Fulham vs West Ham: Preview and Prediction

England Premier League
Saturday 15th December 2018
Kick off at 5:30pm GMT
Venue: Craven Cottage

Match Preview:

The London derby between Fulham and West Ham will wrap up Saturday’s fixtures and will be played in the early evening.

Fulham are bottom of the league with 9 points but with 17th place having just 12 points The Cottagers chances of survival are not lost. Since Claudio Ranieri took charge they have won 1 game, lost 2 and drawn 1, but have had to face Manchester United and Chelsea in that time.

Four goals conceded at goal shy Manchester United last weekend was another blow and loss to the club who have now conceded a whopping 40 goals already this season.

At home the club have lost 3 games from 7 played but the good news is that they remain undefeated at home under Ranieri.

West Ham are in brilliant form where they have won their last 3 games and have scored 9 goals in those matches. There is a feel good factor at the club not seen since perhaps Slaven Bilic’s first season with the club a few years ago and everything seems to be clicking for Manuel Pellegrini’s side.

This form has pushed The Hammers up to 11th place and they are unbeaten away from home in their last 3 games. They have found a solid foundation despite a growing list of injuries to key players.

 

Team News:

Fulham: Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa misses this game after his 2 yellows v Manchester United.

West Ham: Marko Arnautovic is out for the rest of the year with a hamstring injury. Lucas Perez has a foot injury but will be assessed. Jack Wilshire’s return has been put back by a week and he will miss this game. 

 

Fulham vs West Ham Head to Head:

The clubs have not played here since 2014 where Fulham won 2-1.

West Ham have not won at Craven Cottage since 2010.

There is an 80% chance to see both teams to score.

 

Fulham vs West Ham Prediction:

The outstanding statistic is the both teams to score which we will take here. West Ham are full of goals at the moment and Fulham under Ranieri have a new lease of life and they even scored at Old Trafford. Felipe Anderson has been on fire for the Hammers and we will back him to score once again. This is a game that could be heated and we will also back to see a sending off to happen during the match.

Both teams to score at 1.91

Anytime goalscorer: Felipe Anderson at 3.20

Sending off in game at 4.00
