Brighton v Manchester United Betting Tips: Can Utd keep their momentum?

Match odds

Man Utd are favourites for the tie at 4/7 to win, with Brighton & Hove Albion at 11/2 and the draw at 11/4.

When they last met in October, United ran out 3-1 winners, in a largely one-sided game, where Andreas Pereira, Scott McTominay and Marcus Rashford scored, with Brighton’s reply coming from Lewis Dunk. You can back the same 3-1 scoreline tonight at 14/1.

Brighton are much stronger in defence than they are in attack, with 41 goals conceded so far this season – the same as fourth-placed Chelsea, which could mean we’re in for a low scoring game. You can back a Man United win with under 2.5 goals scored at 9/4.

Anthony Martial netted a hat-trick in Man United’s last league game, and can be backed at 13/10 to score anytime, or 13/2 to score two or more goals.

Neal Maupay is Brighton’s top scorer and scored a memorable winner against Arsenal ten days ago before failing to convert a penalty against Leicester. He can be backed at 3/1 to score anytime, or 15/2 to score last once again.

It required extra-time for Man Utd to beat bottom side Norwich in the FA Cup on Saturday, and while many first-team players were initially rested for the match, the likes of Paul Pogba and Rashford ended up spending more time on the pitch than Ole Gunnar Solskjaer may have liked.

Bruno Fernandes also ended up playing the entire game along with Luke Shaw, which may mean the manager shuffles the pack against Brighton, with Pogba expected to start alongside Nemanja Matic in the middle of the park, with Martial and Rashford also likely to return to the starting line-up.
