Southampton v Man Utd Match Prediction (EPL) – Southampton hosts Manchester United this weekend for match day 4 of the Premier League. In an unusual twist, Southampton are in a higher position at the table than their more decorated opponents. Man Utd had a disastrous start to the season as they lost their first two outings, but they got back on track after defeating arch rivals Liverpool last weekend. Interestingly, the Saints and the Red Devils drew their last two league outings after Man Utd pummeled Southampton 9-0 in February 2021. So, what will be the outcome this time? Let’s take a look and read on for our winning tips below.

Southampton v Man Utd Match Prediction – Preview
Southampton F.C.
Southampton are currently seated 11th in the Premier League. Since losing on opening day, they have not lost since, drawing Leeds 2-2 and seeing off Leicester City 2-1 respectively. In the battle against the Foxes at King Power Stadium, Che Adams helped rally the Saints back from a 0-1 deficit with an emphatic second half double. He responded to James Maddison’s 54th minute free kick by side-footing the equaliser 14 minutes later and volleyed the winning goal at six minutes to time. Manager Ralph Hasenhuttl hailed his squad’s first win this season, giving his boys credit for their determination and “refusal to lose”. They received another morale booster when they advanced in the EFL Cup against Cambridge United 3-0, with Adams scoring another double and Dominic Ballard chipping in one more. Can they keep this up against a Man Utd squad who many are still doubting despite their most recent win?
Southampton are winless in their last 12 EPL games against Man Utd (D7 L5) since a 1-0 win in January 2016.
The Saints have conceded more EPL goals against the Red Devils than they have against any other side in the competition (98). If Man Utd score two more, Southampton would be the fifth team they’ve score 100 goals against in the EPL.
Manchester United F.C.
Manchester United are seated just two slots below Southampton in the table, two games after they were dead last on opening day. After two humiliating losses to Brighton (1-2) and Brentford (0-4), they got on the winning column by beating hated rivals Liverpool 2-1. Jadon Sancho got the Red Devils in front at Old Trafford when he right-footed into the bottom left corner on 16 minutes. Marcus Rashford doubled the lead after the break as he right-footed Anthony Martial’s through ball. Liverpool threatened when Mohamed Salah headed into the bottom right corner with nine minutes to time, but Man Utd held on for the win. Manager Erik Ten Hag praised the team after he scored his first league victory, declaring that they can “play good” football. Can they keep the good vibes up as they visit the Saints next?
After losing 4 of their last 6 league matches against Southampton at the Dell, Man Utd have lost only once in 14 league visits to St. Mary’s (W8 D5) and were unbeaten in their last 11 there since a 1-0 loss in August 2003.
Man Utd have lost each of their final 7 on the road, the longest away league losing run since December 1936 (10). They have conceded four goals in four defeats, as many as they have shipped 4+ in their previous 143 away league games.

Southampton v Man Utd Match Prediction – Final Thoughts
With Southampton off to a promising start, and Adams showing up in their last two outings in all competitions, the Saints have shown that can hold up against a Man Utd side still looking for its identity under Ten Hag. But the Dutch manager may finally have figured out how to use his squad, and this could pose a problem for Southampton. And with Cristiano Ronaldo itching to make his mark this season, the Red Devils are looking like the match favourites for a slim win in a pivotal season for the club. With that, let’s take a look at our predictions.
