Premier League, played Sunday, January 26th, 2025
Here is our Fulham v Man Utd tip and game preview. Based on our detailed analysis of statistics listed below and other factors, we predicted both teams to score in this game, under 2.5 goals, and a tie. Our confidence in this pick was moderate relative to other picks.
Fulham bounced back from a previous 3-2 defeat to West Ham last weekend in the Premier League with a solid 2-0 win on the road at Leicester City and The Cottagers now return to Craven Cottage for Sunday evening's encounter against an out-of-sorts Manchester United outfit.
As for Manchester United, the Red Devils' delight after beating Premier League strugglers Southampton 3-2 at Old Trafford was short-lived as a heavy and disappointing 3-1 loss at home to Brighton swiftly followed, making it just two wins from their last nine games overall in the English top flight for the visitors.
Fulham have strung together a decent and consistent looking sequence of results in the Premier League in recent weeks as the London hosts have been handed just the single defeat in their last 10 matches overall, that being the aforementioned 3-2 loss away from home at West Ham.
Within this 10-match period, Fulham have picked up wins against Brighton, Chelsea and Leicester City along with being involved in no fewer than six draws, five of which resulted in score-draws with both teams hitting the back of the net.
Indeed, the goals market looks a very attractive proposition as both teams have scored in 17 out of Fulham's 22 matches to date in the Premier League and this trend could well continue on Sunday evening at Craven Cottage.
Manchester United stumbled to a sixth defeat in nine games in the English top flight last weekend as their latest humbling came in the shape of a 3-1 loss at home to Brighton at Old Trafford, leaving the Red Devils remaining in 13th place in the Premier League table.
Recent losses at the hands of Arsenal, Nottingham Forest, Bournemouth, Wolves, Newcastle United and Brighton have resulted in Manchester United occupying a place in the lower half of the Premier League table and their poor results this season have prompted the tag of ‘the worst United team ever'.
Poor results away from home have also contributed to Manchester United's current decline as the Red Devils have managed to pick up just three wins from their previous 16 outings on the road which is an appalling record for a team of United's stature.
In addition, Ruben Amorim's side have also been dealt seven defeats within this 16-game period on their travels, while the goals market again looks promising from Manchester United's perspective as the Red Devils have conceded in each of their last nine games overall in the domestic top flight.
Fulham v Manchester United Verdict
Both Fulham and Manchester United are capable of scoring goals and previous exchanges between these two sides have resulted in six of the last eight meetings have produced goals for both teams.
