Leg 1: Both Teams to Score – Yes (-152)
Leg 2: Manchester United ML (+125)
Leg 3: Matheus Cunha To Score (+240)
Our in-house data model, BETSiE, projects a match goal total of 2.58xG when Manchester United travels to Fulham. The projected goal total is split 1.26xG for Fulham and 1.33xG for United.
United has transformed its attack with the introduction of Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, and Benjamin Sesko.
Mbeumo recorded five shots against Arsenal last week, while Cunha registered four shots. Despite entering the field in the 65th minute, Sesko still managed to take two attempts at goal.
One of the key factors for backing Manchester United here is their historical dominance over Fulham. In their last five Premier League clashes, the Red Devils walked away victorious on four occasions.
Cunha made the move to Old Trafford after a hugely successful season at Wolves.
He has the technical quality to receive the ball in congested areas and weave his way through the opposition defense. His physical frame also makes him difficult to tackle.
He netted 15 league goals last season, with five of those coming from outside the box. The early signs suggest he will have similar success for United.
Fulham is all too familiar with the threat posed by Cunha. When Wolves travelled to Craven Cottage last season, he scored two and assisted another in a 4-1 win.

Man U vs. Fulham Betting Analysis
Disappointments persist for Manchester United as they entered the new season with a 1-0 loss to Arsenal. Despite dominating the game statistically, they once again failed to score.
An away game at Craven Cottage is no easy task, as can be seen in the Fulham vs Manchester United odds. The Red Devils are the favorites, but are given only a 44.4% chance of victory by the bookmakers.
On the other hand, Fulham needed a stoppage-time goal to rescue a point and will rely on the home game to get the first three points of the new campaign.
The uncertainty surrounding Manchester United's goalkeeping situation could play into the hands of the opposition. With questions over Andre Onana's future at the club and Altay Bayindir's costly mistake leading to Arsenal's goal, the hosts may sense an opportunity.
Fulham have struggled against United in the Premier League, securing just one win in their last 18 meetings—a 2-1 success at Old Trafford during the 2023/24 season.
At Craven Cottage, United have enjoyed a winning streak, triumphing in their last eight league visits and keeping clean sheets in five of those games.
