Fulham vs Manchester United

Current streaks

Recent form

Fulham

Fulham have shown mixed form in their recent outings, with three wins, one draw, and two losses in their last six matches. The Cottagers have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, particularly their 3-2 victory over Brentford and 3-1 win against Nottingham Forest in a friendly. Despite their current 8th position in the league, Fulham's goal difference stands at zero, having scored and conceded an equal number of goals (9) across these six matches. Their defensive record has been inconsistent, managing only one clean sheet but conceding in 67% of their games. Interestingly, Fulham's matches have been evenly split between high and low-scoring encounters, with half of their games seeing over 2.5 goals and the other half under. The team's ability to score consistently (averaging 1.5 goals per game) while struggling to keep opponents at bay suggests exciting, end-to-end football for Fulham fans.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent form presents a mixed picture, with the Red Devils struggling to find consistency. After a promising start in the Premier League Summer Series, where they secured back-to-back victories against West Ham and Bournemouth, United have since failed to win in their last four outings. The standout result was a convincing 4-1 victory over Bournemouth, which showcased their attacking potential. However, a run of three consecutive draws in friendlies and the Premier League Summer Series suggests the team have been struggling to convert chances into wins. Their most recent match, a 1-0 loss to Arsenal in the Premier League, has left them in a disappointing 15th position after the opening round of fixtures. United's defensive record is a concern, having kept just one clean sheet in their last six matches, while their goal difference of +3 over this period indicates they are creating chances but need to tighten up at the back.

Recent home/away form

Fulham

Fulham's recent home form presents a mixed picture, with the Cottagers experiencing a run of three consecutive Premier League defeats before bouncing back with two friendly wins. Their last six home matches have seen them score an average of 1.5 goals per game, whilst conceding 1.67, resulting in a slight negative goal difference. Interestingly, 67% of these games have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals, suggesting Fulham's home matches tend to be entertaining affairs. The standout result was undoubtedly their 3-2 victory over Liverpool, showcasing their ability to compete with top-tier opposition. However, their inability to keep clean sheets regularly (only one in the last six) might be a concern for the coaching staff as they look to improve their home record.

Manchester United

Manchester United's recent away form has been particularly poor, with the Red Devils currently on a concerning run of three consecutive away defeats. Their last six away matches have yielded just one win, one draw, and four losses, highlighting their struggles on the road. Defensively, United have been vulnerable, conceding 11 goals in these six games, with an average of 1.83 goals conceded per match. The 4-3 defeat to Brentford stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, while the 4-1 loss to Newcastle United represents their heaviest defeat in this period. Despite these defensive frailties, United have managed to find the back of the net consistently, scoring in five of the six matches and averaging 1.33 goals per game. However, their sole clean sheet came in a convincing 3-0 victory against Athletic Club in the Europa League, offering a glimpse of their potential when firing on all cylinders.
