“Manchester United”
“Manchester United” with Ralph Rangnick last season did not shine. In the Premier League, the team finished in sixth position and flew past the Champions League, content only with the Europa League.
In the most important European Cup of last season, the Mancunians were able to leave the group, but already in the first stage of the playoffs they lost to Atlético Madrid – 1:1 away and 0:1 at home.
After the end of the season, the Red Devils changed their coach. From the Amsterdam “Ajax” came to save the day Eric ten Hag. He cleared the squad a bit, and the Mancunians signed Eriksen for free, and bought Lisandro Martinez and Malasia.
In preparation for the new season, Manchester United first won three games in a row, including against Liverpool 4-0, after which they drew twice and suffered a fiasco from Atlético with a score of 0:1.
“Brighton”
“Brighton” finished ninth in the Premier League last season. It should be noted that the team was one of the most peaceful in the championship, giving out 15 world matches in 38 matches.
The Seagulls have a serious personnel loss: one of the leading players in the team, Malian Yva Bissuma, has moved to Tottenham. Also close to leaving the team is defender Mark Cucurella, who is claimed by Manchester City and Chelsea.
In pre-season matches, the Graham Potter team showed good results, gaining three victories, drawing with the Belgian Union 0:0 and losing to Brentford 0:1.
Last season Manchester United and Brighton exchanged home wins – 2:0 and 0:4. In total, over the last eight face-to-face meetings, the Mancunians were seven times stronger.
Forecast and rate
In this duel bookmakers hosts are preferred. To win Manchester United offer – 1.60.
On Victoria “Brighton” give – 5.25a draw is scored – in 4.20.
We predictthat in the first official match under the leadership of ten Hag, besides at home, the Mancunians will be able to play at a good level and achieve a positive result, but it is unlikely that the match will be very productive. So that put for such an outcome – P1 + TM 4.5.
