Fulham
Fulham have come through their last two league matches with confidence, picking up two wins. First, they beat Sunderland away from home (3:1), before then overcoming Tottenham Hotspur on home soil (2:1). The club have moved up to ninth in the standings and now trail the top five by eight points. It is also worth noting an upturn in goals in Fulham matches – at least three goals have been scored in each of their last six Premier League games.
- Both teams have scored in eight of the London side’s last 10 Premier League matches.
- Fulham have scored exactly two goals in four of their last five home league fixtures.
- The club have opened the scoring in five of their last six home matches in the Premier League.
Potential Fulham Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Bernd Leno – Ryan Sessegnon, Issa Diop, Kenny Tete, Calvin Bassey – Alex Iwobi, Sander Berge – Oscar Bobb, Emile Smith Rowe, Harry Wilson – Raul Jimenez.
Forward Kevin is out injured.
West Ham United
West Ham United travelled to face Liverpool on Saturday and, as expected, were beaten – though by a heavy 2:5 scoreline. Before that, the London side drew at home with Manchester United (1:1) and Bournemouth (0:0). Incidentally, in the current campaign the team have conceded five goals only for the second time. The club remain in the bottom three, but they are only two points adrift of 17th place and safety. It is also worth highlighting West Ham United’s frailties at the back – they have conceded 54 goals, with only Burnley (56) having a worse defensive record.
- Both teams have scored in six of the London side’s last eight league matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in seven of West Ham United’s last 10 Premier League games.
- The team have failed to win 10 of their last 12 away matches in the Premier League (four draws and six defeats).
Potential West Ham United Lineup (4-3-2-1)*
Mads Hermansen – El Hadji Malick Diouf, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Aaron Wan-Bissaka, Axel Disasi – Tomas Soucek, Mateusz Fernandes, Soungoutou Magassa – Crysencio Summerville, Jarrod Bowen – Valentin Castellanos.
Goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is sidelined through injury. Midfielder Freddie Potts is suspended for one more match.

Fulham vs West Ham United: Match Prediction
Marco Silva’s men are consistent only in their inconsistency. The team alternate wins with defeats and do not put together long runs either way. Given Fulham have won their last two league matches, there is a concern they could drop points again. For that reason, we would not take the hosts to win. The visitors in this London derby also need three points in order to finally climb out of the relegation zone – and their chances of winning this one are fairly high.
West Ham United have clearly improved going forward, but the defensive issues have not gone away. We believe the club will score again, as they have done in seven of their previous eight league matches, and also concede – they have failed to keep a clean sheet in 23 of their last 25 Premier League games. Fulham, meanwhile, have scored in 14 of their last 16 matches in the Premier League and have conceded in each of their last nine. As a result, both teams to score looks the optimal option for this contest.
Prediction: Both teams to score – Yes
* For each team, the starting XI is from their previous match in this competition.
