In the match of the 38th round of the English Premier League, Manchester United and London Fulham will meet. Will the hosts be able to succeed and take third place at the end of the season? We'll figure it out.
Manchester United
Manchester United is currently on the third line in the standings, ahead of Newcastle by two points. Over 37 games, the team scored 72 points, won 22 victories, drew six times and suffered nine defeats, while hitting the opponents' goal 56 times and conceding 42 goals. In the last round, Manchester United scored a crushing victory over Chelsea with a score of 4:1.
Fulham

Over 37 games, the team scored 52 points, won 15 victories, drew seven times and suffered 15 defeats, while hitting the opponents' goal 54 times and conceding 51 goals. In the last round, Fulham broke up with Crystal Palace with a score of 2:2 on their own field.
Statistics and figures
- Bookmakers consider Manchester United the favorite of the match;
- Manchester United have not lost at home for more than 30 games;
- Fulham have won two of their last five away games;
- The teams have met twice this season: in the championship, Manchester United won with a score of 2:1, and in the FA Cup with a score of 3:1.
Forecast
I think that the home team should succeed in the upcoming match, because they just need points in order to keep third place at the end of the season, and the guests are no longer solving any tournament tasks. I propose to place two bets on the upcoming match: the individual total of Manchester United goals (1.5) more and the victory of Manchester United in the first half.
