HOPING to make it back-to-back wins in the Premier league, Manchester United make the trip to St Mary’s to face Southampton on Saturday lunchtime.
A disastrous start to the season saw the 13 -time champions pointless and propping up the table after two rounds of fixtures.
However, the Erik ten Hag era received a much-needed lift off on Monday night as the Dutchman steered his side to a 2-1 win over arch-rivals Liverpool.
That triumph has flipped the mood music at Old Trafford and the Red Devils will be desperate to follow up on that success with another victory at Southampton on Saturday.
While there was the odd murmuring of discontent at St Mary’s over the close season, Ralph Hasenhüttl’s side have certainly been at the races in recent weeks.
After coming back from two goals down to earn a point against Leeds a fortnight ago, the Saints secured their maiden league win of the season with a 2-1 win at Leicester last weekend.
Outright Betting
Both meetings between the pair last season ended all square and the same outcome on Saturday can be backed at a best 16/5 (SBK) while a Southampton success is an unfancied 3/1 with William Hill
Despite losing each of their last seven Premier League away matches, Manchester United make the journey south as short-priced 8/11 favourites with PaddyPower.
Betting Angles
At the best of times, Manchester United are difficult to trust at odds-on prices, so I'm happy to avoid the 1×2 market and instead combine each team to hit 3+ corners and each team to receive a card at 20/23 (Bet 365).
Southampton were prominent corner performers last season, averaging 6.13 flag kicks per-game – a tally only topped in the top-flight by titans Man City, Liverpool and Chelsea.
As for Manchester United, they were posting a 5.18 corner per 90 minutes last term, not to mention they have racked up 14 corners across their opening three games of this season.
With that in mind, coupled with the likelihood of a decent degree of goalmouth action here, three corners apiece doesn't look like too much to ask of two teams who tend to deploy forward-thinking styles of play.
I'll complete the 20/23 (Bet 365) combination with each side to receive a card in what should be a closely-fought contest in front of the TV cameras on Saturday lunchtime.
Both teams were averaging north of 1.7 yellow cards per-game in the Premier League last season, while referee Andy Madley has awarded both teams a card in three of his four outings across all competitions this season so far.
With all things considered, the 9/10 (Bet 365) about over three asian cards also looks like an attractive betting proposition.
Here we'd be paid out if four or more cards are flashed while our stake would be refunded if exactly three cards are awarded during this south coast clash.
The above-mentioned card play has copped in five of the pair's collective six Premier League games this season so far and that only adds to the appeal of supporting the same selection at St Mary's.
