MU vs Brighton Prediction: Red Devils take advantage of victory

Leaving behind a disappointing series of early season results, the Red Devils' spirit is higher than ever, when for the first time under Ruben Amorim, they won two consecutive Premier League matches - against Sunderland and Liverpool.

Defeating the defending champions at Anfield was a memorable moment for Ruben Amorim, who has been under a lot of pressure lately.

The result also helped MU climb to 9th place, just 3 points behind second-placed Man City, equivalent to a win.

Today, Mbeumo and his teammates will return to Old Trafford, where they also enjoyed the joy of the last three matches against Sunderland, Chelsea and Burnley.

However, Brighton is an extremely 'nemesis' opponent of MU. Statistics show this clearly, when the Red Devils lost 6/7 of the most recent encounters.

To break the curse, Amorim needs an explosion from the attack. The trio Mbeumo - Cunha - Mount played well in the match against Liverpool so they will likely continue to be used.

The Portuguese coach can continue to choose long ball tactics, because Brighton is a team that is very good at applying high pressure.

Goalkeeper Lammens will be in charge of the "helicopter" kicks. Casemiro and his teammates will focus on winning the second ball, arranging quick and direct attacks.

As for Brighton, Danny Welbeck is the most notable name at the moment. The former Red Devils striker tore Chelsea's net, then scored a double to help his team defeat Newcastle in the previous round.

The Seagulls' big problem lies in defense, as they have kept only one clean sheet in their last 20 Premier League matches.

As guests today, Hurzeler and his team are confident because they have won all 3 recent trips to Old Trafford. However, a strong MU is determined to take all 3 points.
