It may appear that only West Ham United desperately need a win as they fight to avoid relegation. However, Fulham will also be keen to extend their winning run to three matches.
Fulham
Including the FA Cup, Fulham already have three victories in a row. They beat Stoke City 2:1 in that competition to reach the last 16. In each of these recent wins both sides have scored, but that has still been enough for them to take the result. Across 12 matches in 2026 they have failed to score only twice, and on those occasions the Both Teams to Score bet did not land. One of those setbacks is understandable, as they were up against Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium (0:3). The last match that year in which that bet did not win was also an away game against West Ham United. During the Boxing Day period, Raúl Jiménez, set up by Harry Wilson, secured an 85th-minute winner — two of the team's most productive players this season.
West Ham United
After three consecutive low-scoring matches, West Ham United were involved in a high-scoring game against Liverpool, but not in the way their fans would have liked – a 2:5 defeat. In their penalty area, Liverpool were able to create chances at will: they scored from corners, from open play, and also profited from an own goal. Tomáš Souček’s goal was impressive, but it did not change the outcome. Recently, away from home, under Nuno Espírito Santo they have only beaten fellow bottom-half sides Tottenham Hotspur (2:1) and Burnley (2:0).
Fulham vs West Ham United Prediction
Fulham are more cautious in this respect, but the team's tendency to concede could still lead to dropped points, so we will avoid the match result market. We prefer to back the Both Teams to Score bet.
