Betting on Brighton & Hove Albion FC
Earning European spots in the highly competitive English league requires not only talent, but also endurance. So, Brighton must learn to deal with this if it wants to compete in any continental tournament next season.
The Seagulls soared over the weekend with an impressive win against Wolves, but it still has a tough road ahead. In fact, Brighton will face both Manchester teams, Newcastle, Arsenal, and one of its direct rivals, Aston Villa, in the remaining seven games of the season.
In total, Roberto de Zerbi’s men have only played 31 games this year, the lowest of any team. This is good news for a team that holds eighth place with 52 points, just two behind Villa and Tottenham.
However, it also means a heavy workload for a team that has won three, drawn one, and lost two of the last six games. This makes Brighton the fifth-highest scoring team in the league with 61 goals.
On the bright side, Brighton has found success at home, going unbeaten in the last four games. This is crucial since four of the last seven games will be at home, where it has only conceded 14 goals in 15 games.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Jason Steele; Joel Veltman, Lewis Dunk, Adam Webster, Pervis Estupiñan; Pascal Gross, Moisés Caicedo; Solly March, Alexis Mac Allister, Deniz Undav; Danny Welbeck.
Betting on Manchester United
Finally, Manchester United seems to have secured a spot in the upcoming Champions League season after its victory against Aston Villa, which reaffirmed its good form in the Premier League.
Under the guidance of Erik ten Hag, the team arrives at this game with five consecutive matches without a loss in the English championship, including four wins. This performance has put Manchester United in fourth place in the standings with 63 points, seven more than Liverpool and with one game less played than the Reds.
Undoubtedly, this is great news for the Manchester men, who had to play the Europa League this season after finishing sixth in the previous domestic tournament, and were eliminated a couple of weeks ago in the quarterfinals of the continental competition by Sevilla.
Likewise, Manchester United has one of the easiest schedules in this final stretch, as three of its six matches will be at home, while four of those games are against teams located at the bottom of the standings.
The team also positions itself as the fifth-best defense in the championship, conceding only two goals in the last five games, with four of them being clean sheets. However, it has not had the same luck on enemy grounds, suffering six of the seven defeats it has had this year and conceding 31 of the 49 goals against.
Possible Lineup (4-1-4-1): David De Gea; Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw, Victor Lindelof, Diogo Dalot; Casemiro; Christian Eriksen, Bruno Fernandes; Jadon Sancho, Antony; Marcus Rashford.
JefeBet Prediction
Brighton is on the verge of making history by securing its first-ever spot in European competitions. Actually, it has another great opportunity to get closer to that goal this Thursday at home, and the team knows it.
However, facing Manchester United won’t be an easy task, but the Seagulls have played well against the Red Devils this year. Manchester United might also come a bit tired after playing several games in the past weeks and suffering injuries.
Therefore, Brighton needs to take advantage of playing at home before traveling to London to face Arsenal and Aston Villa in the last weeks of the season. On the other hand, Manchester United is almost guaranteed a spot in the Champions League, which could mean the team lowering its guard a bit on the road this weekend.
If you’re feeling lucky with your bets, this Brighton vs Manchester United is the perfect match to take a risk. DraftKings‘ Moneyline for Brighton is (+100), which means you could win 100 dollars for every 100 you bet.
Prediction: Brighton Moneyline (BRI 2 – MAN 1).
