Fulham - Manchester United match score prediction: Red Devils' counterattack

(NLDO) - Both Fulham and Manchester United are aiming for an early season win. Experts are predicting a draw, but the surprise could come from the Red Devils.

Lisandro Martinez (right, Manchester United) vies for the ball with a Fulham striker.

Tonight's match, August 24th, could test the quality of Manchester United's summer signings, with manager Ruben Amorim hoping for the individual attacking prowess of Bryan Mbeumo, Benjamin Sesko, and Matheus Cunha in their counter-attacking style of play away from home.

Manchester United and the bright spot in their defeat to Arsenal.

Fulham showed character in their season opener, scoring a late equalizer to secure a point against Brighton. Rodrigo Muniz is working to earn a starting spot after helping the London club avoid defeat at the Amex Stadium, while the home side have no further injury concerns.

Conversely, Manchester United lost 1-0 to Arsenal in their Premier League campaign opener, but it's worth noting that they dominated the game. New signings Mbeumo, Sesko, and Cunha will help improve the Old Trafford side's performance, and if Fulham are a good fit for them, an away win is a worthwhile consideration. Both Noussair Mazraoui and Lisandro Martinez are absent due to injury.

The possibility of Bruno Fernandes leaving Manchester United for Saudi Arabia is becoming a reality, which further encourages Amorim to shift towards a counter-attacking style of play. The Red Devils may no longer be as strong in their pressing style, but they will be very dangerous when playing pragmatic counter-attacking football.

However, most experts favored a draw. Chris Sutton and Alan Shearer both predicted a 1-1 result, while Gary Linerker wrote: "I think we're all wondering what Man Utd will be like this season. Fulham have been a fairly consistent mid-table side for the last few years. I predict 1-1."

Prediction: Fulham - Manchester Utd 1-2

Are Manchester United's "premium" brands trustworthy?

The odds for the match started with Manchester United being given a half-goal handicap. However, the market is now slightly favoring the favorite, causing the odds to shift from Fulham winning to losing at 90%, then to losing at 85%. When not many people have faith in the Red Devils, that's when we should choose them. It's better to bet on a big name than on an unknown team like Fulham.

The most favored score is 1-1 with odds of 7.1, while 0-0 has odds of 14, and 2-2 has odds of 13. Manchester United's chances of winning are also considered slightly higher, with 2-1 at 8.8, 1-0 at 9.2, and 2-0 at 12. Fulham's chances of winning are not rated highly, with 2-1 at 10, 1-0 at 11, and 2-0 at 17.
