Man United vs Fulham Prediction and Betting Tips: Back Pereira to be carded at Old Trafford

Manchester United host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday at Old Trafford. The game kicks off at 3pm and here at bettingodds.com we've provided you with our two best bets for the encounter that you can read all about below. 

While still not at the peak of their powers, United are on a solid run of form and they look capable of chalking up a fifth league win in a row when they host a Fulham side on the decline.

A seven-game unbeaten run in all competitions has thrust the Red Devils back into the Champions League picture and a big reason for this upturn in results has been the attacking improvement, with 19 goals scored across this purple patch.

Defence is still an issue for ten Hag, who has seen his side keep just two clean sheets in their last 10 assignments and the reshuffle at the back following Shaw's injury only adds to the problem.

However, Fulham's form over the past month is a cause for concern, as they have recorded just one victory from their last eight assignments and are winless in 11 away matches in the top flight.

The Cottagers have failed to score in three of their last four away games in the league and it is hard to back them with any confidence to score at Old Trafford, a stadium they have not won at since October 2003.

With over 2.5 goals landing in all of United's last six fixtures and the Red Devils winning five of those, there looks to be a strong chance that bet can be successful again.

Another betting avenue to go down is for Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira to be booked. The 28-year-old was at the Red Devils from 2011 to 2022, spending time on loan at four different clubs, and he never really made his mark in the first team before being sold to the Cottagers.

The Brazilian will have something to prove when he returns to Old Trafford for just the second time since his departure, the only previous time coming in the FA Cup in March 2023 when he ended up getting cautioned.

Pereira has received four yellows in the league this season, the last coming in the most recent away clash at Burnley, and it would be no surprise to see his name in the book again.
