Another promising season for Manchester United
Manchester United had two amazing seasons under Erik ten Hag. There was a lot of criticism in the Dutchman’s debut year at the club, but in the end, his team finished in third place, reached the FA Cup final, and won the League Cup.
It seemed that in the second year the results should have been even better, but in the Premier League they took only eighth place, but again replenished their trophy collection, winning the FA Cup, and in the decisive game they beat Manchester City 2:1. Probably, this triumph helped the mentor retain his post as head coach. Follow accurate football predictions for the next United games.
In the summer, the “red-blacks” have already held three friendly matches, in which they lost to Rosenborg and Arsenal 0:1 and 1:2, respectively, but beat Rangers – 2:0. Given the difference in class and ambitions of the teams, Manchester United is the favorite of the meeting. The Red Devils have a stronger squad and play at home, which gives them an additional advantage. However, Fulham should not be underestimated – the team is capable of springing a surprise.
Does Fulham stand a chance?
Fulham, in turn, will try to put up a fight with a famous opponent. Marco Silva’s team managed to keep their place in the Premier League last season, showing good football. However, the “cottagers” will have a hard time in the match against Manchester United. The key task for Fulham will be to ensure a reliable game in defense and find chances for counterattacks.
Despite the status of an outsider, Fulham has a chance to surprise Manchester United in the upcoming match. Last season, the “cottagers” showed that they are capable of putting up a fight with the giants, winning over Liverpool (2:1) and Chelsea (2:1) and also drawing with Arsenal (1:1). Regardless of the outcome, the match promises to be interesting and exciting.
For Manchester United, this is an opportunity to successfully start the season and declare their championship ambitions, and for Fulham, it is a chance to prove themselves and score points in a difficult away match.
Match Prediction
Don’t expect an outrageous goal-scoring activity from the upcoming confrontation. Manchester United has been acting not so weakly in defense lately, and therefore in the five previous meetings with the participation of the “devils,” there were only 11 goals scored (2.20 on average per game) – a very mediocre indicator.
Match Prediction: Manchester United win with a difference of 1-2 goals. The probable score is 2:0 or 2:1 in favor of the hosts. However, a more stubborn match is not excluded if Fulham manages to competently build defensive redoubts and use their moments in attack.
