’s left-back will likely have to deal with pace down United’s right flank. He’s regularly committing fouls in these situations and should be good for at least one.

Manchester United vs Brighton Prediction

Brighton love playing at Old Trafford, but United are showing signs of a real shift under Amorim. Expect an intense tactical contest, chances at both ends, and plenty of set-piece situations. The value may sit with United avoiding defeat and the game staying under four goals.
