"Manchester United's central match of the day is tipped to favor Fulham, according to supercomputer Opta"

On August 24, the Premier League action returns to Craven Cottage as Fulham host Manchester United. The Cottagers are currently grappling with a three-game losing streak at home, but they will be eager to capitalise on their home advantage in this highly anticipated clash.

Fulham managed to snatch a 1:1 draw with Brighton in the opening round, demonstrating resilience and determination. They will need to harness these qualities once again as they attempt to break their losing streak against Manchester United, who are seeking their first points of the new season.

Manchester United, under the guidance of Ruben Amorim, have shown convincing preparation for the campaign, having suffered no defeats in seven pre-season matches. The Red Devils' coach has been instrumental in shaping a formidable team, ready to tackle the challenges of the Premier League.

The match promises to be a low-scoring affair, with six of the last seven championship matches between these two teams producing under 2.5 goals. However, Manchester United will be aiming to start climbing the tournament table with a win, boosting their 44.2% chance of victory. Fulham, on the other hand, have a 30.3% chance of securing a win, while a draw is predicted in 25.4% of cases.

Marco Silva's Fulham have shown stable play this season, and the home crowd will be hoping for a repeat of their resilient performance against Brighton. The Cottagers will need to be at their best to challenge a Manchester United side that demonstrated active play in their opening match against Arsenal, despite suffering a 0:1 defeat and hitting the opponent's goal 22 times.

The stage is set for an exciting encounter at Craven Cottage on August 24. Both teams will be eager to secure a crucial victory, and fans can expect a tense and thrilling match. Whether Fulham can break their losing streak against Manchester United or the Red Devils can kickstart their season with a win remains to be seen.
