Football ManUtd120Tuesday's English Premier League action sees Brighton take on Manchester United and we look to the goals markets for a bet.

 

 

 

 

Brighton

 

Brighton have played 2 matches since the league resumed and they have banked 4 points from a 2-1 home win over Arsenal and a 0-0 draw away to Leicester. They are now 6 points clear of the drop zone and probably just another 6 points or so from securing their Premier League status. Draws are commonplace with 6 in the last 9 having finished all square and in addition to that recent home win over Arsenal they have also beaten Spurs at this venue and drawn with Chelsea and Wolves so they do have form when hosting top 6 opposition.

 

 

Man United

 

United have been really busy of late and on Friday they saw off Norwich in extra time with a 2-1 victory away from home to seal an FA Cup semi final place. They have also played 2 league games since the restart which delivered a 1-1 draw at Spurs and a 3-0 home win over Sheffield United. They come into this game in sixth position, 3 points behind Wolves who have played 1 game more and victory here would see United move into fifth spot on goal difference. They are unbeaten in their last 7 league games, a run which comprises of 4 wins and 3 draws.

The Verdict:

 

I've been finding it tough going when it comes to landing bets in this league over the last couple of weeks or so and I'll look to the stats for inspiration. The trend in United's last 9 league matches is for 2-3 goals in total, an outcome which has arrived 8 times in that sequence. That covers a number of scorelines I could envisage in what could be a tricky assignment for the visitors.

 

Bet: Total match goals 2-3 at 19/20
