When Fulham come to Old Trafford for the Premier League match this coming Friday, Manchester United will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

Manchester United vs Fulham Prediction

Manchester United Form

Manchester United look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last 3 matches saw them get two wins and a draw. They ran out 0-2 and 1-2 against Brighton and Manchester City respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Manchester City as the game finished level. The exact score was 1-1. Manchester United won three of their previous six matches at Old Trafford in the Premier League. They drew two and suffered one defeats, scoring 12 goals to eight against.

Manchester United enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

Fulham Form

In their last three matches, Fulham drew 0-0 with Brentford, lost 0-4 against Manchester City and beat Luton 2-4. Fulham claimed two wins against two draws and two defeats in their last six away matches in the Premier League. The scoreline from these matches reads ten goals conceded and 11 scored.

While a title challenge may be a bit of a stretch, Manchester United look a solid bet for a top three finish at the end of the season.

Anything but a home win would be a stunning result, and we back Manchester United not to be stunned, just like we back numerous goals to be scored when they face Fulham.
