Premier League 2024 predictions, latest odds and betting preview: Southampton vs Manchester United and more

The 2024 Premier League resumes after the international break, and one of the most anticipated matches of the day will be the one between Southampton and Manchester United at St. Mary's Stadium. Both teams arrive looking to score crucial points, especially after a difficult start to the season. Throughout history, these confrontations have been close duels and this match does not seem to be the exception.

Here we tell you, we will review some of the most outstanding forecasts and predictions for this match, including statistics and trends that have been key in the previous clashes between these two Premier League teams.

Predictions, betting tips and odds for the Manchester United match

One of the aspects that has drawn the most attention in Manchester United's recent performances is the lack of offensive forcefulness. Despite having quality players, the Red Devils have had difficulty scoring goals. So far this season, they have only scored two goals, both by players who are usually substitutes: Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo. If the team's starting figures do not wake up, it is likely that we will again see a game with few scores.

For their part, Southampton have scored only one goal in the tournament, which came in injury time against Brentford, in a match they were already losing 3-0. Furthermore, the last two confrontations between Southampton and Manchester United in the Premier League have had less than 1.5 goals (0-0 and 1-0 in favor of United), which reinforces this forecast.

Manchester United have shown a worrying trend in terms of discipline on the pitch. Player frustrations due to poor results have resulted in a high number of yellow cards. On average, Erik ten Hag's team has received almost three cards per game. In their last 3-0 defeat against Liverpool, four United players were booked: Zirkzee, Lisandro Martínez, Mainoo and De Ligt.

With the match against Southampton promising to be a close battle, United's players are likely to be under pressure again, increasing the chances of them receiving multiple cards.

According to Sportingnews:

• The match will have less than 1.5 goals: 4.5 to 1 +350
• United will receive at least 3 cards: 2.20 to 1 +120

By result

•  1-1: 7.50 (+650)
• Manchester United 2-1: 8.00 (+700)
  
• Manchester United 1-0: 8.50 (+1750)
  
• Manchester United 2-0: 9.00 (+800)
  
• 2-2: 12.00 (+1100)
