The Acca Scout from oddschecker has recommended the following four legs for your Southampton vs Manchester United Bet Builder.

Leg 1 - Both Teams To Score

If you can exclude the anomaly 9-0 result during the pandemic season, both of these sides have scored in their last seven meetings.

Leg 2 - Over 2.5 Goals

The stats again point towards goals being scored with both sides looking shaky at the back. Southampton have conceded at least two goals in six of their last seven home matches, while over 2.5 goals have been scored in five of Manchester United's last six games.

Leg 3 - Bruno Fernandes To Score Anytime

Without Harry Maguire in the side, the Portuguese will continue to captain the side - a role he thrives in with added responsibility. He’s very likely to be on penalties too, with Cristiano Ronaldo expected to be among the substitutes once more.
