Manchester United vs Fulham Betting Tips - BTTS/Fulham over 1.5 Goals

Manchester United turns their attention to the defense of their FA Cup title after a hard-fought 3:2 win against Ipswich in the Premier League on Wednesday. Despite trailing in the first-half before the dismissal of Danish defender Patrick Dorgu, the Red Devils fought back bravely with Harry Maguire´s second-half goal enough to claim a much-needed win at Old Trafford. 

High-scoring outcomes like those witnessed on Wednesday have been frequent at this venue. United saw BTTS and over 2.5 goals in five of their last six home matches, while an average of 3.6 goals per game scored across their last 20 games at Old Trafford. Defensively vulnerable, Rubin Amorim´s men conceded at least two goals in seven of their last 11 home fixtures, while they kept just one clean sheet. 

Fulham make the trip to Old Trafford in great form after bagging a fourth win in five matches with a 2:1 win at Wolves earlier this week. Rodrigo Muniz´s second-half strike secured a fourth successive road victory for the Cottagers.

Impressive on the road, Fulham claimed wins in each of their last four away fixtures, while they scored two goals or more in all of their seven previous matches on their travels. With the hosts struggling in defence, Silva´s men look a great bet to score two goals or more this weekend.

Currently nine points ahead of United in the EPL, Marco Silva´s side will surely fancy their chances of progression against a vulnerable home side that has struggled to find any kind of consistency this season.

In the end, goals at both ends have to be expected, while I also like Fulham´s chances of scoring at least two goals against the leaky hosts.
