LiontipsSouthampton vs Manchester United. Prediction (odds 2.27) and bets on the Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
After two rounds in the Premier League, only two teams remain without points - Southampton and Everton. The Saints are ahead of the Toffees only due to a better goal difference, although they themselves were able to score only once with five goals conceded. The team's obvious problems are in attack - Russell Martin's charges play too straightforwardly, and there is not enough speed in developing attacks.
https://www.southamptonfc.com/en" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Southampton started with a 0:1 away defeat to Newcastle, where they played with more than a half of the team in the majority. Then they lost with the same score at home to the not-so-formidable Nottingham Forest. In the third round there was a significant lapse in defense and an away defeat 1:3 to Brentford. The Saints scored their first and so far only goal in the Premier League only in added time.
The only bright spot at the start of the season was a 5-3 away win in the League Cup against Cardiff. And even there, two goals were scored at the very end.
Disqualifications and injuries
Smallbone will not play today due to injury.
Interesting trends for betting
- Southampton have failed to score in four of their last five home Premier League games
- The Saints have had at least four corners in all three league games since the start of the season
- Southampton have gone eight straight Premier League home games without a win
Probable line-up : Aaron Ramsdale v Jack Stephens, Taylor Harwood-Bellis, Jan Bednarek v Kyle Walker-Peters, Flynn Downes, Joe Aribo, Adam Lallana, Yukinari Sugawara v Ben Brereton, Adam Armstrong.
Current form
Once again, Manchester United did not have the brightest start to the season. Three points after three rounds and an interim 14th place is far from the result that fans expected. On the other hand, the Red Devils lost to Liverpool (0:3) and a strong Brighton (1:2). They earned their points in a match with Fulham (1:0).
Judging by the squad, it cannot be said that the Mancunians have become weaker. Mazruai, Ugarte, De Ligt, Zirkzee have arrived. The same Zirkzee was a good substitute for Hojlund, a more versatile player in himself, although not as prolific, but he was the author of the winning goal in the match against Fulham. It seems that they are still lacking cohesion, the upcoming match against Southampton is a great opportunity to fully demonstrate their potential.
It is worth noting that Erik ten Haag has strengthened the support zone with the signing of Ugarte . Perhaps we will see the young Uruguayan on the field in the upcoming game.
Disqualifications and injuries
Defenders Leni Joro and Tyrell Malasia, as well as forward Rasmus Hojlund and midfielder Mason Mount, will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester United have lost just one shot on target in their last five matches
- The Red Devils have not lost due to fouls in four of their previous five matches
- Manchester United have not won in the first half in any of the three matches they have played
Probable line-up : Andre Onana - Matthijs de Ligt, Diogo Dalot, Lisandro Martinez, Noussair Mazraoui - Casemiro, Kobby Mainou - Marcus Rashford, Alejandro Garnacho, Bruno Fernandes - Joshua Zirkzee.

1.59Tip and bets
Both teams did not have the best start of the rounds, and Southampton looked unconvincing even against the Red Devils, especially in attack, where they could not create anything at the opponents' goal. Manchester United has a more solid selection of players in almost every position, they still lack the cohesion to compete on equal terms with the best representatives of the Premier League, but they beat Fulham. We believe that the guests will earn three points today.
Our prediction is Manchester United to win with an Asian handicap of (-1) at odds of 2.27
Bet on total
When choosing bets on the match, it is impossible to ignore the frankly weak attack of Southampton. The Saints have managed to score only one goal in three rounds, and that was in stoppage time in the match with Brentford, when it was all decided. We will not be very surprised if the hosts do not open the defense of Manchester United even once today.
The second bet is Southampton's individual total goals under one with odds of 1.88
Bet on corners
We expect in the betting tip that the guests will have more possession of the ball today, and will threaten the opponents' goal more often. In this scenario, Manchester United is likely to win on corners.
Prediction: Manchester United win on corners with odds of 1.83
