The heart is powerless! The stats say Manchester United's FA Cup tie is too close to call after 90 minutes[weiyuan]

At 0:30 am Beijing time on March 3, the FA Cup ushered in the fifth round of the game, Manchester United will sit at home against Fulham, which is one of the few opportunities for Manchester United to perform this season. At present, Manchester United has basically withdrawn from the league championship and the ranks of the competition for European qualification, then the FA Cup title will be their second chance, from the data of the competition, Manchester United want to win in 90 minutes is not small difficulty.

Manchester United is currently performing poorly in the league, ranking 14th with 33 points, and has basically withdrawn from the ranks of the competition for European qualification, so if you want to obtain European qualification, you must find another way, such as cup championship. Prior to the FA Cup, Manchester United has eliminated Arsenal on penalties, 2-1 reverse victory over Leicester City, successfully qualified for the round of 16, for the cup is certain.

Unfortunately, Manchester United is still suffering from injuries, Lima has just finished surgery, at least six months out, Luxshaw, Mount also uncertain return date. In the next few games, Manchester United will also play two legs against Real Sociedad in the Europa League, play at home against Arsenal in the league, and play against Leicester City, which can be said to be difficult.

Fulham's position in the league table is still higher than Manchester United, but compared to United, their attitude towards the European war should not be so strong, and the cup may need to be questioned. It is worth mentioning that the new season Fulham's away results are higher than at home, 13 rounds of away games they maintained 10 unbeaten record, for them has been quite good. In the last four away games, they have won all and scored 2 goals per game, but they have lost goals in the last three away games, and the defensive performance is not satisfactory.

In the past, United have dominated the competition, since 2010, United has lost only one match against Fulham, and the two sides have met in the FA Cup four times, United have successfully won. Of the 21 matches between the two sides with the same host and guest, Manchester United has won 17, drawn 2 and lost 2. However, in the meeting in February 2024, United lost 2-1 at home to Fulham and were less dominant.

For this game, the official opened the odds combination of 2.18 (Manchester United win) 3.22 (draw) 2.78 (Fulham win), and the position of the main winner 2.18 was obviously too high, and the difficulty was not low. In terms of score, the odds of a 1-1 draw between the two sides are the lowest at 6.4 to 1, but the odds of a 2-1 win for United are 7.75 to 1, and a 1-0 win is 8.3 to 1, both of which are also low. On the whole, it is still quite difficult for Manchester United to win smoothly within 90 minutes, the maximum is likely to be a draw into extra time, but from the attributes of Manchester United to the FA Cup, the promotion problem is not big.
