Manchester United vs Fulham Match Prediction

Manchester United ended last season on a major note by winning the FA Cup. The 2-1 victory over Manchester City in the final was a real celebration for the fans. In the EPL, the team demonstrated attacking football, winning several bright victories, although there were occasional misfires.

Fulham had a good season in the Premier League, managing to secure themselves from the fight for survival. “Dacians” showed a sympathetic game and scored some impressive victories, especially over Luton Town (4:2) and Tottenham (3:0). However, Fulham had problems in the matches with the grandees, which is seen in the defeats to Man City (0:4) and Liverpool (1-3).

The history of head-to-head confrontations speaks about the colossal superiority of MU. “Red Devils” have won 56 of 91 matches against only 15 at Fulham. In the last 10 meetings, MJ has won 7 victories with only 1 success of the “dachshunds”. Manchester United have also hit the opposition’s goal much more often, scoring an average of 2 goals per game.

Given these factors, the most likely outcome of the match is a confident victory for Manchester United with a 2-3 goal difference. “Red Devils” will try to take control of the ball from the first minutes, and their skill should lead to a comfortable victory. Fulham will try but are unlikely to be able to counter the attacking power of the hosts.

Recent official meetings

Manchester United

Manchester United ended the 2023/24 season on a major note by winning the FA Cup. In their last ten matches, the Red Devils won five, lost two and drew three times.

Undoubtedly, the main triumph for Erik ten Hague’s team was the victory in the FA Cup final over the principal rival – Manchester City. Manchester United showed character and will to win, managing to turn the tide of the match and snatch the trophy from the “citizens” with a score of 2:1. This victory was a real celebration for the fans of the Red Devils.

In the Premier League, Manchester United also showed decent results. Victories over Brighton (2-0), Newcastle (3-2) and Sheffield United (4-2) showed the attacking potential of the team and its ability to succeed in key matches. However, there were also offensive defeats to Arsenal (0:1) and Crystal Palace (0:4).

Draws against Burnley (1-1), Bournemouth (2-2) and Liverpool (2-2) can also be credited to Manchester United.

The dramatic victory over Coventry City in the FA Cup semi-final deserves special mention. The match’s main time ended 3-3, and the fate of the ticket to the final was decided in a penalty shootout. Manchester United showed coolness and precision, winning 4-3 and progressing to the decisive match of the tournament.

Fulham

The main successes that Mark Silva’s team had come through their convincing victories over Luton Town (4-2) in the final round and Tottenham (3-0) in mid-March. In these matches, Fulham showed attacking football, scoring a total of seven goals. Moreover, it is worth noting the important victory over West Ham (2:0) away, which allowed the “cottagers” to secure a comfortable position in the middle of the standings.

However, it was not without its disappointments. Major defeats to Manchester City (0:4) and Liverpool (1:3) showed that Fulham still have room to grow in terms of playing against top Premier League clubs. It was equally as painful to experience defeats to Newcastle (0:1) and Nottingham Forest (1-3), in which the “cottagers” failed to realise their chances and punish the opponent for mistakes in defence.

The draws that came against Brentford (0:0), Crystal Palace (1:1) and Sheffield United (3:3) can be assessed in different ways. On the one hand, Fulham managed to take points away from the strong mid-table Premier League. On the other hand, the team missed the opportunity to win in these meetings and improve their league position.
