Brighton were very good in friendly matches and beat Everton away quite easily, which is not such an easy task, yes there was a red card, but by that time Brighton were already winning 0-2 and most likely would have brought this match to victory.
And Manchester United beat Fulham with difficulty, and although they strengthened the team in the off-season I did not see anything outstanding in their game. I think that it will not be easy for them with Brighton, and I think that Brighton will not lose at home, that is, I would not risk betting against Brighton, but I also do not yet understand what to expect from Manchester United, how ready are they for games with strong opponents, will they focus on defense, will a draw in an away match be enough for them?
Don't be surprised if Man United could lose to Brighton. Because during the recruitment of players carried out by Man United, it has not shown significant development. They are certainly undergoing a tiring transition process, while Brighton has not changed its formation much and even this season they have used their long break to train well. Brighton is a club with quite good management and is even very professional in choosing and selecting players. For that reason, I slightly favor Brighton to bring 3 points.
The second week match will start tomorrow and this match will definitely be interesting because both teams are currently in high motivation after they won 3 points in the first match, in terms of player quality, of course Manchester United is superior to Brighton, but if we look at Brighton ability to beat Manchester United in the previous few matches, so red devil should be wary of Brighton game in the tomorrow match.
I my opinion, Manchester and Brighton are no different in terms of transition, indeed Manchester United has carried out quite a lot of transfer activity in the transfer market this season, so perhaps their players cohesiveness is not yet good at the moment, but if we talk about transition case it is actually Brighton who have a lot of work that they need to complete to have a good season, Brighton have not made too many changes to their squad and that has created their players unity are better, but we must not forget that de zerbi role last season was very big in making brighton a strong team so de zerbi departure this season will definitely greatly affect their performance and playing strategy this season.
