This week Mancunians have issued themselves a ticket to the semifinals of the Europa League. Manchester United hosted Granada at Old Trafford and was convincing in the second meeting with the Spanish club, getting a 2:0 win. For Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s wards, the success in the match with the Nasrid was just a continuation of the winning streak that Manchester United began in the Premier League. In the last round of the national championship, the Mancunians beat Tottenham away, making a convincing comeback. After the first half, the Red Devils were on fire with a score 0:1, but in the second half they managed to turn the tide by scoring three times. As a result, they got a 3:1 victory. In general, Manchester United have already won four matches in a row in the English Championship. Before defeating Spurs, Solskjaer’s team knocked out Manchester City (2:0) away, as well as West Ham (1:0) and Brighton (2:1) at home. It must be said that Manchester United are now the third best in the Premier League in terms of their home arena. At Old Trafford in 15 matches, the Mankunians have achieved eight victories, three more matches ended in a draw and four lost. Over the past 11 home matches, the Red Devils have lost only once. It should be noted that Manchester United are one of the most productive home teams. In their native walls, the Mankunians have already scored 31 goals, the best indicator is only for Manchester City (36). Only striker Anthony Martial and defender Phil Jones will definitely not play in the match due to injuries. Marcus Rashford and Eric Bailly have injuries. Their degree of readiness will be determined before the meeting.
For Fulham, the match is equally important. “Summer residents” failed in the last segment of the season, which is why they significantly lowered their chances of retaining their registration. Bookmakers hardly believe that the London club will be able to stay in the Premier League for another season. The fact that Scott Parker’s team will be able to finish outside the relegation zone can be bet before the upcoming meeting with odds of 3.56. In the last four rounds Fulham have lost exceptionally and they looked really weak in these matches. The Summer Residents were defeated by Manchester City (0:3), Leeds (1:2) and Wolverhampton (0:1) at home and away they lost to Aston Villa (1:3). As for the performance of the London club on the rivals’ fields, at the moment Fulham have 15th place in the Premier League. In 15 away matches, they lost five times, ended seven meetings in a draw and achieved success in three. It should be noted that the defeat at Villan is the only one in the previous nine away matches. Midfielder Tom Carney, goalkeeper Marek Rodak and defender Terence Kongolo will not be able to help guests due to injuries in the match against Arsenal. So, what is the accurate football predictions for today?
