West Ham vs Fulham Prediction & Preview
West Ham United is set to clash with Fulham at London Stadium in what promises to be an exciting Premier League encounter.
This match comes shortly after West Ham’s midweek Europa League fixture against Bayer Leverkusen, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the contest.
Fulham, fresh off a positive display against Newcastle, will be eager to exploit any potential fatigue in the West Ham squad.
West Ham’s Form and Recent Matches
West Ham’s recent league outings have been characterized by high-scoring affairs, with goals coming from both ends in their last seven matches. Despite their Europa League commitments, David Moyes’ side has shown resilience in the Premier League.
However, they will seek redemption against Fulham after suffering a heavy 0-5 defeat earlier in the season at Craven Cottage.
The London side may opt for squad rotation to manage fatigue while keeping their European aspirations alive.
Fulham’s Recent Performance
In contrast, Fulham finds themselves comfortably mid-table and playing with less pressure. Under Marco Silva’s guidance, they have displayed attacking intent in recent games but have struggled to convert their chances into goals.
The match against West Ham presents an opportunity for Fulham to test themselves against a stronger opponent.
Head-to-Head Record
West Ham will be motivated to avenge their previous loss to Fulham. Historically, West Ham has dominated this fixture at home, with 13 wins in 23 previous encounters.
However, recent meetings have been more balanced, with only two of the last seven matches seeing goals from both sides.
Predictions for the Match
Considering West Ham’s potential fatigue from midweek European action, Fulham’s attacking threat could pose problems for their defense.
We predict a Fulham victory, with odds favoring an exciting match with over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring.
