Brighton vs Manchester United Betting Tips
Player to score or assist – Bruno Fernandes @ 1.83
Another United-themed preview, another Fernandes tip. The Portuguese midfielder recorded his 20th assist of the season vs Forest, and has been arguably the best player in the division this term. Fernandes has recorded a contribution in nine of his last 10 Premier League outings – and we are backing him to deliver again on the final day.
To assist a goal – Bruno Fernandes @ 2.75
And if you are feeling a tad braver with your bet, wagering on Fernandes to record an assist could be a path to go down. Against Forest, it was clear that United’s skipper was more focused on creating rather than scoring, as he chases down the single-season assist record. So the increased price on offer here may prove to be very profitable indeed.
Total goals – Over 2.5 @ 1.47
This is a fixture which usually delivers goals. In five of the last six meetings across all competitions, over 2.5 of them were scored. And with Fernandes chasing the record, United will look to play on the front – which opens the door for an end-to-end contest.
