Manchester Utd host Brighton at Old Trafford (Manchester) in the 30th round of the Premier League and the match kicks off at 7.30 pm (UK) on Sunday , April 4. Read our reasons for Manchester Utd vs Brighton prediction and betting tips.
Manchester Utd went into the International break on the back of a bitter defeat to Leicester in the FA Cup, ending their 2-month unbeaten run (W7, D7). But with one competition less to play in amid the exhausting end-of-season schedule, the Red Devils aim to keep up their good form in the Premier League and stay ahead of Leicester in the top-two battle. On the other hand, Brighton come into this match on the back of two massively important wins - a 2-1 win at St. Mary’s against Southampton and a 3-0 crushing of Newcastle - meaning they are now huge six points above 18th-placed Fulham wit a game in hand.
The last time Manchester Utd faced off against Brighton ended up being one of the most bonkers game of the Premier League season. A Bruno Fernandes penalty after the final whistle had rung separated the two, giving the Red Devils their first win of the season. A lot has changed since then as United have climbed up to second place – while Brighton are still fighting to survive a relegation threat. But that doesn’t make this game any easier for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side.
At home this season, the Red Devils have already dropped points against the likes of Crystal Palace and Sheffield Utd. If those two can get away point from Old Trafford. But, somewhat fortunately for them, Brighton doesn’t have the negative mindset as some of the other bottom dwellers. On the other hand, that could backfire, making this a much more open-ended game, something to favor the Red Devils – who also have key players returning to fitness.
As for Brighton, the manner of their comprehensive win against a club directly below them in the table should convince Potter’s side that they are more than capable of securing a fifth consecutive season in the top flight. Battling for survival has become familiar territory for the Seagulls, and there was little sign of pressure in their play as they took command of a vital game. Only inability to capitalise in front of goal and convert impressive performances into points has kept Brighton from mid-table security.
However, two expert finishes from Trossard and Welbeck either side of the interval left the visitors dejected, before Maupay added the gloss from close range to secure a second 3-0 win over Newcastle this season. Having impressed against Saints with arguably his best performance since joining on a free transfer last summer, Adam Lallana also shone in a central midfield role with incisive passing through the Newcastle lines. Brighton's fate is now firmly in their own hands, but tough games against Man United, Everton and Chelsea await after the international break.

Manchester Utd meet Brighton having previously won each of their last five meetings with the Seagulls in all competitions, netting exactly three goals in each of the last four. Moreover, Brighton have never won away against Manchester Utd in 12 previous visits (D2, L10), losing each of their last six games at Old Trafford against the Red Devils.
Man United are looking to keep five consecutive PL clean sheets for the first time since August 2017 under José Mourinho, while Brighton are looking to win three consecutive PL games for the first time since October 2018. The Red Devils are default favourites here, but Brighton is more than capable to produce an upset.

Tucker grew up in London, more precisely in West London. But, unlike many locals, he doesn’t like big and famous teams from that part of the city. Instead, ever since he was a kid, Tucker was passionate for lower divisions. This passion was born when his uncle from Reading took him to the local derby with Aldershot Town when he was 6 and since that moment football was running through his veins. He became a huge fan of the Royals for life, and whenever he could, he goes to Madejski Stadium to enjoy the game. Apart from being a job, his sports knowledge also becomes more than useful when he is betting live on high stakes which is also his passion.
