Fulham v Leicester

Fulham vs Leicester Preview

Fulham were dealt a 1-0 defeat away from home at Manchester United in last Friday night's Premier League season opener but The Cottagers will now return to their Craven Cottage ground for Saturday afternoon's clash against Leicester City, while the visitors opened their account last weekend with a 1-1 draw at home against Tottenham upon their return to the English top flight.

Fulham finished last season's Premier League campaign in the lower half of the table in 13th place which was largely down to picking up just two wins in their last nine matches overall which came in the form of victories against West Ham and Luton Town but also included slipping to five defeats in the process as well.

Losses to the likes of Nottingham Forest, Newcastle United, Liverpool and Manchester City ensured Fulham were made to endure a disappointing end to their top flight campaign and the hosts have made a similarly disappointing start to this new season following last week's loss.

Fulham have also lost three of their last four games on home soil at Craven Cottage while the bigger picture shows Marco Silva's side have managed to capture just four wins out of their last 11 games while also slipping to five defeats as well, which suggests the London club may struggle in this upcoming encounter.

Leicester City will have been pleased with last week's point gained against Tottenham on home soil at their King Power Stadium and The Foxes will feel upbeat about their chances of gaining a positive result down near The Thames on Saturday afternoon.

The east midlands club will also be highly motivated to pick up as many points as they can in the early stages of this season as The Foxes have a potential points deduction hanging over their heads and Steve Cooper's side will fancy their chances of adding to their points tally against Fulham.

However, Leicester City have also found capturing wins overall hard to come by as the visitors have picked up just six wins in their last 16 matches in all competitions which were gained over Norwich City, Birmingham City, West Brom, Southampton, Preston NE and Shrewsbury Town respectively which also includes being dealt eight defeats in the process as well.

In addition, Leicester City have recorded just two wins in their previous eight outings on the road in all competitions and interestingly, five of these eight away games also resulted in only one team scoring and therefore this trend may continue on Saturday.

Fulham v Leicester City Verdict

Both Fulham and Leicester City have produced a string of disappointing results overall and therefore the goals market may appeal here as two out of the last three meetings between Fulham and Leicester City have produced only one side scoring.
