Manchester United vs Fulham Prediction and Betting Tips | 2nd March 2025

Manchester United will resume their pursuit for consecutive FA Cup triumphs on Sunday afternoon when they square off against Fulham at Old Trafford. Ruben Amorim's men beat Leicester City in the fourth round while the Cottagers got the better of Wigan Athletic.

United's victory over the Foxes in the fourth round was mired in controversy. The linesman failed to note that Harry Maguire and quite a few of his teammates were offside when he headed home from a free-kick in the dying embers of the game.

With no VAR available, Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy and his men had no option but go home with a bitter pill to swallow. Manchester United's form continues to be poor and are currently 14th in the Premier League table after climbing up a spot after beating Ipswich Town 3-2 in midweek.

Meanwhile, having won each of their last four away games in all competitions, Fulham will fancy their chances against Manchester United who have done poorly at Old Trafford this term. They head to Old Trafford on Sunday on the back of a 2-1 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in midweek.

Marco Silva's men are vying for a berth in Europe this season. They are ninth in the league table but only five points separate them and fourth-placed Manchester City at present.

Fulham have also not had any trouble scoring goals of late, having found the back of the net twice in seven of their last eight matches across all competitions. Interestingly though, the only exception was the game against Manchester United where they got beaten 1-0.

Manchester United vs Fulham Prediction

Fulham's goalscoring form will worry United on Sunday. Their leaky defence which has been made thinner owing to Patrick Dorgu's suspension and Amorim's men are unlikely to kick their self-harming habits right away. The Cottagers have also looked comfortable away from home in recent weeks.

Fulham should be able to get a narrow victory here and send the defeding champions packing.

Prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Fulham
