Brighton host Manchester United at the Amex Stadium on Sunday, May 24 (11:00 AM ET \/ 10:00 AM CT \/ 8:00 AM PT) on the Premier League’s final day, with Brighton fighting for a Conference League spot and Manchester United already confirmed in third.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our Brighton vs Manchester United prediction starts with the points picture: Brighton, seventh-placed with 53 points, host Manchester United, third-placed with 68. Manchester United have wrapped up Champions League qualification, while Brighton remain in the four-way Conference League shootout for the seventh-place berth and could climb above Bournemouth (56) and into the Europa spot with a win paired with the right results above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

bet365 prices Brighton at -111 to win, with Manchester United at +270 and the draw at +290. The home side is the favorite for a reason \u2014 Brighton have won nine of 18 league games at the Amex this season, and Manchester United arrive missing Benjamin Sesko to a long-term issue and without Matthijs de Ligt or Manuel Ugarte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Brighton to Win<\/strong><\/td>\n-111 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(53%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBrighton have the home record (9-6-3) and the Conference-spot motivation. Manchester United’s recent road form has been steady, but the home favorite price still has value here.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Correct Score: 2-1 Brighton<\/strong><\/td>\n+850 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(11%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBrighton have BTTS in 11 of 18 home games and Manchester United have BTTS in 14 of 18 trips. A 2-1 home win mirrors the shape of the seasons’ recent meetings, including Brighton’s 3-1 at Old Trafford in January.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Danny Welbeck<\/strong> Anytime Goalscorer<\/strong><\/td>\n+110 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(48%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nThirteen league goals from 2,204 minutes \u2014 the veteran striker has been Brighton’s leading scorer this season and is a near-coin-flip to find the net at the Amex.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Over 2.5 Goals<\/strong><\/td>\n-200 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(67%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nManchester United away games have averaged Over 2.5 in 14 of 18 trips. The recent H2H series has produced 3.4 goals per game on average.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Both Teams to Score: Yes<\/strong><\/td>\n-225 @ bet365<\/strong><\/a>
(69%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBTTS landed in 11 of 18 Brighton home games and 14 of 18 Manchester United trips. Both sides have scored in each of the last four H2H meetings.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Our approach: Start with Brighton to Win at -111, layer Welbeck anytime as the player-prop value, and add Over 2.5 as the over-friendly leg. Our soccer predictions<\/a> hub tracks the live picks for the rest of the day’s card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
