24/10/2025 12:18:00 ScoreStream

The Opta supercomputer has provided insights and forecasts for the upcoming Premier League game between Manchester United and Brighton.

After a resounding victory over Liverpool at Anfield, Manchester United will return home to face Brighton in the 9th round of the Premier League.

With the support of Old Trafford and the morale boost from securing two wins for the first time under coach Ruben Amorim, the "Red Devils" are somewhat favored in the upcoming clash.

This was highlighted by Opta , which predicted Manchester United to win in 37.7% of the 10,000 simulated scenarios run before the match. Conversely, Brighton holds a 35.9% chance of extending their winning streak to four at Old Trafford, while a draw is forecasted at 26.4%.

However, Manchester United has been at a disadvantage against the visitors in recent head-to-head records.

According to statistics from Opta, Manchester United has lost 6 of their last 7 Premier League encounters with Brighton (winning only once). This is double the number of defeats they suffered in the previous 17 meetings (winning 12, drawing 2, losing 3).

Brighton even treats Old Trafford as their "second home," having won all 3 recent visits there in the Premier League.

In their last similar encounter in January, Bruno Fernandes equalized for the "Red Devils" from the penalty spot after Yankuba Minteh opened the scoring, but goals from Mitoma and Georginio Rutter secured a 3-1 victory for the "Seagulls."

The last time a team won more consecutive matches at Old Trafford was Manchester City, with a streak of 5 games from 1968 to 1972. Brighton aims to take a step closer to that record in their upcoming away game this weekend.

Since they do not have a midweek match, Manchester United will likely have their strongest squad ready for the next game. With new forwards quickly adapting, the Old Trafford side can confidently aim for a positive result against Brighton, who are just behind them on the league table.

Meanwhile, Brighton is also impressive, currently undefeated in their last four matches in England's top-flight competition (2 wins, 2 draws). Additionally, The Amex Stadium team boasts a "in-form" Danny Welbeck, who has scored four goals in his last three Premier League games, far surpassing the three goals he scored in the previous 15 matches.

The former Manchester United player has often caused trouble for his old club, and his return to Old Trafford could once again bring disappointment to the home fans.

The match between Manchester United and Brighton will take place at 11:30 PM tomorrow (October 25).
