Brighton & Hove Albion F.C. vs Manchester United F.C. Prediction 24 May 2026

Brighton are still chasing a potential European place and currently sit seventh with 53 points and a 52:43 goal difference. The Seagulls have looked especially strong at home lately, comfortably beating Chelsea 3-0 and Wolverhampton 3-0. Away from home, however, results have been less convincing, with draws against Tottenham (2-2) and defeats to Newcastle (1-3) and Leeds (0-1).

Meanwhile, Manchester United have enjoyed a major turnaround this season. After finishing a disappointing fifteenth last year, the Red Devils now occupy third place with 68 points and a 66:50 goal difference. Erik ten Hag’s side continue to show strong form, picking up results against Chelsea (1-0), Brentford (2-1), Liverpool (3-2), Sunderland (0-0), and Nottingham Forest (3-2).

While this match carries greater importance for Brighton, Manchester United are unlikely to ease off in the final round. Both teams possess plenty of attacking quality, and the game has all the ingredients for an open contest with chances at both ends. A high-scoring affair with goals from both sides looks like a strong possibility.

Brighton not to lose and both teams to score (yes) 1.88
