Southampton vs Manchester Utd Prediction & Betting tips
Well-performing Southampton will be visited by Manchester United in their own St. Mary’s Stadium on Sunday afternoon. The visitors won their last three matches, but know that it will not be easy in the port city.
Southampton:
Southampton is neatly in the (sub) top of the Premier League. That is a completely different picture than a year ago, because at the time The Saints fought against relegation. At the moment, the world looks completely different for Ralph Hasenhüttl and his men. At Southampton, the counter is already at seventeen points after nine games. That’s quite a number. Especially when you consider that Southampton does not have a completely different team than last season. Everything just seems to fall into place with Hasenhüttl’s team.
Southampton remained unbeaten in the last seven games. In those duels, The Saints took on Chelsea (3-3 draw), Everton (2-0 win) and Wolverhampton Wanderers (1-1 draw). Teams that have better material on paper than Southampton. The game with the Wolves was played on Monday evening. Theo Walcott scored the opening goal on behalf of Southampton at the Molineux after just under an hour of football, but The Saints were unable to pull that lead over the line. However, a 1-1 draw at Wolverhampton is not a bad result for a club like Southampton. In the duel with Manchester United, Southampton still has to do without Danny Ings. The 28-year-old attacker is only expected to return to Southampton around the holidays.
Manchester United:
The pressure on Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær is slowly diminishing. The Norwegian booked a result for the international break with Manchester United visiting Everton (1-3) and therefore got some extra time from the American Manchester United owners. For the time being that is working out well. Solskjær also managed to beat West Bromwich Albion (1-0) and Istanbul Başakşehir (4-1) with Manchester United last week. It must now be said that Manchester United is not against it.
In recent months, The Red Devils have already received the necessary penalty kicks. That was also the case in the game with West Bromwich Albion and Istanbul Başakşehir. With Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United has a player who knows what to do with pinging. In any case, Manchester United cannot complain about the decisions of the referees this season. By the way, Manchester United has been doing well in recent months in away games in the Premier League, because the last seven were won. In addition, the English record champion remained unbeaten in the last twelve away games at St. Mary’s Stadium.
