Manchester United has shown their mettle in the last two away matches in the current English campaign. Last weekend, they were in London for the third round of the FA Cup against Arsenal. After the break, Dalot got a red card and the team lost their advantage, conceding a goal to the Gunners. But Amorim's team held strong, got to a penalty shootout, and nailed it, securing their spot in the next round. In the English championship, the last opponent of the Mancunians was Liverpool. At Anfield, against all odds, MU sealed a draw with the leader with a score of 2:2. With 23 points, the United is currently 15th in the EPL standings.
Southampton
Southampton also played in the third round of the FA Cup the previous weekend. They faced Swansea City and, as expected, the Saints scored three unanswered goals and won. Things aren't looking so good in the league though, with no points in the last three matches. They lost to West Ham 0:1, Crystal Palace 1:2, and Brentford 0:5. With just six points, Southampton sits at the bottom of the English Championship.
H2H Meetings
In the first round of the current EPL campaign, Southampton hosted Manchester United. But they missed a great opportunity to open the scoring. Archer fluffed a penalty, with Onana making the save. Then, before half-time, MU twice netted two goals for the Saints, with efforts from de Ligt and Rashford. In the second half, the final score of 3:0 was set by Mancunians' winger Garnacho.

Expert Betting Tips
Southampton is the main dark horse of the current Premier League and the first team to be relegated to the Championship. But despite all the problems in the game, Manchester United is beginning to improve and show at least some results. We think that now is the right time to earn three points and return to the winning way in the Premier League. After the results of the Tuesday and Wednesday matches, United dropped to 15th place, but if they win, Ruben Amorim's team will rise to 12th. MU won't miss their chance and will prove they're the favorites.
Prediction:
W1 & TU (4.5) for 1.70
