Brighton - Manchester United is going to be the last game of this game week and actually it is a missing game for both sides as well. Manchester United are four points ahead of Liverpool now and they have 2 missing games to play too. They should be able to turn this into their advantage. However Brighton aren't an easy team to beat for them. Brighton beat them in Old Trafford before.
However it was a long time ago and Manchester United are far stronger than that now. The only problem which is a serious one as well is that their defense isn't very strong now. Because Varane and Martinez are still injured. If the Red Devils still manage to balance the game with their offense side then they can have their revenge and open the gap with Liverpool more as well.
This match looks like it will offer a competitive fight from the two teams, especially if we refer to the last meeting in the FA CUP, the match ended in a penalty shootout. in this match, Brighton will not let The Red Devils get points easily. the reason is, De Zebri's squad troops will provide fierce resistance to gain full points at their own cage. plus, De Zerbi is targeting his team to rank up by having two other postponed matches. that means, this fight is important for them to win. if this scenario goes well, Brighton will shift the ranking occupied by Tottenham.
On the other hand, Manchester Utd still will not be strengthened by their two mainstay defenders. yes, the absence of Lisandro Martinez and Raphael Varane made United's defense a bit problematic. I'm sure Ten Hag is aware of this, like it or not Ten Hag has to think of ways to anticipate the poor performance of his team's defense line. well, when referring to the predicted starting line-up of these two teams. it seems, both teams will use the same pattern with the 4-2-3-1 system. but it could also be, Ten Hag will apply a different system to anticipate this fight.
By the way, the bookie prefers Brighton. Naturally, they played as the home team. plus, United did not play with its core squad. My guess is that both teams will score goals and it is even possible that the match will end in a draw. however, betting on Unted seems quite interesting with pretty ideal odds to me. so, there's nothing wrong with taking risks even though United are fragile in their defense.
