Fulham vs Man United: Betting Insights, Preview, and Predictions

Can Fulham Break the Curse? The Cottagers are up against a struggling Man United team, winless in their last six league games.

Fresh off a solid 2-0 win over Leicester City, Fulham is looking to snag back-to-back Premier League victories for the first time since November as they take on Manchester United at Craven Cottage. Marco Silva’s squad has been a bit inconsistent, which has put a damper on their European dreams, and history isn’t in their favor, with just one win in the last 18 Premier League matchups.

Even with their ups and downs, Fulham has been tough to beat at home, going unbeaten in their last five league games at Craven Cottage. Still, they need to turn those draws into wins (they’ve had four straight home draws), and they’ll want to avoid setting a record of five consecutive Premier League home draws while trying to take advantage of Manchester United’s weaknesses.

United comes into this match after a thrilling 2-1 Europa League win over Rangers, thanks to a last-minute goal from Bruno Fernandes. That victory marked three wins in four matches across all competitions, but they’re still struggling in the Premier League. A 3-1 loss to Brighton last weekend has cranked up the pressure on head coach Ruben Amorim, whose team has lost six of their last nine league games.

There are also rumors about Alejandro Garnacho possibly leaving to help balance the club’s finances, adding to the distractions for United. On the pitch, they’ve conceded first in eight of their last nine league matches. However, their impressive record at Craven Cottage – seven straight league wins – gives them a glimmer of hope for a turnaround.

Players to Watch

Fulham’s Saša Lukić is on the verge of an unwanted milestone, needing just one more yellow card to hit ten for the season – a feat only two other Fulham players have achieved in Premier League history. Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes, riding high from his Europa League heroics, has four career goals against Fulham and was the match-winner in this fixture last season.
