Southampton vs Manchester United: Preview, Free Tip & Prediction

21.08.2021 10:00

The Red Devils from Manchester will face their first away game of the season in the Premier League, where they have the opportunity to make history by equalling the record for the most consecutive away games unbeaten in the top English competition.

Background information, news and team form

Manchester United managed to get off to a dream start to the new season with a dream performance at home to a sold-out Old Trafford against visiting Leeds United, when they managed to outclass their opponents 5-1. The biggest stars of the game were Frenchman Paul Pogba, who flashed four assists to take the man of the match award after a lacklustre performance last season, and Portugal's Bruno Fernandes, who scored a clean hat-trick without a penalty. Bruno was joined on the scorers list by Fred and Mason Greenwood.

Southampton comes into this game after an unflattering 3-1 loss at Everton. Despite the fact that Adam Armstrong, the Saints' new signing from Blackburn, managed to get through in the 21st minute, the Saints could not hold on to the lead and Everton, after goals from Richarlison, Doucoure and Calvert-Lewin, managed to turn the game on their side in the second half. Southampton is in this match as clear outsiders and Ralph Hasenhuttl's situation is even more difficult as he lost two key players when striker Danny Ings and defender Jannik Vestergaard left for Aston Villa and Leicester City respectively.

 

 

Betdoin's view of the match

The Red Devils managed to score an impressive 5 goals in the last game. Southampton is also a team that is far from scoring a goal in a match. Last season's top scorer Danny Ings may have left the Saints, but his place has been taken by Blackburn youngster Armstrong, who has already shown for several seasons in the Championship that he certainly won't get lost in the penalty area. Taking all this into account and comparing it with our algorithm, we find that the goal bet really makes sense. Whether in the form of a 2.5 over or, for example, a both score tip.

 

 

Absentees and estimated line-ups 

Southampton will again miss injured players Sam McQueen and William Smallbone, but otherwise, the Austrian coach will have a full squad at his disposal.

Manchester United will have to do without the services of Marcus Rashford, Alex Telles and Dean Henrderson. Phil Jones remains a doubt, despite playing a friendly against Burnley behind closed doors over the week. Edinson Cavani has already slowly started training with the team but will not be available for the game just yet. Jesse Lingard has already recovered from a coronavirus infection but his start is questionable. Varane, who was already introduced as an official reinforcement during the last game, is likely to travel with the team, but a start in the starting eleven is almost certainly out of the question.

Southampton - estimated line-up:

McCarthy - Walker-Peters, Bednarek, Salisu, Perraud - Armstrong, Ward-Prowse, Romeu, Djenepo - Armstrong, Adams

Manchester United - estimated line-up:

De Gea - Wan-Bissaka, Lindelof, Maguire, Shaw - Fred, McTominay - Sancho, Fernandes, Pogba - Greenwood
