Manchester Utd vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
The match between Manchester United and Southampton is scheduled for Tuesday evening at Old Trafford. Manchester United dropped points twice last week. Ole Gunnar Solskjær and his men can therefore not afford to lose a point against Southampton if they want to continue to compete for the league title.
Manchester United:
Manchester United are second in the Premier League. The question is whether Manchester United will rise one more place this season. The chance seems more realistic that The Red Devils will be passed by Liverpool in the coming weeks. In the Premier League it now looks like this: Manchester City are first with 44 points from 20 games. Manchester United, Liverpool and Leicester City follow with 41, 40 and 39 points respectively. Those three teams have also played one more game than Manchester City. At Manchester United they can therefore not afford to lose a point if Southampton is a guest on Tuesday evening.
Over the past week, Manchester United has significantly reduced the title chances. Last Wednesday, the team of Ole Gunnar Solskjær lost 1-2 in-house against the bottom of the league Sheffield United. In the weekend, Manchester United again ran into a loss of points. On Saturday evening, Manchester United came no further than a goalless draw at Arsenal. Given the proportions on the field, Manchester United might have earned a little more. Of course, criticism of Manchester United is increasing again now that two games in a row have not been won. Bruno Fernandes in particular had to cancel after the duel with Arsenal. According to experts, the Portuguese would still be too invisible during the top matches.
Southampton:
The Southampton players logically have nothing to lose if they have to visit Manchester United on Tuesday evening. Every point would be a bonus point for Ralph Hasenhüttl and his men. Southampton is in eleventh place in the Premier League and The Saints are not dissatisfied with that. At the beginning of this season, Southampton got off the starting blocks, but recently the results have been somewhat disappointing. For example, Southampton lost the last three league games it played.
After Leicester City (2-0) and Arsenal (1-3), Aston Villa was 0-1 too strong for Southampton on Saturday evening. Southampton also managed to win only one of the last six league matches. That happened nearly a month ago when Liverpool was beaten 1-0 at St. Mary’s Stadium. At Southampton they are only too happy to book a result against a title contender on Tuesday evening, but whether Southampton can make it difficult for Manchester United is doubtful. Especially because of the current form of The Saints. On top of that, Hasenhüttl still has to miss a lot of players due to injuries.
