Another big Premier League clash, and this one’s at the Cottage. Fulham—solid but inconsistent—take on a Manchester United side desperate to find their rhythm under Rúben Amorim. Both teams have questions hanging over them. Fulham haven’t been great at home recently, while United still haven’t cracked their away-day curse. So, who’s going to get it right on Sunday? Let’s take a look.
Fulham:
Marco Silva doesn’t have too many headaches. The only big absentee is Antonee Robinson, still sidelined after knee surgery. Expect a familiar 4-2-3-1 setup with Jimenez leading the line, supported by Iwobi and Wilson. Sander Berge and Sasa Lukic should anchor midfield.
Manchester United:
This is where things get messy. André Onana is out with a hamstring injury, while Lisandro Martínez faces a long spell out with a cruciate ligament problem. That’s a big blow at both ends of the pitch. Amorim is expected to go with a 3-4-2-1 system: Fernandes and Cunha playing off Sesko, Casemiro keeping it steady in midfield, and De Ligt marshalling the back line.
Likely Lineups
Fulham: Leno; Tete, Andersen, Cuenca, Bassey; Berge, Lukic; Wilson, King, Iwobi; Jimenez
Manchester United: Bayindir; Yoro, De Ligt, Shaw; Dalot, Casemiro, Fernandes, Dorgu; Cunha, Mbeumo; Sesko
Here’s what I think… this game isn’t going to be a goal fest. Fulham rarely keep clean sheets, but they don’t exactly explode in attack either. United’s away form is patchy, and they’ve only scored six in their last six games. That screams “tight” to me.
A couple of angles worth a look:
Fulham have failed to beat United in their last nine home league meetings. History says this fixture usually goes the Red Devils’ way.
I can see this one being a grind. United will keep the ball, Fulham will sit deep, and chances will be limited. The Red Devils haven’t been great away, but Fulham’s leaky defence could give them just enough space to edge it.
Match Prediction: Manchester United to win. Bet with bet365.
Not expecting a goal-fest here. Fulham will have moments, but United’s quality should show over 90 minutes. I’m leaning towards a narrow win.
Correct Score Prediction: Fulham 0-1 Manchester United. Bet with bet365.
The numbers suggest this is unlikely to be a high-scoring clash. In their last six head-to-heads, the two sides have combined for just 11 goals. That’s under two per game. Add in United’s habit of drawing blanks in recent matches, and “under 2.5” looks the smart play.
Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
Here’s a combo I like for this one:
That’s a neat little package if you see United grinding out a tight away win.
Bet Builder Tip: Manchester United to Win, Bruno Fernandes Anytime, Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.
