The Premier League Matchday 28 clash between Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur will take place on 1 March at Craven Cottage in London. Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Fulham
Fulham surprised in the previous round by beating Sunderland on their own turf 3:1. That result ended a three-match losing run in the league, during which the team had conceded at least two goals in each game. The club are clearly struggling for consistency, alternating wins with defeats. Incidentally, along with Brentford, Fulham are the least draw-prone side in the league this season, with both teams recording just four stalemates. At the moment, Marco Silva’s men sit 10th and retain a slim chance of finishing in the European places, trailing that zone by eight points.
- Three or more goals have been scored in Fulham’s last five Premier League matches.
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Fulham’s last 9 league games.
- The team have avoided defeat in 4 of their last 5 home Premier League fixtures (3 wins and 1 draw).
Potential Fulham Lineup (4-5-1)*
Bernd Leno – Ryan Sessegnon, Joachim Andersen, Kenny Tete, Calvin Bassey – Alex Iwobi, Sander Berge, Kevin de Macedo, Emile Smith Rowe, Harry Wilson – Raul Jimenez.
Midfielder Samuel Chukwueze will miss the match through injury. The involvement of midfielder Sasa Lukic and defender Antonee Robinson is in doubt.
Tottenham Hotspur
Tottenham Hotspur played their last two Premier League matches at home against opponents who, like them, are representing England in the Champions League, and lost both. First, they were beaten by Newcastle United 1:2, before being thrashed by Arsenal 1:4. Prior to that, the team lost 0:2 away to Manchester United. Their current three-match losing streak is their worst run in the Premier League this season. It is also worth adding that Tottenham Hotspur have conceded at least two goals in each of their last seven Premier League games. The club currently sit a lowly 16th and could soon find themselves in the relegation zone, from which they are only four points clear.
- The team are on a nine-match winless run in the Premier League (4 draws and 5 defeats).
- Both teams have scored in 7 of Tottenham Hotspur’s last 8 league matches.
- At least three goals have been scored in 6 of the London side’s last 7 Premier League fixtures.
Potential Tottenham Hotspur Lineup (4-3-3)*
Guglielmo Vicario – Archie Gray, Djed Spence, Radu Dragusin, Micky van de Ven – Joao Palhinha, Conor Gallagher, Yves Bissouma – Xavi Simons, Pape Matar Sarr, Randal Kolo Muani.
Midfielders Wilson Odobert, Lucas Bergvall, Rodrigo Bentancur and James Maddison, defenders Destiny Udogie, Pedro Porro and Ben Davies, as well as forwards Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski remain sidelined through injury. Defender Cristian Romero is suspended for a further two matches.

Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur: Match Prediction
Meetings between these sides in the current league campaign have produced an average of around 2.9 goals. Both London clubs score plenty and concede a lot. It looks as though we will see at least three goals in this contest too. Fulham are in slightly better form than their neighbours, but backing a home win is risky because the hosts are capable of either winning or losing at any moment. That is before we even mention Tottenham Hotspur, who are failing in the Premier League for a second consecutive season. For that reason, it makes more sense to focus on a high-scoring derby.
The hosts have scored in nine straight league home matches. Meanwhile, at least three goals have been scored in 6 of Fulham’s last 7 home Premier League games. Tottenham Hotspur have found the net in 10 of their last 13 away league fixtures, while three or more goals have been scored in 9 of the last 12 Premier League away matches involving the visitors. In addition, at least three goals have been scored in 6 of the last 9 head-to-head meetings at Craven Cottage in the league.
Prediction: Over 2.5 goals
