With an in-depth knowledge of the region & teams I have been involved in a specialist podcast & more for close to a decade. My favourite types of bets are attacking the goal lines and identifying the tactics & style of each team & manager who can contribute positively. Outside of betting I was once a Sunday League goalkeeper myself. But my boots are now retired and instead prefer to hit up the cricket pitch and golf course in my spare time.

Level 1 Bet Builder Tip

🏆 Man United to Win

📈 Odds: 1.25

The Red Devils have been in poor form in the Premier League, but if they can’t beat Southampton at home then something is wrong. The Saints have lost a massive 16 times in 20 matches and were abysmal in their most recent match losing 0-5 at home to Brentford. This is by far the easiest home match United have had since facing Everton back in early December and on that occasion they won convincingly 4-0. We should expect them as a bare minimum to collect the 3 points.

⚽ Bruno Fernandes to Score or Assist 🔄

📈 Odds: 1.73

Fernandes has stepped up for United in recent weeks, giving a man of the match performance and notching an assist at Anfield before netting in his sides FA Cup triumph over Arsenal on Sunday. He has 4 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League this season and up against the worst team in the league at home, he'll be eager to continue his positive form. Southampton shipped 5 goals in their last league outing and Fernandes could cause the Saints defence some more misery here.

🩹 Bruno Fernandes to be Fouled 1+ Times 🔄

📈 Odds: 1.33

The United captain is fouled on average 1.30 times per 90 mins. He’s in the heart of the action in midfield and should be able to win at least 1 cheap free kick here. Potential opponents he could be up against are Flynn Downes, Mateus Fernandes and Tyler Dibbling who all average 2.0, 1.40 and 1.10 fouls per 90 mins respectively.

🚩 Over 5.5 Man United Corners

📈 Odds: 1.40

Southampton concede an average of 6.85 corners per game in the Premier League this season and we should expect Man United to rack up the flag kicks. They are a clear home favourite and expected to dominate from the off so taking the over 5.5 home corner line looks a solid piece to add to your bet builder. In the most recent Premier League game in which United were favoured at home, they amassed a huge 13 corners v Bournemouth and even at Anfield against Liverpool they racked up a hefty 9 flag kicks. Under Ivan Juric, Southampton have conceded 8 and 6 corners in their two away games so this looks like a safe line.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip

🏆 Man United (-1) Handicap

📈 Odds: 1.80

As mentioned in the previous bet builder, Man United should win the game and win it quite comfortably. The last two times they had a home match against teams down at the bottom of the table they beat Everton 4-0 and Leicester 3-0. Southampton have lost 8 of their 16 games by a 2 goal margin or more so taking The Red Devils on the -1 handicap makes sense, there should be a big gulf in class between the two teams.

⏱️ Half-Time Result: Man United

📈 Odds: 1.67

Southampton have been losing at half time in a massive 11 Premier League matches this season and it’s likely that United will claim a lights to flag victory. Ruben Amorim’s men have only been leading 3 times at the interval but as mentioned before, a better judge of them comes in the home fixtures v Everton and Leicester and in both of those games they were leading at the break. There’s a strong chance that United will come out strongly out of the traps and hold an early advantage.

🟨 Taylor Harwood-Bellis to be Shown a Card 🔄

📈 Odds: 3.75

Harwood-Bellis has been booked in his last 2 topflight matches, and the ex-Man City academy man could benefit from some extra motivation here. He averages 1.20 fouls per 90 mins and could have a busy night up against a rejuvenated Man United side after two solid displays against Liverpool and Arsenal. Harwood-Bellis is Southampton's joint most carded player in the Premier League this season (7) and looks a big price to receive another here, especially taking into account referee John Brooks' record. The official is averaging a huge 5.78 cards per game this season.

🟨 Manuel Ugarte to be Shown a Card 🔄

📈 Odds: 3.10

Ugarte is playing in a midfield role for Man United which requires him to get quite stuck in and break up play if needed. He averages the most fouls per 90 mins of any United player (1.60), which automatically makes him a card candidate, especially in a match refereed by John Brooks who has been quite strict this season (averaging 5.78 cards per game). Ugarte has been carded in 2 of his last 3 Premier League appearances so has recent form of going in the book. Southampton might get some breakaway chances which he has to snuff out cynically, which would further add weight to this selection.
