Fulham v Manchester Utd Betting Preview

Premiership leaders Manchester United may have left it late in Europe, but early goals are often the story when these two meet.

The last three games have seen goals scored in the sixth, second and seventh minutes. Sellers might therefore be heartened to learn that Sporting Index reckon the first goal will be scored in between the 34th and 37th minute.

Just how many goals will be scored? Well, Manchester United have found the net 10 times in their previous three Premiership games and are predicted to fire in 2.0 to 2.2 goals despite being far from incisive against Reading and Lille.

This fixture has been a high scoring affair of late with 17 goals in only the last three games. Sporting Index could see interest from buyers on their total goals spread of 2.7 to 2.9 goals. Fulham may have shipped four against Spurs, but the total goal minutes market was a very profitable one for the buyers!

Given the recent goal glut here, Sporting Index's total goal minutes spread of 135-145 minutes should catch the attention of those eagle-eyed punters.

Could Rooney trouble the Cottagers once more? He has struck three times in their last two matches and his goal minutes spread is 24-27 minutes.

So who does Sporting Index tip to take the three points? Manchester United are unsurprisingly predicted to win this by a 1.2 to 1.4 goal margin - however Fulham could upset the form guide given their solid six game unbeaten home run in the Premiership.
