Manchester United vs Fulham betting preview
It’s so far, so good in 2024 for Manchester United.
Improved form on the pitch – most notably from Rasmus Hojlund - has come alongside the takeover, at least in terms of football side of the club, by Sir Jim Ratcliffe.
For too long, United have never seemed far away from a crisis but there does finally appear to be some stability and if things continue in the current manner, a place in next season’s Champions League should be secured.
Whether they are truly the punter’s friend yet is open to question, though.
Yes, they are winning games but not particularly convincingly – they could have had no complaints had Luton grabbed something from last weekend’s match giving the Hatters had several periods where they piled the pressure on what is a makeshift defence.
Lisandro Martinez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka have been joined on the sidelines by Luke Shaw and Fulham boss Marco Silva will have seen how the stand-ins struggled at times at Kenilworth Road.
The problem is, Fulham have been pretty rancid on the road. Their last away win came on the opening day in August at Everton – and even that day they were largely outplayed with only the hosts’ inability to finish allowed them to leave with any points, never mind all three. Only Sheffield United have won fewer points on their travels.
At least new signing Rodrigo Muniz has settled in well, scoring in his last three games, and with United having conceded in seven of their last nine, Fulham will have some hope.
The hosts should get the job done but perhaps the best way to go from a betting perspective is to back them to do so while conceding.
Manchester United vs Fulham key stats
- Manchester United are unbeaten in 2024, winning seven of their eight games in all competitions.
- In contrast, Fulham have won just one of their last eight, while they have just one away victory in the Premier League this season – that came at Everton on the opening day.
- The last 16 meetings of the sides have seen 13 United wins and three draws. Fulham’s last victory came in 2009.
- Rasmus Hojlund has scored in his last six United appearances, while Rodrigo Muniz has four goals in his last three for Fulham.
- Luke Shaw is back in the United treatment room. With Aaron Wan-Bissaka also out, Victor Lindelof is expected to move into a full-back position. For Fulham, Willian is a fitness doubt but Armando Broja is available again after illness.
Manchester United vs Fulham best bets
Our best bets for Manchester United vs Fulham are below. The odds we use are from the best sportsbooks per our expert reviews. Odds in the bettings tips are also subject to change.
Man Utd to win and both teams to score
These are two sides in contrasting form with United on a roll and Fulham on the slide.
While backing United at s short price still lacks appeal, backing them at 7/4 to win while conceding looks worth a go.
The both-teams-to-score bet has landed in seven of United’s last nine games and with Rodrigo Muniz’s confidence up after a good run, Fulham look capable of troubling what remains a makeshift defence. Luton certainly did last week.
⚽ Back United to win and BTTS at 7/4 with Spreadex ⚽
Alejandro Garnacho 4+ shots
Garnacho loves a shot and after hitting eight of them at Luton last week, he’s taken 14 in his last two games.
He’s landed this particular bet in six of his last 10 appearances so getting 12/5 simply looks too big.
Fulham are pretty much where you’d expect them to be when it comes to the shots-conceded table so back the Argentine at this nice price.
⚽ Back Garnacho 4+ shots at 12/5 with bet365 ⚽
Rasmus Hojlund anytime scorer
Hojlund became the youngest player to score in six successive Premier League games when he netted (twice) at Kenilworth Road last weekend.
Despite his hot streak and the fact that Fulham are conceding 2.17 goals per away game this season, the Dane remains odds-against to net in this one and, again, that looks chunky.
Confidence is clearly sky high right now and he should get chances to add to his tally at Old Trafford.
⚽ Back Hojlund to score at any time at 57/50 with BetUK ⚽
