Brighton and Hove Albion vs Manchester United 23.04.2023 Prediction: FA Cup Semifinal

Match Overview

The second semifinal of the FA Cup will be played between Brighton and Hove Albion and Manchester United at Wembley Stadium on Saturday. While some might say that Brighton will not start as favourites, it is not really that easy to say so. When these two teams met earlier in the season, Brighton managed to upstage Manchester United 2-1 at Old Trafford.  

Key Highlights

The game that they played against Manchester United prior to that, in the latter stages of the 2021/22 season, Brighton beat them 4-0. The Red Devils will be aware of the threat posed by the side from the south of England and not take them too lightly. Manager Erik ten Hag will hope that his team can forget the memories of what happened earlier in the season and start afresh in this game. 

Injury Report

Both these teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Joel Veltman, Tariq Lamptey, Jason Steele and Adam Lallana among others for Brighton. For Manchester United, Raphael Varane, Lisandro Martinez, Scott McTominay, Tyler Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho will among some of the players who will not be available for selection owing to injuries. 

Prediction

Manchester United, despite their recent record against Brighton, appear to be the overwhelming favourites to win this game. Out of the 13 games recorded between these two teams, Manchester United have won nine. Brighton, quite naturally, were victors in the remaining four matches. Strangely enough, there have never been any drawn encounters between these two teams. We expect Manchester United to win this game.
