Manchester United hosts Fulham in Sunday’s Premier League highlight.
The match sets a tricky task for United, which won’t want to drop any points against Fulham as it looks to stay ahead of Chelsea at the top of the Premier League table.
Manchester United vs. Fulham Trends Analysis
Fulham and Manchester United have met ten times in the past five seasons. Man United won eight of these matches while Fulham claimed the spoils on just two occasions. Fulham has achieved its best results against United at home, losing three and winning two of its matches at Craven Cottage.
It is worth noting that matches between United and Fulham have tended to be high-scoring affairs with only one match in the last five years producing less than three goals.
Fulham has taken three draws and two wins from its last five matches, with a Europa League result from its match against Juventus still pending.
Fulham’s away record has been poor in recent months. The club has taken just two wins from its last twenty home matches, losing half of these fixtures. The Fulham attack is scoring under a goal a game away from home, while leaky defence is letting in over 1.5 goals per game.
Manchester United comes into Sunday’s game with four wins from five matches. The Red Devils appear to have hit top gear as the season heads to a climax, and will be on a high after a 4-0 thrashing of AC Milan on Wednesday.
United has lost just one Premier League match at home this season, and a total of three in all competition since August of 2009. The United attack is putting goals away at a rate of almost 3 a game at Old Trafford this season while home defence is superb, hovering around 0.5 goals conceded per home game.
Man United vs. Fulham Betting Tip
Man United is priced very low for Sunday’s match with a best price of 1/4 at Canbet. Fulham is trading as high as 18/1 at Betfair and the draw is 5/1 at Bet365.
There’s no doubt that United should win this, however Fulham is priced far too high for this match considering the fact that it has won its last two matches against the Red Devils. United is priced too low to offer value on a back bet, while Fulham will incur a prohibitive liability on a lay bet.
We’ll therefore sit on the fence for this one and instead put our money on the over/under goals market. Given that nine out of the last ten games have produced three or more goals, we’re happy to take the 5/6 on offer for over 2.75 goals at Ladbrokes for our bet on this match.
