Brighton’s hopes for a top-eight finish solely rely on the final round of the EPL season this Saturday where all fixtures kick off concurrently, one involving Brighton welcoming a qualified Manchester United to Amex Stadium on the south coast.
The market has already taken the stakes into consideration, thus Brighton are favorites to win this game. But, the early odds for Jack Hinshelwood to find the target for the home side should be shorter than what’s on offer.
With a couple of teams still in the contest for the European rankings, Brighton cannot afford to sit back, nor would a tie be sufficient as it’d be taking a big risk qualification wise. Plus, they’ll be looking to bounce back after their infuriating 1-0 loss at Elland Road last weekend, which would’ve been a very beneficial three points.
Hürzeler’s men created tons more high-quality chances than Leeds, recording an xG of 3.06, with Hinshelwood producing the most shots. Really, most of Brighton’s goals as of late have come from the attacking midfielder, netting in three out of his last four.

Our Brighton vs Manchester United Prediction
As a whole, The Seagulls typically succeed offensively in the big games, winning recently against both Chelsea and Liverpool, plus against Man City earlier in the season, and scoring three past Aston Villa despite the defeat.
Jack Hinshelwood is finishing the season in his best form yet for the hosts, playing very consistently right now, as a result scoring three out of his total four goals in his last four matches. He’s taken multiple shots in each of his last four, hitting the target in each.
When facing the top teams this season, the number 10 hasn’t been put off in front of goal, recording more than two attempts against Bournemouth, Villa (home and away), and most recently Arsenal. It'd be quite surprising if Hinshelwood doesn't get a chance or two in this important game, against a team that doesn't have anything to play for.
Our Brighton vs Manchester United Pick: Jack Hinshelwood 1+ Shots on Target.
