Fulham vs Manchester United Prediction: Premier League Betting Picks & Odds
Fulham vs Manchester United Predictions
Manchester United will look to put their recent Premier League troubles behind them in their clash on the road to Fulham on Sunday (2pm ET, Fubo)
United took another step back in their last EPL outing, suffering a 3-1 loss at the hands of Brighton on home turf, days removed from needing a late Amad Diallo hat-trick to avoid a defeat to bottom-of-the-table Southampton.
Ruben Amorim laid into his team after the defeat to the Seagulls, suggesting that this United side are one of the worst in the history of the club. The Red Devils did respond with victory over Rangers in the Europa League on Thursday, but it was far from straightforward.
They face another challenge against a Fulham team that has lost just once in their last 10 EPL matches. Marco Silva’s men are sitting comfortably in mid-table, but will be looking at the potential of turning draws into wins to push for a European spot.
The Cottagers are favourites on betting sites to extend their unbeaten run, while a United win is priced up at +225, highlighting their issues this season.
Fulham vs Manchester United Picks: Score draw at Craven Cottage
Although Fulham’s unbeaten run is impressive, Silva’s side have had difficulty turning draws into wins, especially at home. The Cottagers have drawn four-straight matches at Craven Cottage, which has prevented them from rising further up the standings.
Their last victory at home came on December 5 against Brighton, so they will be eager to end their run of stalemates.
Part of the issue has been their leaky defence, shipping two goals apiece against Bournemouth and Ipswich. Indeed, Fulham have only kept one clean sheet at home this season, which came against Southampton before Christmas.
Coincidentally, the clash against the Saints is the only game where they’ve failed to find the net at Craven Cottage this term.
Raul Jimenez, Alex Iwobi and Harry Wilson are all effective in the final third, and can expose a poor United backline. The Red Devils themselves have not had a road shutout since Amorim’s arrival.
United have been better on their travels at finding the net, scoring twice against Liverpool and Manchester City. Although the mood is doom and gloom around the club now, we like the odds on soccer betting sites for them to score on the road and earn a share of the points.

Fulham vs Manchester United Picks: Robinson threat from the back
Antonee Robinson has caught the eye of a number of elite clubs across Europe following his performances for Fulham this season.
The USA international has been extremely effective raiding down the left flank for the Cottagers, contributing nine assists in the EPL this term; only Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka have more.
Robinson has useful targets in the final third to expose the United defence, with Jimenez and Rodrigo Muniz aiming to capitalise. Amad will likely be in place at right-wing back, so Robinson could have ample space to thrive.
Odds of +460 are available through betting apps for the USA international to notch another assist for the Cottagers to take him to double figures for the campaign.
