Southampton – MU Prediction: Will the “Red Devils” end their bad luck?

After struggling to beat Fulham in the opening match of the 2024/2025 Premier League, MU disappointed when losing the next two matches against Brighton and Liverpool. This made the spirit of MU players somewhat disappointed, the problems were continuously pointed out.

The FIFA Days break is an opportunity for coach Erik Ten Hag to lift the spirits of his players and at the same time come up with solutions to MU's remaining problems. One of the problems that coach Ten Hag has to face is that a number of MU players will have to sit out the upcoming match due to injury.

Experts say Southampton – MU will be an opportunity for the "red devils" to seek victory.

Rasmus Hojlund, Luke Shaw, Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Victor Lindelof and Mason Mount are all out with varying degrees of injury. The biggest positive is that in this round, MU only have to face a team that is also in great difficulty, Southampton.

Compared to MU, Southampton's situation is much worse. Coach Russell Martin and his team have lost all three matches since the beginning of the season, and the British media said that the 38-year-old strategist's position will be difficult to keep if Southampton's performance does not improve by the end of September.

That puts even more pressure on coach Russell Martin ahead of the match against MU. Southampton will be without Gavin Bazunu due to a long-term injury, Kamaldeen Sulemana will also be absent from the upcoming match due to an ankle problem.

In terms of recent form, MU is not much better than Southampton so anything can happen. Moreover, with “nothing to lose”, Southampton will certainly be very determined when facing MU in the upcoming match.

The biggest reason for MU fans to be optimistic is the good performance of the “Red Devils” in away matches against Southampton. MU has been unbeaten in the last 12 away matches against Southampton in the Premier League.

Expected lineup:

Southampton: Ramsdale; Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens; Sugawara, Fernandes, Downes, Smallbone, Walker-Peters; Brereton Diaz, Archer

MU: Onana; Mazraoui, De Ligt, Martinez, Dalot; Ugarte, Mainoo; Garnacho, Fernandes, Rashford; Zirkzee
