Manchester United are likely to be a popular FA Cup bet to overcome Fulham in this quarter final clash on Sunday afternoon, although there are reasons to tread carefully when it comes to backing the Red Devils. They have not been foot perfect in recent weeks and come into this clash after a Thursday night Europa League encounter away to Real Betis.
While United are unlikely to forsake a three-goal advantage against their Spanish opponents, the number of recent fixtures might be catching up with a team who have competed on four fronts. The EFL Cup was recently landed although there has been a 7-0 humiliation at Anfield since then and then a goalless draw against Southampton.
Casemiro was sent off against the Saints and it means that United are missing one of their star players at a tricky stage of the campaign. Fulham will certainly feel as though they have a chance at Old Trafford and Marco Silva will be demanding an improvement after his team’s defensive sloppiness against Arsenal which led to them being 3-0 down at half-time.
Fulham have avoided defeat in over 50% of their away games in the Premier League this season although defending has been an issue after conceding three goals at Brentford before shipping the same number against Arsenal. However, they will be bidding to get on the front foot and I think both teams to score could be the wager.
