Brighton vs Manchester United 23.04.2023

The battle for a place in the final of the world’s oldest football competition, the FA Cup, begins this weekend. In one of the Semi Finals, Brighton will lock horns with Manchester United. For Brighton, getting past the Red Devils would be give them a first FA Cup final ticket since 1983. If successful, it will be a major icing on the cake for De Zerbi’s men who are also eyeing a possible place in Europe next season given their league position.

Having won the EFL Cup, Man United failed to make past Sevilla in the UEFA Europa League, losing 5-2 on aggregate. Now, Ten Haag’s men are pushing for a possible domestic double this season. This quest faces a difficult hurdle given how formidable Brighton have been this season. In fact, in their last 2 clashes, Brighton have beaten Man United 4-0 and 2-1 respectively. Therefore, the Red Devils know they have their work cut out if they are to push for a first FA Cup since 2016.

Certainly, both sides are hungry for more glory and we expect this hunger to propel them into giving a mouth watering clash. Hence, we are anticipating that at least 10 corners will be played in this tie.

Main tip: Over 9.5 Corners (go to tip details)
