Premier League, Friday, 16.08.2024 at 21:00
The motherland of soccer and its premium product opens its doors again this week. At last! Anyway, I’ve already jumped on the hype train.
The new Premier League season kicks off on Friday evening with the Red Devils and the Cottagers. A game that was close both times in the previous season.
Will it be a close one this time too? My Manchester United Fulham betting tip gives you the answers
At least they have shown courage. Last weekend, they had their first dress rehearsal for the new season.
Coach Erik ten Hag’s team took on local rivals ManCity in the Community Shield. They took the lead shortly before the end through Garnacho, only to concede the equalizer shortly afterwards.
Now it’s not a shame that they lost on penalties. But a defeat against the Skyblues is always annoying.
Now at least the good performance should be taken into the new season. The Red Devils start with a home game for the tenth time in the last eleven years
Speaking of home games: Old Trafford has rarely been a place where visiting teams have been able to snatch points.
In pre-season, however, there were six defeats at the Theater of Dreams. The most recent two were against the Cottagers and Arsenal.
London teams have never won three away games in a row since the late 1980s.
If the top bookmakers at Happybet have their way, this streak is unlikely to be broken. For the Manchester United Fulham betting tip, the hosts are seen as the clear favorites
But if this impression is not misleading. Because if you ask me, the Lilywhites are by no means the underdogs here with no chance of scoring.
On the one hand, they were in very good form at the end of last season and won two of their final three games (1U).
“What do I care about the past?” you might be thinking. Well, the Londoners are also real experts when it comes to opening games
Of their last nine games in the PL opener, they’ve only lost two (4S, 3U), keeping six clean sheets in that period.
This is not the only reason why I recommend you take a look at the Bet365 sports betting app for your Manchester United Fulham betting tip.
There you will find odds of just over 2.30 if the Londoners once again don’t concede a defeat at the start
The fact that matches between these clubs have often been dominated by the away teams speaks for a surprise for the Cottagers.
Three of the last four meetings have been won by the visiting team, with each victory coming in the 90th minute or later
Will there be another late goal this time? If a goal is scored in the final quarter of an hour, you will find odds of around 1.80 for your Manchester United Fulham bet at Betway Sportwetten.
But I think we can generally look forward to goals. After all, an average of 3.6 goals have been scored in the last seven opening games
So everything is set. For many players, a new season is always a chance to prove themselves anew. This is also the case for new signing Emile Smith Rowe.
The ex-Gunner scored for the north Londoners in his last starting appearance at Old Trafford. He could contribute to the expected high-scoring game.
My Manchester United Fulham tip is therefore: Both score and over 2.5 goals!
