Fulham vs Manchester United — Tips & Analysis

Under 3.25: United's away games keep ending up tight. They have tied three of their six away games, with two wins and one loss, and they score just over a goal a game on those trips. Fulham tell the same story from the other side. They score just over a goal a game and let in just over a goal a game, and their games average just over 2 goals in total. Fulham also make far more chances than they take, so plenty of their better nights still end with one goal. United arrive short handed. They are without de Ligt, Ugarte, Diallo and Heaton, and Baleba and Shaw are both doubtful. They have also had only four days since a 2-3 home cup loss to Brighton. A patched up side on four days' rest rarely throws itself into an open game. The last 20 meetings between these two have averaged almost 3 goals, so the history here is not wild either. A 1-1 is the likeliest score, and a game like that sits nicely for us. The risk is United's own habit. They have had 3 or more goals in 10 of their last 14 games, so they can turn a flat night into a busy one. Fulham are better at home too, where they have won four of seven. We still think this one stays tight and low scoring.
