Manchester United-Brighton November 10, 2019: Forecast for the match from experts-Go-Sport

Manchester United – “Brighton”

On November 10, Manchester United will receive Brighton at home as part of the 12th round of the English Premier League.

Manchester United won only 3 matches from the start of the season in the Premier League

The Mankunians for 11 rounds beat only Chelsea (4: 0), Leicester (1: 0) and Norwich (3: 1). In addition to 3 victories, Manchester United has 4 draws and 4 defeats in the Premier League. In the last round, the Ule-Gunnar Suzherra team lost Bournemut on the road (0: 1).

Manchester United takes 10th place in the Premier League standings with 13 points scored and lags behind the first four for 10 points.

Manchester United in only 2 of 11 matches of the Premier League scored more than 1 goal. Muna creates little without Pogba

The most effective for the Mankunians were matches with Chelsea (4: 0) and Norwich (3: 1). In the Premier League, Manchester United has only 13 goals. Low effectiveness could be attributed to Anthony Martial’s injury, but with his return, the Mankunians did not score anymore. The main problem of MJ is in the absence of a creative midfielder. This role was supposed to play Paul Pogba, but the Frenchman is constantly in the infirmary, and Manchester United has no other suitable football player. In this regard, the Mankunians create insufficiently assault moments. The Ule-Gunnar Suzherr team in the last 5 matches only played at least 1 expected goal 2 times.

Manchester United has 2 dry matches since the beginning of the season in the Premier League. The defense of MJ fails, Rashford does not work out in defense

Mankunians miss an average of 1 goal per game, while from the start of the Premier League season at the Manchester United gate, 9 of 11 rivals distinguished themselves. Only Lester and Chelsea could not score the team of Ule-Gunnar Suzherr.

Since the beginning of the season, MJ has a failure in defense because of the inconsistency of the actions of the defense line players. There were several such episodes. In the match with Arsenal (1: 1), Axel Tuanzeb gave an unsuccessful program to Viktor Lindelef, Arsenal players intercepted the ball and brought Pierre-Emerik Obameyang to the shock position. In the game with Newcaled (0: 1), Manchester United players missed Yetro Villemes on the left flank, who gave the hot gear to the Longstaff free Matthew in front of the penalty area.

With the return of Martial in the 9th round, problems on the flanks were added. Marcus Rashford switched to the left flank of the attack, where he completely ignores all the draft work. The Fulbek of Bornmuta, Adam Smith, broke through the zone of Marcus in the last round and gave the burning gear to Joshua King.

Brighton won 3 of the last 5 matches in the Premier League

During this period, the Seagulls beat Tottenham (3:0), Everton (3:2) and Norwich (2:0) in home games. With these results, Brighton moved up in the Premier League table to 8th place. Now the Graham Potter team has 15 points scored.

Brighton improve results with new two-forward scheme

Graham Potter had intended to radically change Brighton’s style since the beginning of the season. The coach used 3-4-3 or 4-5-1 formations, trying to focus on possession of the ball. With such arrangements, the Seagulls won only 1 win in 7 opening matches of the season. Graham Potter made changes and rebuilt the team into a 4-4-2 formation, with which Brighton won 3 matches in the last 4 rounds.

Using the old scheme, Brighton scored 1 expected goal in only 4 out of 7 matches, and with the new arrangement – in each of the 4 played. Brighton have become more likely to create chances due to the fact that now there are more players on the flanks. Fullbacks support the wingers, creating a numerical advantage in the opponent’ half of the field. Left winger Pascal Gross, after changing tactics, gave 2 assists and scored 1 goal, as he received more freedom behind the center line. In addition, the new scheme has a place for the second striker. Paired with Brighton’;s top scorer of the season, Neil Mope (4 goals), is Aaron Connolly, who has already scored 2 goals.

Head-to-head stats for Manchester United and Brighton

Within the framework of the Premier League in the XXI century, Manchester United and Brighton met 4 times. Each team won 2 wins.

Last season, the clubs exchanged victories: Manchester United won at Old Trafford (2:1), and Brighton won at Amex (3:2).

Injured and suspended players

Manchester United have defenders Luke Shaw, Axel Tuanzebe, Diogo Dalot, Timothy Fosu-Mensah and Eric Bailly, midfielders Nemanja Matic, Paul Pogba and Angel Gomez in the infirmary. Ashley Young will not play due to a bust of yellow cards. Participation in the match between Victor Lindelöf and Scott McTominay remains in doubt.

Defenders Adam Webster and Bernardo, as well as midfielder Jose Izquierdo, will not play for Brighton due to injuries.

Prediction: at least one team won’t score and match total is under 2.5

The teams are almost identical in terms of performance: Manchester United have 13 goals in the Premier League, while Brighton have 14. Mancunians have played only 2 matches in the Premier League this season, in which more than 2 goals have been scored. Brighton, on the other hand, scored more than 1 goal in only one match. Statistics indicate that the match should not be productive.

Manchester United average 4.5 shots on target per match. This is not enough to score a lot and regularly. The Mancunians have very limited offensive resources.Only 4 players were distinguished in Manchester United, and Marcus Rashford remains the best scorer of the team with 5 clogged goals, 2 of which are a penalty.

Brighton falls into the target even less often than Manchester United: only 3.7 times per match. The Seagulls are not very diverse in the attack, since Graham Potter prefers to use the same players who do not have a worthy replacement. There is no one to strengthen the game “Brighton”, so you have to hope for exclusively 11 players in the start.

Teams that rarely fall on target and are one -sidedly play on the attack will hardly play a match with a large number of goals. Given the modest effectiveness, one of them can leave the field without goals.
