Back to the beginning we go after Sunderland gave Oxford Utd a good thumping yesterday.
Man Utd v Brighton could prove to be an interesting game as far as goals are concerned.
Manchester Utd, after Leicester City lost yesterday, have the chance to now go 4 points clear in 2nd place. Brighton are 16th on 32 points and just a point today will help their cause.
Manchester Utd have only “won to nil” 29% of their home games this season and Brighton have “lost to nil” in just 21% of their away games suggesting a BTTS result a distinct possibility. As far as form goes, of the last 8 games Brighton have played they have gained 11 points scoring at least 1 goal in all but 2 of them.
Manchester’s Home scoring rate is 79% just 8% above Brightons away scoring rate of 71%.
In summary Brighton have failed to score just 4 times when playing away and Manchester Utd only 3 times while at home. Defensively I am not entirely satisfied that Manchester Utd will be able to hold off a Brighton attack should they mount one but Manchester’s scoring ability speaks for itself.
