- Fulham is a -0.5-goal home favorite against Manchester United.
- Manchester United has won each of its last seven EPL away matches against Fulham.
- My Fulham vs. Manchester United prediction focuses on the pregame over/under.
To bring Matchday 23 of the Premier League to a close, Fulham hosts Manchester United at Craven Cottage.
Marco Silva’s side earned a 2-0 road win at Leicester City last week. It marks the ninth time in the last 10 matches Fulham earned at least a point.
United’s woes continued last week with a 3-1 home defeat to Brighton. Over their last six matches, a 3-1 win over Southampton remains their only outright win.
Check out the Premier League odds and my Fulham vs. Manchester United prediction.

Fulham vs. Manchester United Prediction
Based on the short rest spot for Manchester United and the Red Devils’ expected positive regression, my Fulham vs. Manchester United prediction is Over 2.5 Goals (-130).
The Matchday 1 clash between these teams resulted in a 1-0 United win. However, the underlying metrics suggested a higher goal tally.
United created 2.4 xG and 2.07 post-shot xG against Fulham, who failed to score off 0.92 post-shot xG.
That should fall off a touch with United playing away from home. However, the fact remains they’re a major positive regression candidate offensively.
This season, United have scored 27 goals off 32.5 expected and 28.1 post-shot xG, per fbref.com.
The issue? United’s defense leaves much to be desired. Entering Sunday’s fixture, Ruben Amorim leads a team ranking 13th in xGA and 12th in post-shot xGA.
While Fulham has proven a relatively inconsistent attack this season, they should succeed against a bad United defense playing on short rest.
Fulham has also proven an over machine at Craven Cottage since rejoining the Premier League in 2022.
Over that span, the Cottagers posted a 31-16-2 record to the over at home, including 8-3 this season.
The kicker? When Fulham played their last game, and it finished under the total, they’re 14-6 to the over in their next match, including 5-0 this season.
As a result, back a high-scoring match on Sunday in London.
