Command Analysis
Manchester United
EnglandCurrent form
Manchester United finished the last season in the Premier League only in eighth place. Moreover, for the first time since 1990, the Mancunians had a negative goal difference. The only thing that brightened up the season was the victory in the FA Cup, where they managed to beat their archrival Manchester City with a score of 2:1 in the final. Thanks to this, the Red Devils will play in the Europa League.
During the off-season, the MU management actively tried, first of all, to get rid of unnecessary players. Defender Raphael Varane, midfielder Donny van de Beek and forward Anthony Martial, as well as Aaron Wan-Bissaki left the team. In addition, the club's management is ready to sell 32-year-old midfielder of the Danish national team Christian Eriksen . Among the acquisitions, we note defenders Noussair Mazraoui, Matthijs de Ligt, Leni Joro and forward Joshua Zirkzee. Undoubtedly, the stake was made on the acquisition of defenders, since there were many problems in this line. It will be interesting to see how former Bayern players Mazraoui and De Ligt will show themselves in Manchester.
Manchester United played friendly matches with varying success, Erik ten Hag , like many other coaches, was outraged by the fact that many players did not have full training with the club due to their participation in national teams. In total, MU played five friendlies, winning two and losing three. Interestingly, the team failed two matches with Premier League representatives Arsenal and Liverpool (1:2 and 0:3 respectively). They also failed to win the English Super Cup - they lost in a penalty shootout, although they were the first to open the scoring in that game in the 82nd minute thanks to a goal by Garnacho.
Disqualifications and injuries
The season hasn't even started in the Premier League yet, and Manchester United already has a significant number of personnel losses. Shaw, Malasia, Yoro, Hoilund, Fish - that's the list of injured players.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester United have won only three of their last 10 Premier League matches.

Fulham
EnglandCurrent form
In the 2022/23 season, https://www.fulhamfc.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fulham returned to the Premier League and immediately finished in tenth place. The Londoners finished the last Premier League season in 13th place, which can be considered a step back, although they managed to avoid a tense fight for survival. In many ways, the not very high result was due to the disastrous final period, when they managed to win only two victories in the last nine rounds.
The main event of the off-season was the signing of Emile Smith Rowe from London's Arsenal. From the very first matches, the player began to prove that it was no coincidence that they paid a lot of money for him by the standards of the "cottagers". In each of the two friendly matches in which he played, the footballer scored goals. The team's ranks were also replenished by defenders Ryan Sessegnon and Jorge Cuenca. Defenders Tim Ream and Tosin Adarabio, as well as midfielders Bobby Reed and Joao Palhinha, left the club. We will add that head coach Marco Silva is dissatisfied with the number of central defenders. Fulham is looking at Joakim Anderson, Diego Carlos and Kalvin Phillips, who is distinguished by his versatility.
The "Dachniks" played only three friendlies. They won against Benfica (1:0) and Hoffenheim (2:0), and lost to Sevilla (1:2).
Disqualifications and injuries
Fulham have no problems with their squad, everyone Marco Silva is counting on can take to the field today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Fulham have not lost by more than one goal in six of their last seven Premier League meetings in Manchester.
- Fulham players have not received more than two yellow cards in 14 of their previous 16 Premier League games at Manchester.
Probable lineup : Leno - Tete, Diop, Bassi, Robinson - Reed, Lukic - Traore, Smith-Rowe, Iwobi - Muniz

1.50Tip and bets
The first match of the season, it is difficult to judge the teams' potential in betting tips. However, bookmakers have almost no doubt that the hosts will start with a victory. We would not be so sure of this, the squad has been updated, Erik ten Hag did not conduct a full training with the participation of all players, besides, there are already some injured. Fulham retained the "backbone", strengthened the attack of Smith Rowe and clearly do not plan to give up points today without a fight. Moreover, it should be noted that in six of the last seven face-to-face confrontations on the field in Manchester within the framework of the Premier League, the "cottagers" did not lose with a difference of more than one goal. We are inclined to bet on the underdog in this pair.
Our prediction is a Fulham victory with an Asian handicap (+1) at odds of 1.85
Bet on total
It is obvious that Fulham will try to block all approaches to their penalty area. In two friendly matches, the "cottagers" played to zero, which cannot but please the fans. In attack, Manchester United is still not doing well, which could be seen in the friendlies. We believe that we should not expect high results today.
The second bet is total under three goals with odds of 1.96
Bet on corners
In the two previous face-to-face encounters, the opponents served no less than 13 corners. The teams have the same coaches, and there were no major changes in the lineups. We can expect an active flank game.
Betting Tip - total over 12.5 corners with odds of 2.35
