Prediction: Fulham VS Manchester City
Fulham Ride Momentum From First Away Win
Fulham finally claimed their first away win of the season, beating Tottenham 2-1. Two quick goals set them up for victory and lifted them six points above the relegation zone. Three wins in the last four league games show the Cottagers are turning a poor start into something positive. At home, Fulham have been solid too. Only Arsenal have beaten them at Craven Cottage this season. They also kept clean sheets in the last two home games and could win three straight home league matches without conceding for the first time since February 2011.
Manchester City Need to Bounce Back
Manchester City scraped a 3-2 win over Leeds with a stoppage-time goal after wasting a 2-0 lead. City have lost two of their previous three matches and trail Arsenal in the Premier League. The evening match in London looks ideal for City. They have won 13 of their last 14 evening league games and lost only once in the last 14 top-flight visits to London clubs.
Head-to-Head History
Fulham have lost the last 18 matches against Manchester City, which is the longest losing streak of one team against another in English football history.
Trends and Player Watch
Fulham have rarely seen both teams score in their recent home games, and the team is one of the most fouling sides in the Premier League this season. City have scored at least two goals in most of their recent away evening matches, but they have also conceded three or more in several of their last games. Harry Wilson gave Fulham an early boost with a goal against Spurs, but most of his goals come later in matches. Phil Foden has scored all four of his City goals this season in the first 25 minutes. Fulham will miss Antonee Robinson and Rodrigo Muniz, while City are still waiting for Rodri’s return.
BET TIP
City’s dominance against Fulham and their strong evening game record make them the obvious pick. Fulham’s recent form is encouraging, but the gap in class is still too wide.
