Southampton host Manchester United in round 2 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, August 22nd at St. Mary's Stadium (Southampton)
Southampton are the middle peasants in the top division and have been playing in the Premier League for a long time. The ending of the previous season turned out to be blurry: six defeats in ten last rounds. As a result, the team ended up in the final 15th line of the standings. In the summer, the club lost six players (four sales and two free agents). Important losses are center-back Yannick Westergaard and striker Danny Ings. However, there are six newcomers. Head coach Ralf Hasenhüttl, who has been working with the team for several years, will have to rebuild a combat-ready team. The start of the 2021/2022 season turned out to be unsuccessful. The Saints scored a relatively quick goal against Everton in the first round, but the Toffees upset their goalkeeper three times within half an hour of the game in the second half.

Manchester United won nothing in the previous season. The club had a good transfer campaign in the summer. Two strong players joined the camp of the Red Devils. They managed to get Raphael Varane and Jadon Sancho into their ranks. Considering that the Mancunians kept the backbone of the team without selling anyone, now everyone expects trophies from Solskjaer. The start of the 2021/2022 season was very confident. Manchester United hammered Leeds (5-1), although the opponent was considered very inconvenient for any representative of the Premier League. The whole team played great, but let's highlight Fernandes's hat-trick and four assists of Paul Pogba.
Southampton have been a convenient opponent for Manchester United lately. In the previous season, the Red Devils beat the Saints twice. Moreover, in the second round, the club from Manchester destroyed the opponent at home with a score of 9-0. Southampton lost several key players in the summer, so it will be very difficult for the team to struggle with the grandees of local football. We expect a confident victory of the favorite of the upcoming confrontation. Manchester United now look very confident.
Prediction for the match: Manchester United to win
