Manchester United will look to kick-start their new campaign with a win; they’ll fancy their chances against Brighton and Hove Albion.

Brighton and Hove Albion looked good in their pre-season friendlies; they won three of five friendly matches, with a draw and a loss.

Brighton will start their new season with a visit to Old Trafford; it’ll be interesting to see how they’ll fare against Erik Ten Hag’s Manchester United side.

Bet Builder Tip 1: Manchester United to win @ 4/6

To be fair, Brighton and Hove Albion have enjoyed relatively better form than Manchester United recently; they’ve won three of their last four games, with just one loss in their last 10 games in all competitions.

On the other hand, Manchester United are without a win in their last four games.

However, it’s worth noting that Brighton tend to fall short when they go up against the Red Devils; as they suffered seven losses in the last eight encounters between these sides.

Also, Brighton have visited Old Trafford six times since 2017, and they’ve lost all six games; on that note, we believe that Manchester United will win this match.

Bet Builder Tip 2: BTTS yes @ 5/6

Despite Manchester United’s recent struggles, they have been consistent when it comes to scoring goals; the Red Devils found the net 14 times in their last six games alone.

On the other hand, Manchester United are looking a little brittle at the back.

They have seen their defense breached in all of their last five matches.

In like manner, Brighton and Hove Albion have scored and conceded a lot of goals recently; they bagged 11 clean sheets in their last four games, whilst keeping no clean sheets in that stretch.

Both teams scored in four of Manchester United’s last five, and in five of Brighton’s last seven games; that’s why we believe that both teams will be on the score sheet.

Bet Builder Tip 3: Over 2.5 total goals @ 5/6

Manchester United and Brighton tend to bring the goals when they go up against each other; as a matter of fact, eight of the last nine clashes between these teams produced over 2.5 goals.

Also, both teams’ recent games have mostly been on the high-scoring side; as four of Manchester United’s last six, and three of Brighton’s last four games saw at least three goals scored.

All things considered, we should expect some goals in this match.
