Manchester United are the favorites to win against Fulham in their upcoming Premier League match, according to Opta’s supercomputer. United, who are looking to bounce back from two consecutive defeats, have a 41.5% chance of victory, while Fulham have a 29.4% chance.
United’s recent form has been poor, with five defeats in their opening 10 league games. They were thrashed 3-0 by Manchester City last weekend and suffered a similarly disappointing loss to Newcastle United in the EFL Cup. The pressure is mounting on manager Erik ten Hag, who is facing criticism for his team’s poor performances.
In contrast, Fulham have had a decent start to the season, with three wins and three draws in their first 10 games. They have struggled against the top teams, losing to Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham, but have generally performed well against the lower-ranked sides. Fulham’s defense has been strong, with a low number of shots faced but a high number of shots on target faced.
Manchester United will be looking to improve their attacking performance, as they have scored fewer goals than any other team in the top half of the table. Their forwards have contributed just two goals, both from Marcus Rashford. Midfielder Scott McTominay is United‘s top scorer with three goals, while summer signing Antony has struggled to find the net.
In terms of head-to-head record, United have won their last six Premier League away games against Fulham. Fulham’s last win against United came in 2009, and they have lost 12 of their last 15 matches against them.
Overall, the Opta supercomputer predicts that Manchester United will come away with a victory, but there is a reasonable chance of a draw. United will need to improve their attacking performance if they want to secure all three points.
