“Bookmaker Ratings” made a prediction for the match of the 18th round of the Premier League, Manchester United vs Brighton.
Three games in a row, United opens the scoring. Wins the first half and misses the advantage three times and is content with a draw. At the same time, the Mancunians stand out the level of performance compared to Middlesbrough, Burnley, or even Southampton. But gaming and psychological problems every time make themselves felt. And, most importantly, in the team’s game there is no consistency. Moreover, Manchester United seems to be inferior to all of the above opponents.
Brighton is just the standard of consistency. Graham Potter has a well-built team that clearly knows what, when and how to act. Only one defeat for the southerners in the last 11 rounds. For the whole season, they lost only four times. Only City, Liverpool and Chelsea did it less often.
Of course, one cannot rule out the refereeing factor, but if everything is more or less decent, we believe that Brighton will take a worthy result from Old Trafford. And even if the guests missed, it is unlikely that will be more than one goal.
