Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Following a 3-1 loss to Arsenal before the international break, Manchester United will look to return to winning ways when they host Brighton to their Old Trafford. The good news for the hosts is that Marcus Rashford opened his goalscoring account in the Emirates Stadium defeat and, no doubt, the 25-year-old forward will prove a handful for the opposition back-line on Saturday afternoon. Keep in mind, though, that all Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw, and Tyrell Malacia are out of contention with injuries. Summer signing Rasmus Hojlund is pushing for his first start of the season after overcoming his injury.
The Seagulls, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Newcastle United where teenage forward Evan Ferguson scored a hat-trick. Given Brighton’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the world can find value in betting on both teams to score. Aforementioned striker Ferguson has joined the likes of Julio Enciso, Jakub Moder, and Danny Welbeck in the treatment room.
Highlighted Player (Bruno Fernandes):
Bruno Fernandes is a Portuguese footballer who used to play for Novara before joining Udinese in a co-ownership deal in the summer of 2013. The Portuguese midfielder scored his first goal for the club in a 3-3 draw with Napoli on 7 December, 2013.
Three years later he signed a deal with Sampdoria for a fee of €7 million. Fernandes moved to Sampdoria in order to replace Roberto who reinforced Villarreal. Soriano He played 33 games for the Zebrette in the 2015/2016 Serie A campaign, scoring three goals for the club, while providing four assists for his teammates.
Fernandes is a central midfielder, but he is capable of playing as a secondary striker as well. He was born in Maia, Portugal on 8 September, 1994 and he began his youth career at Infesta. Fernandes has seven caps for Portugal U21 team and he has played 4 matches for the U23 team.
Highlighted Team (Brighton):
Brighton & Hove Albion Football Club were formed in 1901. The Seagulls welcome their opponents at Falmer Stadium and the capacity of Brighton’s home ground is 30,750. The stadium was built in 2008 and it was opened in 2011. The venue is known for commercial purposes as American Express Community Stadium.
Brighton & Hove Albion compete in the Premier League and they play in blue and white stripes. The colour of Brighton’s away kit is green. The club made it to the FA Cup final in 1983, but English giants Manchester United proved to be a big catch for the Red Devils.
Brighton’s main rivals are Crystal Palace and the Seagulls have recorded 35 wins over the Eagles. Frank Stapleton, Martin Chivers, Joe Corrigan, Bobby Zamora, Mark Lawrenson, Bobby Smith, John Crumplin and Frank Worthington are notable footballers who played for Brighton in the past. The Albion is Preston’s yet another nickname.
