Command Analysis

EnglandCurrent form
Manchester United have entered a three-match unbeaten streak in all competitions, which can be considered a decent success, as the team had previously been on a four-match losing streak. First, the Red Devils took points away from Liverpool (2:2). Then there was a tough cup match with Arsenal, where they managed to advance to the 1/16 finals on penalties. Ruben Amorim men played their last match in the previous round of the Premier League on their home field against outsider Southampton. Until the 82nd minute, the Saints were leading 1:0, but Diallo scored a hat-trick in the end and brought his team a 3:1 victory. With 26 points, the Mancunians are approaching the upcoming game in 13th place in the table.

Brighton & Hove Albion
EnglandCurrent form
Brighton won a very calm and confident 2-0 away victory over Ipswich in the last round. The Seagulls thus broke a protracted series of four draws in the Premier League. Before that, let us recall, there was a crushing 4-0 victory over Norwich in the 1/32 of the FA Cup. It seems that Fabian Hürzeler charges have believed in themselves and are ready to continue fighting for a place in the European Cup zone, which they are now six points behind, but have a game in hand. It should be noted that throughout the season Brighton has been playing successfully in away matches and at the moment has not lost in four matches in a row on the road - three draws and a win.

6.20Tip and bets
Manchester United have shown some progress in their results – three matches without defeat. However, it cannot be said that the Red Devils looked very convincing in their play; they broke the resistance of the same Southampton with great difficulty, only at the very end. Brighton is a much more organized and balanced team, they do not allow themselves to have obvious swings in their play. The Seagulls have not lost in five away matches in a row, taking into account all tournaments. In our opinion, the bookmakers are somewhat overestimating the current capabilities of the Red Devils.
Our prediction is Brighton will not lose at odds of 1.75
