Fulham vs Manchester United: Both teams to score - Yes
Fulham's 2.0 xG at home meets United's 1.0 away xG, but the model still rates an over‑50% chance of both sides finding the net.
Both clubs arrive with uneven recent runs – Fulham have lost three of their last four, while United have slipped after a big win, making this fixture a test of defensive resilience as much as attacking intent.
Robbo's Verdict
The model puts the BTTS probability at 54.6%, driven by Fulham's 2.0 home xG and United's 1.0 away xG against defensive averages that leak goals regularly.
Show the maths
With Fulham averaging 2.0 expected goals and Manchester United averaging 1.0, the model gives a 54.6% chance both teams find the net, ahead of the 45.4% it gives to at least one side being kept out.
Show the maths
Combined expected goals of 3.0 (Fulham 2.0 + Manchester United 1.0) points to an open game, with the model giving Over 2.5 Goals a 57.7% chance against 42.3% for Under.

Our Poisson model, built from each side's real season scoring and conceding rates, has Fulham at 60.5%, the draw at 21.2%, and Manchester United at 18.3% to win.
The single most likely scoreline in our model is 1-0 at 10.0% — treat any single scoreline price with caution given how spread out the probability distribution is across a low-scoring match.
