Old Trafford always guarantees a special atmosphere, and in the 9th round of the Premier League we’ll see Manchester United face Brighton & Hove Albion.

United have enjoyed a solid run of successful games, which lifted them to 9th place in the table. Their season didn’t start well, but after crucial victories over Liverpool (2–1), Sunderland (2–0), and Chelsea (2–1), the fans have started to believe in the team again.

Brighton & Hove Albion are known for their resilience. They may not have a squad full of stars, but they consistently find ways to take points and sometimes even beat the league’s giants. For example, within just nine rounds they managed to defeat Chelsea away (1–3) and Manchester City (2–1)—very impressive results.

Prediction for the Manchester United vs Brighton & Hove Albion

The teams sit next to each other in the middle of the table, but United clearly have greater potential for growth. To be honest, during the 2025/26 season I often bet against Manchester United and was always proven wrong. This time, the Red Devils have every chance to secure victory: home advantage, good shape, and no injury concerns. The prediction: a win for Manchester United.
