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

Back in the elite in 2022, Fulham impressed by carrying out very serene maintenance. The London club is not far from European places, but it still lacks a little something to cross the landing. 11th of the Premier League last season. They aim to continue their progress this season, even if the main objective remains to secure their status in PL. Fulham experienced a very successful preparation. The Londoners won their 3 friendly meetings, against Nottingham 3-1, Al-Ittihad 4-2 and Eintracht Frankfurt 1-0. During the first day, Fulham snatched a miraculous draw in the last minutes on the field of Brighton 1-1 . Malgré of substantial financial means, Manchester United continues to disappoint. Last year, the Mancunian club even sank by finishing at a disappointing 15th place in the Premier League with only 42 points in 38 games.

The Red Devils had a great opportunity to save their season by winning the Europa League. Unfortunately for them, after a dominated but bland finish, they bowed against Tottenham 0-1. The arrival of Ruben Amorim on the bench did not produce the expected effect, but the Portuguese coach remains in office to print his brand. Manchester United must therefore be rebuilt and will benefit from the absence of a European Cup, a first since 2014/2015. Apart from its inaugural defeat against a selection of ASEAN, Man U managed its preparation. After a draw against Leeds 0-0 and victories against West Ham 2-1 and Bournemouth 4-1, the club recorded two draws against Everton 2-2 and La Fiorentina 1-1, victory with penalties. Despite a clear domination, the Red Devils failed to reverse the trend against Arsenal on the first day of the 0-1 defeat championship. 

Little stirring during the summer transfer window, Fulham chose to bet on stability. The only reinforcement is the Montpellier goalkeeper Lecomte, recruited as a lining, while the team saw the Brazilians Willian (free) and Carlos Vinicius (Gremio) leave. It should also be noted the end of loan of the Nelson winger as well as the departure of the Tom Cairney community, emblematic captain present for almost ten years. The pillars of the past season are still there. We find goalkeeper Leno, defenders Andersen and Bassey, Lukic, Berge and Andreas Pereira circles, without forgetting the offensive Iwobi (9 goals, 6 PL passes) and Raul Jimenez (12 goals, 3 PL passes). On the other hand, the left side Robinson remains forfeited for this Sunday and the uncertain Sessegnon (4 goals in 16 games) could miss again. Last weekend, it was the Supersub Rodrigo Muniz who had torn the equalization against Brighton. During the offseason, Manchester United saw the defender Lindelöf (without club) and the Eriksen (without club), both at the end of the contract, as well as the veteran Evans, retired. In addition, loaned to Aston Villa in January, the Rashford spam chose to join Barcelona.

The offensive sector has been deeply renewed with the expensive recruits of Šeško (Leipzig), Matheus Cunha (Wolverhampton) and Mbeumo (Brentford), while Antony makes his return after a successful loan to Betis. We also note the signature of the young left side Paraguayen Diego Leon (Cerro Porteño). Cunha and Mbeumo are called upon to compete with the disappointing scorers Zirkzee (3 goals in PL last season) and Højlund (4 goals in PL last season). Captain Bruno Fernandes (8 goals and 10 PL passes last season) was one of the few Red Devils to show up. The winger Diallo (8 goals and 6 passes in PL last season) and the French defender Yoro should see their role increasing. Frequently injured last year, defenders Mazraoui and Lisandro Martínez are still missing this Sunday, while Højlund and Onana should also be absent. The probable compositions for Fulham - Manchester United: Fulham: Leno - Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Cuenca - Berge, Lukic - Wilson, King, Jimenez.Manchester United: Bayindir - Yoro, de Ligt, Shaw - Dalot, Casemiro , Fernandes, Dorgu - Mbeumo, Sesko, Cunha.
