For the Fulham vs Man United match prediction, we believe the final score will be a 2-1 win for Fulham based on our analysis.
The hosts have had longer to prepare for this fixture thanks to not being involved in European competition, while they look well equipped to overcome the challenge of what can only be described as a poor United side.

Fulham vs Man United head-to-head statistics
When the teams met back at the very start of the 2024/25 Premier League season, Man United won in narrow and dramatic fashion, with summer signing Joshua Zirkzee scoring the only goal of the game in the 87th minute. When the teams last met at Craven Cottage, United were also single-goal winners, again thanks to a goal in the dying moments.
Fulham vs Man United preview
This match will be played on 26/01/2025 at Craven Cottage. Kick off will be at 19:00 GMT.
After suffering what was a disappointing defeat away against fellow Londoners West Ham, the Cottagers bounced back at the first time of asking, beating Leicester away from home last time out.
That win at King Power Stadium should mean that Marco Silva’s men, who are only five points shy of the top six, come into this game feeling confident. Let’s face it, they’ve picked up no shortage of promising results at home this season, while they’ll also be buoyed by the fact that their opponents continue to struggle, especially at the back.
The Red Devils were unable to use their comeback win against the Saints as a platform from which to build last weekend, losing at home to Brighton, conceding three goals in the process. Not for the first time this season, United found it very difficult to contain their opponents, while guarding against the break is clearly not something they’ve grasped.
Amorim’s men played in the Europa League (Thursday), a home game against Rangers, and as qualification to the knockouts wasn’t fully guaranteed, they couldn’t rest everyone for the 2-1 win. Lisandro Martinez, Leny Yoro, Diogo Dalot, Amad Diallo and Bruno Fernandes all started.
Fulham vs Man United betting tips
Just one bet stands out as Fulham vs Man United serves as the final course on Sunday’s Premier League menu.
Fulham to Score Over 1.5 Goals
Given that we’re talking about a Fulham team that has scored regular goals all season long, notching two or more in each of their last six games, the early market seems to have generously priced this.
We know that Silva’s men can cause teams lots of problems at Craven Cottage, as both the Tractor Boys and the Cherries recently found out.
Even against very useful opposition, such as Brighton and Newcastle, the Cottagers have scored multiple goals at home this term, notching an average of 1.63 goals per home game, which is respectable.
Let’s face it, the visitors have also done no short of job of keeping things tight, even since Amorim took charge back in late November. In fact, since the Portuguese manager started steering the ship, the Red Devils have conceded two or more goals in no fewer than nine games (in all competitions).
On the road, we’ve recently seen United surrender two or more goals against the likes of Wolves and Spurs, while in the league in general this season, they are comfortably in the bottom half for both goals conceded and expected goals conceded per 90 minutes.
If we factor in that several of the United first-teamers played on Thursday night, then this game really can be classed as a slightly better opportunity for the hosts to thrive offensively than the early odds suggest.
