The Matchday 30 Premier League clash between Arsenal and Fulham will take place on April 1 at the Emirates Stadium in London. Arsenal vs. Fulham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Arsenal
Before the international break, the Gunners secured a 1-0 victory at home against Chelsea. However, prior to this, the club had not experienced the joy of winning in three consecutive league matches. Due to this series, Mikel Arteta's side has fallen significantly behind league leaders Liverpool by 12 points but still maintains a solid 10-point lead over the nearest competitor outside the Champions League zone. Additionally, it's worth noting that the Londoners boast the best defense in the Premier League, having conceded only 24 goals.
- No more than two goals were scored in Arsenal's last five Premier League games.
- A maximum of one goal was scored in the first half of Arsenal's last eight Premier League matches.
- The club has suffered only one defeat in their last 17 home Premier League matches (12 wins and 4 draws).
Predicted lineup for Arsenal (4-3-3)
David Raya – Miles Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel Magalhaes, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber – Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Martin Odegaard – Mikel Merino, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard.
Forwards Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, as well as defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, will not play due to injuries. Notably, forward Bukayo Saka is already training with the team but will be prepared for the upcoming Champions League matches.
Fulham
The club has alternated between victories and defeats in nine consecutive league matches. Since mid-January, the Londoners have won five times and lost four matches. The team went into the short break for international games after defeating Tottenham 2-0 at home. Marco Silva's side is holding on to a high 8th place in the standings, just two points away from the European competition zone.
- Exactly two or three goals were scored in Fulham's last six Premier League matches.
- The club scored exactly two goals in 6 of their last 7 away Premier League games.
- The first half ended in a draw in 6 of Fulham's last 8 Premier League matches.
Predicted lineup for Fulham (4-2-3-1)
Bernd Leno – Antonee Robinson, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Timothy Castagne – Sander Berge, Andreas Pereira – Willian, Emile Smith Rowe, Alex Iwobi – Raul Jimenez.
Forward Reiss Nelson is out due to injury.
Arsenal vs. Fulham: Match Prediction
Marco Silva's side has been very dangerous for opponents at the top of the table this season. At home, the team has secured two wins and two draws against top-7 clubs, while away, they have three wins, one draw, and two losses. In all of these 10 matches, Fulham scored, but they kept a clean sheet only once.
The head-to-head statistics in the Premier League between these upcoming opponents are also intriguing. In the last 17 meetings, both teams scored in 13 instances. At the Emirates, both teams found the net in 7 of the last 8 league matches. I do not recommend betting on the outcome of this match; instead, I suggest considering a bet on the teams' scoring potential. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
