Fulham
In their last match, Fulham suffered a narrow 1-2 defeat away to Manchester United. This result extended their winless streak to four matches in the Premier League (2 draws, 2 losses). Fulham currently sits in the lower half of the table, struggling to find consistency in their performances. A win against Arsenal would be crucial to boost their confidence and improve their standings.
- Fulham has not won in their last five home matches in the Premier League (3 draws, 2 losses).
- The team has conceded at least one goal in each of their last eight home games in the league.
- In 4 of Fulham's last 6 home matches, both teams have scored.
Arsenal
Arsenal comes into this match on the back of a 3-0 victory against Aston Villa at home. Mikel Arteta's side has been in impressive form, winning four of their last five matches in the Premier League. Arsenal is currently in the top four, and a win against Fulham would solidify their position as title contenders.
- Arsenal has won 3 of their last 4 away matches in the Premier League.
- The team has scored at least two goals in 3 of their last 5 away games.
- In 6 of Arsenal's last 8 away matches, the total goals exceeded 2.5.
Fulham vs. Arsenal: Match Prediction
Fulham has struggled to find form at home, facing challenges against strong opponents. However, they have shown the ability to score, which could pose a threat to Arsenal's defense. On the other hand, Arsenal has been consistent in their performances, especially in away games, and will look to capitalize on Fulham's vulnerabilities.
Considering the recent form and statistics, I expect this match to have goals from both sides. My prediction: Total over 2.5 goals
