Fulham v Man Utd Betting Analysis

The live Monday night game comes from Craven Cottage where Fulham take on Manchester United. With Champions League football now out the way until next year, the Reds can concentrate on hauling themselves up the Premiership table. Currently nine points off the lead and with a host of clubs behind them with their own Champions League qualification hopes, Sir Alex Ferguson cannot afford too many further slip-ups. Already away from Old Trafford United have dropped several points, which is principally the reason why the club isn't closer to the leaders. Man Utd will make a late check on the fitness of top scorer Ruud van Nistelrooy before deciding whether the striker can play on Monday evening.For Fulham, defender Moritz Volz is unavailable as he serves a one-match ban, while Luis Boa Morte and Claus Jensen miss out with hamstring injuries.Chris Coleman's side have lost their last three in all competitions at home, but at least did put an end to their recent losing run last weekend at Norwich.The bookmakers make United odds on favourites to take maximum points. However, as mentioned above their away form has not been the best (three wins, three draws, three losses), and for this reason taking such a skinny price isn't worth the risk. Furthermore, although Fulham have lost the previous three at Craven Cottage, they were slightly unfortunate in the league cup against Chelsea. Only a late Frank Lampard winner spoiled a decent performance from the Cottagers. The hosts probably won't have enough to win the game, but they can at least match the achievements of the past two years at home to Man U.Try a small stake on a 1-1 draw at a best price 13/2. VCbet
