In their previous meeting earlier this season, Manchester United won 4-2 at home but Brighton is 6-2 in their last 8 meetings. Their last four meetings have gone over the total.
In this Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion Prediction, Brighton is coming as -110 home favorites. This is the final game week of the league and Manchester United has locked the third place of the league, while Brighton sits on the 7th and can go anywhere from the 6th down to the 10th place and out of the European Championships for next season. Both teams have been in good form but Brighton is 4-1 in its last 5 home games and 3-1 in its last 4 home meetings against United and I expect them to get the job done in this one.
