Southampton – Manchester United
22.08.2021
Southampton welcomes Manchester United at their stadium on Sunday afternoon. The last time these two sides locked horns Man Utd ran out 9-0 winners and following both team’s results on the opening weekend of the new season, the Saints will be fearing the possibility of another heavy defeat. Southampton took the lead at Goodison Park and lead at the break but ended up leaving the northwest with nothing to show for their efforts. Man Utd thrashed Leeds 5-1 at Old Trafford thanks to fantastic displays from Pogba, who claimed four assists, and Fernandes who helped himself to a hat trick.
Three of the last five meetings between these two clubs have gone the way of Man Utd with Southampton’s last victory against the Red Devils arriving in 2016. The visitors have won three of their last five matches, while Southampton have lost three of their last six outings.
Our prediction is for an United win and over 2,5 goals.
This match will be played on 22/08/2021 at 16:00.
