Manchester United holds a clear home advantage with a 55% win rate at home and a solid +7 goal difference on their own ground. The hosts score an average of 1.82 goals per home match with an xG of 1.92, indicating good offensive efficiency. Fulham's away form is significantly weaker with only a 27% win rate, a negative goal difference of -7, and a high 55% loss rate. The visitors average just 1 goal per away game with an xG of 1.22, suggesting issues in creating goal-scoring opportunities.
