Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction: Will we see another 11-meter penalty?

In the sixth round of the English championship Manchester United at home arena meets with Brighton. The game will begin on September 16. In the previous EPL season, the Seagulls upset the Devils away, and in the last 12 face-to-face matches six penalties were awarded. Will we see another 11-meter penalty?

Manchester United has had a tough start to the Premier League season. After the home victory over Wolverhampton (1:0) was followed by a weak performance away to Tottenham and defeat (0:2). In the third round of the EPL, the Red Devils barely beat Nottingham Forest 3:2 in their arena. The following weekend, the team failed in the end of the game with Arsenal and lost at the Emirates 1:3. With six points, Manchester United sit in 11th place in the EPL standings.

Roberto De Dzerby's collective has only one misfire in the first four Premier League appearances. At home, they unexpectedly lost to West Ham United with a score of 1:3. Brighton has victories over Luton Town and Wolverhampton with the same outcome, 4:1, and the result of 3:1 was recorded in the game with Newcastle United. Brighton is in sixth place in the EPL standings with nine points in the asset.

Bookmakers believe more in the victory of Manchester United. It is difficult to agree with this position, given the current chaos in the location of the Red Devils and problems with the composition. The fans of the Mancunians do not envy - a weak level of play, the conflict between Anthony and removal from the squad, and - a problematic situation between ten Hag and Sancho and the suspension of the latter from the team. It is not excluded that the upcoming game, besides Varane, will miss the second leading center back, Martinez. Lindelöf will be paired with either Maguire or veteran Evans. The end of the game with Arsenal showed what United has to rely on with this pair of defensive players.

Brighton continues to progress under De Zerbi. In the previous EPL campaign, the Seagulls upset their opponents at Old Trafford. This development is not excluded; at the moment, Brighton is stronger than MU, and it must be recognized. For the upcoming game, we suggest to consider a large number of warnings.
