Manchester United head to Craven Cottage on Sunday looking to bounce back after their narrow opening defeat to Arsenal, while Fulham will be aiming to improve a poor home record.
United strong at Craven Cottage
United’s recent history in west London makes encouraging reading for Ruben Amorim’s side. The Red Devils have won on each of their last eight visits to Fulham, and they are evens (2.00) to win again here with Bet365.
Despite losing to Arsenal last weekend, United showed better shape and attacking movement, with new signings Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbuemo lively throughout. Fulham, meanwhile, struggled to a 1-1 draw at Brighton and still look vulnerable at the back, losing five of their last eight home Premier League fixtures. United’s record at the Cottage suggests they can take all three points.
Cunha can be the difference
Matheus Cunha could be key to United’s chances. The Brazilian looked sharp against Arsenal and has a fine personal record at Fulham, scoring three goals on his last two visits with Wolves. He is 15/8 (2.87) to score anytime with Bet365, which looks a strong option given his knack for producing at this ground.
Goals could be limited
Fulham have lacked attacking edge at Craven Cottage and United still look short of clinical finishing. All three of United’s competitive games this season have featured under 2.5 goals, and Fulham rarely blow sides away either. That makes under 2.5 goals at 5/6 (1.83) with Bet365 a value play.
The probability supports this price: five of Fulham’s last six at home went under 2.5, as did United’s trip here last season. Given both sides’ issues in front of goal, this market makes strong sense statistically.
Correct Score Prediction
United to edge another tight encounter looks the most likely outcome, and a 1-0 away win is worth considering in the correct score market.
