Fulham vs Manchester United Predictions

• Fulham have only lost one of their last five competitive home games.
• Manchester United have lost three of their five away games this season.

Pressure grows on ten Hag

Manchester United’s crisis deepened in midweek as their defence of the Carabao Cup came to an abrupt end courtesy of a 3-0 thrashing at home to last year’s beaten finalists Newcastle and they could be in for yet more disappointment when they meet Fulham on Saturday.

15 games into the 2023/24 season, the Red Devils are yet to put in a convincing performance and, with the side sitting eighth in the Premier League , third in their Champions League group and out of the Carabao Cup, pressure is growing on Erik ten Hag.

Fulham aim for Craven Cottage success

For Fulham, this marks the perfect chance for them to boost their own standings in the top flight. They sit just three points behind their visitors and come into this game off the back of a 3-1 win over Ipswich in the Carabao Cup.

The Cottagers have lost just one of their last five competitive home games and have won three of those in regulation time, while their downtrodden visitors’ only wins away from home this term have come against the bottom two clubs in the league – Burnley and Sheffield United.

Cottagers can take advantage of visitors’ plight

Neither of those victories were convincing and their other three trips away have all ended in defeat, so backing Fulham in the double chance market is advised.

I suspect the hosts could have what it takes to take all three points, too. They have won three of their last four at home but have just one clean sheet at Craven Cottage this season, while Manchester United have scored in their last four away games, making a 2-1 correct score prediction a compelling option.
