Manchester United vs Fulham prediction 24.02.2024

• Competition: Premier League
• Date: Saturday, 24th February 2024
• Kickoff: 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
• Venue: Old Trafford (Manchester)

Numerous football pundits foresaw Erik ten Hag rectifying the issues plaguing Manchester United. The previous year, the team secured the 3rd place in the Premier League, emerged victorious in the Carabao Cup, and were the runners-up in the FA Cup. Despite the promising outlook, the team’s performance at the start of the current season was underwhelming, especially in the UCL where they landed 4th in a fairly weak group. Nevertheless, the recent performances of the Red Devils have shown improvement and they now stand 6th in the Premier League, a mere four points shy of the coveted 4th position and a spot in the Champions League.

The previous year saw Fulham’s return to the English premier division where they performed impressively, securing a 10th place finish closer to the European qualification than the relegation zone. This year, the Cottagers seem to be maintaining a mid-table position. Currently, they are nine points clear of the relegation zone, despite having played one game less, indicating a better position than the lower-ranking teams. However, Fulham’s recent form leaves much to be desired, presenting a cause for concern.

Manchester United vs Fulham pick: Manchester United to win and cover the -1 AH spread

Manchester United is displaying outstanding performance, boasting five consecutive wins and remaining unbeaten in their last seven matches across all competitions. Although the Red Devils struggled offensively for much of the season, this is no longer the situation. They have consistently scored two or more goals in their last seven games, with their strikers and wingers regularly finding the back of the net.

Fulham’s strong position in the league table primarily comes from their home game performance. However, their away record is appalling, making them the second-worst team in that aspect. The Cottagers are also struggling with poor form, having secured just one victory in their last eight games, which makes it unlikely for them to yield a positive outcome against the in-form MU.

In the season’s initial head-to-head game, Manchester United triumphed with a 1:0 victory at Craven Cottage. They also emerged victorious in prior head-to-head matches. Given their outstanding performance in past matches, along with Fulham’s poor away record, we firmly believe that the Red Devils will easily secure a home win.
