Fulham vs. Manchester United Betting Tips: Two picks for final Premier League game before World Cup

Live on Sky Sports, Fulham host Manchester United in the Premier League this Sunday at the Craven Cottage Stadium. Below we bring you a match preview plus two tips for the final top-flight game before the 2022 World Cup...

The hosts are having an impressive season so far, currently sitting 9th in the league table with 19 points, level with Liverpool.

They were incredibly close to pulling off a draw against Champions Manchester City last week but a 95th minute Haaland penalty cost them a huge result.

They have lost just once at home in the Premier League so far this season and after an encouraging performance last week, they will be going into this game full of confidence.

As for the visitors Manchester United, they sit 5th in the league table with 23 points and could go level on points with 4th placed Tottenham with a win here.

They were beaten 3-1 in their last Premier League outing against Aston Villa and will be hoping to bounce back against a Fulham side they have beaten in their last five consecutive meetings at this ground.

This will be the final league game for both teams before the World Cup which makes this game a hard one to predict. An intriguing clash awaits us and as usual, I have you covered with 2 of my best betting angles for this game included in the preview below.

Team News:

Kebano, Manor Solomon, Mitrovic, Kenny Tete & Harrison Reed are out for Fulham.

Varane, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Brandon Williams, Axel Tuanzebe & Diogo Dalot are out for Manchester United while Antony & Jadon Sancho are doubtful.

Fulham possible starting lineup: Leno; Decordova-Reid, Diop, Ream, Robinson; Cairney, Palhinha; Wilson, Pereira, Willian; Vinicius

Manchester United possible starting lineup: De Gea; Malacia, Lindelof, Martinez, Shaw; Casemiro, Eriksen, Fernandes; Antony, Martial, Rashford

Andreas Pereira is averaging 1.4 shots per game for Fulham so far this season and has had at least 1 shot in his last 13 consecutive Premier League appearances. The absence of their main man Mitrovic should also help the cause.

As for the goals, Fulham have seen a 2nd half goal in 12 out of their last 13 premier league games and there has been a 2nd half goal in their last 11 consecutive head to head meetings.

As for the match result, Manchester United have lost just once in their last 11 games in all competitions and considering Mitrovic is their top scorer with 9 goals, this will be a huge blow to their hopes of pulling off an upset here.

Combining these selections gives us a solid Betbuilder @ 4/5 and I am happy to stake 1pt on that as our main bet for this game.

A reminder that the Betbuilder requires these four outcomes:

- Andreas Pereira Over 0.5 shots in the match
- Over 0 goals in the 2nd half for both teams combined
- Over 0 corners in the match for Fulham
- Match result will be Man Utd or Draw

Did you know that bet365 pay your team out as a winner if they go 2 goals ahead at any time in the match (available on over 80 leagues and competitions, T&C's apply). Find out more on our bet365 offers page.

Palhinha is Fulham’s joint most booked player with 5 yellow cards to his name and loves to put in a tackle.

He is averaging a staggering 4.3 tackles per game for Fulham and has put in at least 3 tackles in 12 out of his 13 premier league appearances so far this season.

I expect him to put in a lot of tackles here and eventually mistime one to get booked.

Combining these 2 selections gives us a cracking longshot and I am happy to stake a small 0.25pt stake on that as our 2nd bet for this game.

Best of luck if you follow these selections. Please always gamble responsibly.
