Manchester Utd vs Fulham Prediction & Betting Tips (24 February)

Despite a high-quality squad and legitimate ambitions, Manchester United is not meeting expectations this season. However, 6th in the Premier League with 5 points behind 4th place, the Red Devils can still hope to qualify for the next Champions League. They have shown a real return to form in recent weeks, which has allowed them to get closer to the Big 4. Thus, Bruno Fernandes' teammates have not lost any of their last 5 championship matches. After holding off Tottenham 2-2, they in turn won against Wolverhampton 3-4, West Ham 3-0, Aston Villa 1-2 and Luton last weekend 1-2. In the round of 16 of the FA Cup, Manchester United travel to Nottingham Forest on Wednesday.

Comfortably installed in the soft underbelly of the standings, Fulham is currently 12th in the Premier League and has a rather comfortable lead of 9 points over the first relegation zone. However, the Cottagers have been progressing slowly for several weeks, as evidenced by the only 2 wins acquired over the last 9 days, for 2 draws and 5 defeats. They recently performed well by beating Bournemouth 3-1. Last weekend, however, Fulham lost at home to Aston Villa 1-2. Note that the London team is eliminated from the two National Cups.

The Manchester United coach still deplores the withdrawals of starting defenders Lisandro Martinez and Wan-Bissaka. We also find midfielder Mount as well as substitutes Malacia and Martial in the infirmary. Very disappointing during the first half of the season, Danish striker Höjlund (7 goals and 2 assists in PL) now seems well adapted to the demands of English football. He has scored 7 goals in the last 6 matches played in all competitions, but has just been injured and will be unavailable for the next 2 or 3 weeks.

Left back Shaw has also joined the infirmary. On the other hand, we should find Bruno Fernandes (3 goals and 5 assists in PL), Garnacho (5 goals and 3 assists in PL) and Rashford (5 goals and 2 assists in PL). During the winter transfer window, the undesirable van de Beek (Frankfurt) and Sancho (Dortmund) were loaned, as were midfielder Mejbri (Sevilla FC) as well as wingers Pellistri (Granada) and Carreras (Benfica).
