Southampton Manchester United betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This is a match between two teams that present very different match models. While Manchester United perform in a more leisurely and organized way, Southampton has a very direct playing style, looking for a lot of times against the counterattack. Thus, we don’t look at another market that is not the "Over 2.5 Goals" on the final scoreboard.

In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Manchester City, by (3‑1). In the last match, they tied in a home match against Crystal Palace, by (0‑0).

Frenchman Anthony Martial is the best scorer in this team with 6 goals scored in the league. For this match, the coach won’t count on Lindelof, Dalot and Marcos Rojo, all with physical problems.
