Manchester United vs Southampton prediction 16/01/2025 | EPL

• Competition: English Premier League
• Date: 16^th January, 2025
• Kick-off: 21:00 CET
• Venue: Old Trafford

Manchester United will be looking to make it three games unbeaten in all competitions when they face bottom of the Premier League Southampton at Old Trafford on Thursday evening.

The home side played out an impressive 2-2 draw away to Liverpool at Anfield last week, showing the level of performance newly appointed coach Ruben Amorim wants to instill in the team. The 2-2 draw against the current league leaders was followed by an FA Cup penalty shoot-out win over Arsenal, but the hosts are still winless in their last four home Premier League games.

Southampton, on the other hand, also reached the next FA Cup round with a 3-0 win over Swansea last weekend. However, the away side have not won any of their last ten Premier League games and are still without a win away from home this season.

Manchester United vs Southampton Betting Tips: AH1 (-1.5)

The Red Devils are gradually coming to life this season, at least judging by recent performances and results. In the first week of the new year, Amorim’s side drew impressively 2-2 with Liverpool at Anfield, and last weekend they managed to beat Arsenal on penalties to progress to the next round of the FA Cup.

Manchester United are unbeaten in their last 16 head-to-head meetings and Southampton have not won any of their last ten away Premier League games.
