Match Preview:
Man United have been down in the dumps for prolonged periods this term, but they are currently in buoyant mood after winning back-to-back Premier League games for the first time under head coach Ruben Amorim - 11 months on from his appointment - and for the first time since winning their final two matches of the 2023-24 season and their opening fixture of the 2024-25 campaign.

The Red Devils followed up their deserved 2-0 home victory over Sunderland with a surprise 2-1 triumph away against a floundering Liverpool outfit last weekend, with goals from Bryan Mbeumo and Harry Maguire securing the club’s first win at Anfield since the days of Louis van Gaal in 2016.

Victory against the reigning champions was a big moment for Amorim, who has been afforded three years to prove himself at Old Trafford by minority shareholder Sir Jim Ratcliffe and has seen his Man United side climb to ninth in the Premier League table, just three points behind rivals Man City in second.

Since losing 2-1 at Bournemouth in mid-September, Brighton have alternated between drawing and winning across their last four Premier League matches, with 3-1 and 2-1 victories against Chelsea and Newcastle respectively taking place during this run.

Danny Welbeck - formerly of Man United - took centre stage against the Magpies as he scored twice, including an 84th-minute winner, to secure all three points for the Seagulls, who currently sit 10th in the top-flight standings and just one point behind the Red Devils in ninth spot.

Despite winning three of their eight Premier League matches this season, as well as boasting leads in two of their three draws (L2), Fabian Hurzeler’s side have spent a lower share of their game time winning (24.1%) than any other match state this term (38.1% losing, 37.8% drawing).

Match Prediction:
Goals are to be expected at Old Trafford this weekend. While both teams have scored in seven of Brighton’s opening eight Premier League games this season, the net has rippled at both ends in five of Man United’s eight matches thus far.

The Seagulls have a strong record on the red side of Manchester and recent wins over Newcastle and Chelsea should give them confidence heading into this one, but Amorim’s men are riding a wave of momentum and we feel that they will edge an entertaining, end-to-end contest.
