-Manchester United’s recent form and recent player performance

-A summary that ties it all together and produces a favorable betting outcome for today’s game between Manchester United and Fulham. 

Manchester United Betting Preview

Manchester United has high expectations for this season, and they are coming off a close loss against their rival Manchester City in the FA Community Shield Final. Alejandro Garancho scored in the 82nd minute, and it looked like Man United could be in good shape to secure the win. In the 89th minute, though, the defense gave up a goal, and they ended up losing 7-6 on penalty kicks. Manchester United had only two shots on goal the entire game. Manchester United’s offense looks good, but the big question is surrounding the defense. Matthijs de Ligt and Noussair Mazraoui are both here and could play a role in this game. Leny Yoro was hurt during preseason training and is going to be out for a couple of months. Harry Maguire did play the last game, but he isn’t to full fitness yet, and might not play an entire game here. 

Fulham Betting Preview

On the other side of this matchup is Fulham, who also feel like they can have a strong season, but know this is going to be a tough test on the road. Fulham has gone 1-1 over the last two games, but the win did come in their last game. Last Saturday, Fulham faced off against Hoffenheim, and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Rodrigo Muniz looks to be the star of the show, and they are going to need him to have a huge game here. Emile Smith Rowe was signed this offseason and is expected to play here. Fulham needs him to be good this year. 

Manchester United vs Fulham Betting Prediction

The Premier League is going to get out to a high scoring start with plenty of goals to go around. This Man United defense has so many injury concerns and those are going to quickly to be an issue here. Fulham is going to find some offensive success early. I do expect Manchester United to also find the offensive success early also, and this game is going to end up over the total. Back the over to cash.
