Winning the FA Cup is Fulham’s best chance to win a trophy this season. On the other hand, it would be very special for Manchester United to win both domestic cups. That means this is going to be a back-and-forth battle from the first minute.
Manchester United controls the soccer odds, but keep in mind that Fulham won six of its last 10 road games.
Manchester United: Good Rhythm
Manchester United also has the chance to win the UEFA Europa League, but that’s a much tougher competition than the FA Cup. Also, the club is third in the English Premier League but 16 points behind Arsenal, the team atop the standings.
That being said, the Red Devils have had a great FA Cup so far, winning all three matches 3-1. First, they eliminated Everton. Later, they knocked out Reading. Most recently, they took care of West Ham United.
Casemiro is the team’s top scorer in the competition with two goals, but he won’t be available for this match due to suspension. Marcus Rashford will have to take the reins. Luckily for Man United, Rashford is on fire. He’s the team’s top scorer with 27 goals in all competitions.
Manchester United hasn’t lost in its last 22 home games and comes in as the soccer lines favorite for Sunday at -250.
Fulham: Not Bad
Prior to the start of the season, Fulham’s top priority was to avoid relegation from the EPL, which according to the Las Vegas odds, it wasn’t going to be easy. Well, the club accomplished that, currently sitting in ninth place, 15 points ahead of Bournemouth, the team sitting in 18th place.
Regarding the FA Cup, the Cottagers eliminated Hull City, Sunderland and Leeds United. They had to play twice against Sunderland since the first match finished 1-1, winning the second 3-2. Fulham scored at least two goals in all games but the first against Sunderland.
Layvin Kurzawa, who’s a right-back, is the team’s top scorer in the competition with two goals. You should also keep an eye on Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has two assists in the Cup and is the team’s top scorer in the EPL with 11 goals.
The Cottagers come in as the soccer betting underdog thanks to a +650 price, which is not bad for a team that won six of its last 10 road games in all competitions.

Manchester United vs Fulham Picks and Prediction
I have no doubt that Fulham will put up a good fight, but Manchester United’s mojo is coming back. Man United has already won the League Cup and eliminated two EPL teams from the FA Cup. As if that wasn’t enough, Rashford is highly motivated after scoring the winning goal last Thursday against Betis. That and its recent scores and odds make me think Manchester United can win by two goals once again.
Manchester United is listed at -250 in our Vegas soccer lines. This means that if you wager $100 on Manchester United, you have a chance to win $40. Fulham is +650, offering a chance to win $650 on a $100 wager.
