Man United vs Brighton form
Since they are not participating in continental competitions this season, Manchester United are quite relaxed. Their last match was a week ago, a trip to Anfield. Despite being considered the underdogs, the Red Devils still managed to come away with a 2-1 victory.
This was Manchester giants' second consecutive win, following their victory over newly promoted Sunderland earlier this month. Thanks to Amorim's first two wins in his managerial career at Old Trafford, Man United have successfully climbed into the top 10, just two points behind the top four.
Riding on a wave of good form, Manchester United will naturally be determined to secure another three points in their home match against Brighton. After a disappointing 0-1 defeat to Arsenal in the opening round, Matheus Cunha and his teammates have enjoyed a run of three consecutive home wins.
However, there are still quite a few concerns for manager Amorim and his team ahead of this weekend's match. Before their impressive home run, Man United had only won 3, drawn 2, and lost 8 of their 13 home games.
The last time the home team enjoyed a more impressive run of form at Old Trafford was over two years ago, between April and August 2023, with a total of eight wins. However, it's worth remembering that Brighton were the team that ended that run of success at the Theatre of Dreams with a 3-1 victory.
Former Red Devil Daniel Welbeck opened the scoring, setting the stage for a painful home defeat for his old club. In the upcoming return to his old stomping ground, Welbeck is likely to be entrusted with the leading role in attack again by manager Fabian Hurzeler, thanks to his impressive goalscoring record recently (scoring braces against Chelsea and Newcastle).
The visiting team is also considered a nemesis for Man United. In the last 8 encounters between the two sides, the Seagulls have won 6, drawn 1 and lost only 2. Notably, in all 3 of their most recent visits to Old Trafford, the visitors have emerged victorious, scoring 8 and conceding only 3 goals.
Currently, Brighton also boasts very stable form. In their last five matches, Hurzeler's team has remained unbeaten, securing three wins and two draws, including a run of three consecutive away games without a defeat.
However, Brighton currently also has weaknesses stemming from their attack-oriented style. In all eight matches played so far, the Brighton & Hove team has yet to keep a clean sheet. If their attack doesn't perform well and find a way to score, the visitors are vulnerable to counter-attacks.
