The exact scores our numbers rate most likely, across all three results, with the chance of each. Note how small even the leader is - a match can land on dozens of scores, so the top one is usually around one in eight. That is also why the leader here can be a draw score even when we are on one side to win, because a draw is one narrow cluster while a win is spread over several scores. Treat these as the shape of the game rather than a promise.
💬 FormPicks Commentary
Man United are the higher-rated side here, sitting 3rd in the league against a Fulham team languishing 12th, and that gap feels real given United finished 8 places clear last season. But this is a toss-up - Fulham are playing better than their winless run in four games suggests, their underlying numbers are solid, and they're being let down by poor finishing rather than poor chances. The wrinkle is that United have been riding their luck lately, picking up points their actual performances don't quite justify, while Fulham's second-half fade means they could easily slip away if it stays tight. Expect a cagey game that ends level.
