Brighton v Manchester United Prediction, Tips and Bet Builder

Brighton v Manchester United Prediction

Best Bet: Brighton to win @ 10/11

Brighton's defeat to Leeds last time out leaves them vulnerable to three teams chasing them for the final UEFA Europa League position, but they can take advantage of a lack of motivation in the United camp to get the win on Sunday.

The Seagulls have the highest win rate against United of any side in Premier League history, winning eight of their 17 top-flight clashes and five of their eight meetings at the Amex Stadium.

Thirty-three of their 53 points this season have been won at home and, while their defeat at Elland Road will have damaged morale, they can still draw confidence from a fantastic recent home record.

They have won four of their last five in front of their own fans, while Manchester United have dropped points in three of their last four away fixtures.

Alternative Bet: Danny Welbeck to score or assist @ 5/6

Danny Welbeck began his career at Old Trafford and the veteran striker could return to haunt his former club once again on Sunday.

Welbeck has 14 goals and two assists to his name this term, with six of those goal contributions coming in his last 11 appearances, and he has a strong recent record against the Red Devils.

He scored in Albion's 4-2 defeat in the reverse fixture to make it three goals and one assist in his last seven meetings with United, so back him to make a difference.

Brighton v Manchester United Bet Builder Tip

• Bruno Fernandes to assist

• Danny Welbeck 2+ shots

• Diego Gomez 2+ fouls committed

• Luke Shaw 1+ fouls committed
  

  Pays 7/1

Bruno Fernandes equalled the Premier League record for assists in a single season last weekend and he could take the record all for himself on the final day of the season.

The Portuguese maestro has registered 10 assists in his last 12 appearances for club and country and he assisted United's only goal in their FA Cup defeat to Brighton in January.

At the other end, Welbeck has a Brighton-high 59 shots to his name this season and has had at least two attempts in each of his last eight starts, while he has had six shots in two meetings with the Red Devils this season.

Team-mate Diego Gomez leads the way for fouls committed for the Seagulls and has been reprimanded twice or more in eight successive starts, totalling 22 fouls in this period.

Luke Shaw committed four fouls against Nottingham Forest last weekend and has committed at least one in 26 of his last 28 games.
