Man United lost the first game of the season to Everton. It’s not so much of a shock that Man United might lose to their old foe Everton. It was Man U’s first away game of the season after all. Man United play their first home game against Fulham. No doubt Man U will be looking to restore their pride. Let’s take a closer look at Man United first home game of the season covering goals, corners, cards and scorers.
Manchester United v Fulham
Sat 25th August, 3pm
Let’s Compare Bets predicts the score will be Man United 2 Fulham 0 based on previous stats. Fulham had a shocking away record last season. Even Wolves, Bolton, and Blackburn managed to scored more away goals than Fulham last season. Alex Fergusson’s side achieved the best home team record last season and won 15 our of 19 games.
Expect Man United to have more shots on target, to score at least once in the first half, have most possession, and to win at least 3 more corners than Fulham. A small wager could be beneficial on either Wayne Ronney or Robin van Persie. Although one of Sir Alex’s criticisms of the defeat to Everton was that Van Persie was not getting enough service in front of the goal Wayne might be a better option.
