Manchester United vs Southampton Prediction & Picks - Premier League

 by Carlos Zabala | in Premier League Picks

Manchester United have rarely had such a clear chance of winning 3 points as they will have in their next match against Southampton when they host them at Old Trafford on Thursday, with odds of -322 for a victory in 90 minutes. We would have to go back to 2016 to date the last time Southampton were able to beat Manchester United.

Amorim's Red Devils had a fairly satisfactory result in the FA Cup by eliminating Arsenal in London. At the start of 2025, Manchester United drew with Liverpool and beat Arsenal on penalties, leaving behind the terrible streak of 4 consecutive games losing to close 2024. The truth is that despite winning against Arsenal on penalties, that game was completely dominated by the Gunners generating an xG of 3.22 and taking 70% possession, Manchester United had to resort to making up to 50 clearances and intercepting 6 balls to maintain the draw. Maguire in particular had a great game playing in the center of the three-man defense and obtaining a performance grade of 7.8.

Southampton, now managed by Juric, will most likely be relegated, they have lost the last 3 games against lower-middle table rivals in the Premier League and have a goal differential of -32.

At least Southampton managed to get through to the next round in the FA Cup as well, beating Swansea 3-0 in a game where they were the favourites on the betting sites and won with a goal from Ghanaian Sulemana that ended a long streak of scoreless games. On Manchester United's side, Leny Yoro is expected to join the defence on Thursday, as well as Malacia replacing Dalot. Manchester United already beat the Saints at St Mary's Stadium earlier this season 3-0, with goals from De Ligt and Rashford. Our prediction for Manchester United vs Southampton is: Manchester United -1.5.
