Manchester United vs Brighton Prediction & Betting Tips | 19/01/2025 | Football

Our prediction for this Premier League match:

Manchester United

Manchester United

Brighton

Brighton

After surviving Southampton in a midweek clash, Manchester United will be aiming to keep on climbing the standings when they face Brighton in yet another home fixture. Amad Diallo’s blitzkrieg gave fans something to cheer about on Thursday evening and, no doubt, the Ivory Coast international will pose a big threat for the opposition back-line. Joshua Zirkzee is pushing for a start following his fine performance in the triumph over Southampton, while all Mason Mount, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, and Jonny Evans remain in the recovery room.

The Seagulls, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Ipswich Town. As Manchester United struggled to break the Saints’ defence on Matchday 22, we predict that Brighton are going to grab something from Sunday’s clash. Both Mats Wieffer and Evan Ferguson are major doubts and the duo will be assessed ahead of the kick-off.

Highlighted Team (Manchester United):

Manchester United

Over the years Manchester United have established themselves as one of the greatest clubs in world football. The Red Devils have won three European Cup (Champions League) trophies and they have clinched no less than 20 Premier League titles.

A number of top-class players were part of Manchester United in the past, but, no doubt, the club’s biggest legend is coach Sir Alex Ferguson, who was in charge of the team for 26 years. During Alex Ferguson’s spell at Old Trafford the club won a number of trophies, but the Red Devils have been struggling in all competitions ever since he retired. Louis van Gaal helped Manchester United win the FA Cup trophy in the 2015/2016 season, with Jese Lingard scoring the winner in the 2-1 triumph over Crystal Palace at Wembley Stadium.

The likes of Bobby Charlton, Paul Scholes, Roy Keane, Ruud van Nistelrooy, Wayne Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo, George Best and Eric Cantona are the football stars that graced Old Trafford for Manchester United.
