Manchester United Predictions, Preview and Predictions. Southampton are unbeaten in seven games as they welcome Manchester United to St Mary’s on Sunday. Even so, the hosts are not favourites, at 3.95 to beat the team four places below them in the Premier League table. Poor, poor Southampton. For all the progress Ralph Hasenhuttl has made since their October 2019 mauling at the hands of Leicester City, here they are again. Manchester United made hay at Old Trafford, reigniting their Premier League title bid by equalling the competition’s all-time largest winning margin – the second time the 20-time English.

Manchester Utd vs Southampton Prediction & Betting tips
The match between Manchester United and Southampton is scheduled for Tuesday evening at Old Trafford. Manchester United dropped points twice last week. Ole Gunnar Solskjær and his men can therefore not afford to lose a point against Southampton if they want to continue to compete for the league title.
Manchester United:
Manchester United are second in the Premier League. The question is whether Manchester United will rise one more place this season. The chance seems more realistic that The Red Devils will be passed by Liverpool in the coming weeks. In the Premier League it now looks like this: Manchester City are first with 44 points from 20 games. Manchester United, Liverpool and Leicester City follow with 41, 40 and 39 points respectively. Those three teams have also played one more game than Manchester City. At Manchester United they can therefore not afford to lose a point if Southampton is a guest on Tuesday evening.
Over the past week, Manchester United has significantly reduced the title chances. Last Wednesday, the team of Ole Gunnar Solskjær lost 1-2 in-house against the bottom of the league Sheffield United. In the weekend, Manchester United again ran into a loss of points. On Saturday evening, Manchester United came no further than a goalless draw at Arsenal. Given the proportions on the field, Manchester United might have earned a little more. Of course, criticism of Manchester United is increasing again now that two games in a row have not been won. Bruno Fernandes in particular had to cancel after the duel with Arsenal. According to experts, the Portuguese would still be too invisible during the top matches.
Southampton:
The Southampton players logically have nothing to lose if they have to visit Manchester United on Tuesday evening. Every point would be a bonus point for Ralph Hasenhüttl and his men. Southampton is in eleventh place in the Premier League and The Saints are not dissatisfied with that. At the beginning of this season, Southampton got off the starting blocks, but recently the results have been somewhat disappointing. For example, Southampton lost the last three league games it played.
After Leicester City (2-0) and Arsenal (1-3), Aston Villa was 0-1 too strong for Southampton on Saturday evening. Southampton also managed to win only one of the last six league matches. That happened nearly a month ago when Liverpool was beaten 1-0 at St. Mary’s Stadium. At Southampton they are only too happy to book a result against a title contender on Tuesday evening, but whether Southampton can make it difficult for Manchester United is doubtful. Especially because of the current form of The Saints. On top of that, Hasenhüttl still has to miss a lot of players due to injuries.

2nd February 2021 – 21:15, Old Trafford, Manchester
Manchester United will host Southampton in the Premier League 22nd round on Tuesday evening. The hosts want to keep up the pace in the title battle, while the away side is looking forward to breaking its losing streak.
Manchester United vs Southampton Match Preview & Team News
A surprising defeat against Sheffield United last Wednesday ended United’s unbeatable run of 13 matches. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side managed to get back from London with just a point from Arsenal last weekend. Therefore, the red Devils slipped to 2nd place, being three points behind Manchester City. Liverpool also managed to improve lately and, we should see an exciting title battle. The hosts now need to show the winning character, as the public thinks they got afraid of becoming the champions. Bruno Fernandes and the lads need to improve their finishing since four goals in the last five rounds are not enough for remaining on the top. United shouldn’t spill more points at Old Trafford, and they need to get back on the winning track.
Southampton entered a poor streak, as they lost three times in a row. They have been around the continental qualification for a long time, but the visitors slipped to the 11th spot. Everybody expected them to keep up the pace after a 1:0 win over Liverpool, but that didn’t happen. Danny Ings and the lads have some trouble in converting their chances into goals lately. The Saints scored only twice in the previous five Premier League rounds, and Ralph Hasenhuttl needs to urgently address that issue. It’s still not too late for Southampton to enter the battle for the Europa League spot as they are four points behind Tottenham. They have been pretty tight when playing away from home this season, as Southampton lost only twice on the road. However, they have also been involved in a lot of draws. The visitors need to put a disciplined performance and try to remain undefeated in this match.
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The hosts cannot allow themselves to lose points at Old Trafford if they want to keep challenging the title. We believe they will meet the expectations and get all three points from this match.
Goals Market Prediction
Head-to-head matches between these two sides have been very exciting and efficient lately. Bots teams were able to score in their last five encounters, and we don’t think this one will be much different.
