That is a firm lean toward Manchester United, so the question is whether the form backs the price or quietly argues against it. Our call sits at 1.80, and we only stake it because the reasons for it outweigh the reasons against.
Across 2 past meetings MAN hold the edge with 2 wins to 0, with 0 drawn. Old results carry less weight than they look, but the pattern is worth a glance.

Old meetings are worth less than they look. Squads change, managers change, and a result from two seasons ago tells you almost nothing about this one.
United have much better form than Brighton and should edge it at Old Trafford according to the site model. The price of 1.80 is a bit short for a cup tie though. What are you all on for this one?
