The upcoming match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Manchester United on August 24, 2024, promises to be a closely contested affair. Both teams come into this game with strong starts to the Premier League season. Brighton delivered a dominant 3-0 win over Everton, showcasing their attacking strength, while Manchester United secured a narrow 1-0 victory against Fulham, with Joshua Zirkzee scoring on his debut.
Brighton will have the home advantage at the AMEX Stadium and are known for their ability to challenge top teams, especially at home. However, they might face some difficulties if key players like Pervis Estupiñán and Tariq Lamptey are unavailable due to injury concerns. On the other side, Manchester United will be looking to build momentum, with Zirkzee expected to start after his impactful performance last week.
While Brighton has won four of their last five league meetings with United, the Red Devils managed to win the corresponding fixture last season. Predictions for this game are mixed; some analysts expect a low-scoring draw, potentially 1-1, while others lean toward a narrow win for Manchester United, possibly 2-1 (Transfer News) (Vegas Odds) (World Soccer Talk) (FootyPredictions).
