Competition: Premier League

Market: Under 2.5 goals

Odds: 1/1 @ 888sport

In a Premier League meeting that could see chances come at a real premium in midweek, Manchester United will host Brighton on Tuesday night.

Starting with the hosts, last seen over the weekend putting in another flat display, Manchester United find themselves in the midst of another struggle. In their 24 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, seven draws and six defeats, scoring 38 and conceding 32 and conceding 32 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 40, the Reds open the midweek fixtures sat fifth in the table and just one point adrift of finding a route into the Champions League spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen over the weekend having to settle for a 1-1 draw at home against Southampton, Manchester United have failed to win any of their last three matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be highlighted, Tuesday’s hosts have seen their last four outings finish with under 2.5 goals.

As for the visitors, managing to make a much-needed return to winning ways over the weekend, Brighton will be desperate to cause an upset on the road here. In their 23 Premier League matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, 12 draws and four defeats, scoring 25 and conceding 23 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 33, the Seagulls open the midweek fixtures sat ninth in the standings and five points adrift of finding a route into the European spots. As for their recent run of results, last seen over the weekend landing a 2-0 win away at relegation scrappers Watford, Brighton have lost just one of their last nine contests across all formats. It should also be noted, with Tuesday’s guests seeing five of their last six matchups finish in normal time with under 2.5 goals, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
