Model read

The model leans Manchester United at 42% when Fulham host Manchester United in the Premier League on 20 September 2026. A lean, though, not a lock. The numbers that frame it: • No strong lean on goals (53% Over 2.5). The interest, if any, lives elsewhere. • Head to head, the last 5 meetings gave 1 wins for Fulham, 1 draws and 3 for Manchester United, averaging 2.4 goals a game. • Rodrigo Muniz drives the home shot volume, 1.2 on target per 90. Form guide over the last six: Fulham W1 D2 L3, Manchester United W3 D1 L2. Squad notes: Fulham have McNally ruled out, Cairney ruled out, Sessegnon a doubt, De Fougerolles ruled out. Verdict: no bet. No bookmaker price published for this match yet.

Lower-probability calls our model rates above the obvious price; random finds are high-return scorelines that can happen. Higher risk, not a tip; we never beat the sharp market.

Shots taken before and after half-time, per game, over the games in brackets. The bar is the share taken in the first half. This is Understat shot data with the half-time split verified against the half-time score, counted separately from the match shot totals above, so the two can differ. A match where the split could not be verified is left out rather than guessed.

Share of the squad’s total expected goal involvement (xG + xA) this season. It is a measure of what the team is missing, not a prediction of the result: we do not publish a re-run win probability, because estimating who replaces him is a model change that has to be validated first.

How this works (honestly)

We are transparent about our method, our limits and how we measure performance.

What we use

Results, odds & closing prices, xG, shots, lineups, referee and schedule load.

Our method

Dixon-Coles + an xG strength model + champion/challenger selection + probability calibration + a trust gate.

What we don’t do

We do not beat the sharp market. The value is honest probabilities, No-bet calls and CLV.

Performance snapshot

Top-pick hit rate 47.7% (reliability, not edge). Calibration error 0.0096 (55405 matches).

More: Fulham predictions · Manchester United predictions · Premier League

Not financial advice. No model beats the sharp closing market on public data. The value here is honest probabilities, No-bet calls, and CLV history.
