Fulham v Tottenham

Fulham vs Tottenham Preview

Fulham suffered a 2-1 loss away from home at Brighton last weekend in the Premier League which became a second defeat in three games for The Cottagers as they had previously been dealt a 2-0 defeat at home by London rivals, Crystal Palace, and another all-London encounter awaits Marco Silva's side on Sunday lunchtime when Tottenham come to The Cottage.

Tottenham overcame a 1-0 deficit in the Europa League in midweek when they recorded a 3-1 home win against Dutch Eredivisie outfit AZ Alkmaar at their Tottenham Hotspur Stadium which resulted in Spurs being the eventual victors by a 3-2 win on aggregate, and the visitors will be keen to get back to winning ways in the English top flight as well.

Fulham have produced a rather mixed bag of results in recent times in the Premier League as The Cottagers have picked up four wins, been involved in two draws along with also being handed four defeats as well, so literally anything could happen here at Craven Cottage on Sunday lunchtime!

Given Fulham's inconsistent nature of results in the English top flight in the past few weeks where wins and losses have been chalked up in equal measure, it may be best to focus on the goals markets for this upcoming fixture.

Indeed, seven out of Fulham's last 10 league matches have resulted in Over 2.5 goals being scored.

Tottenham now return back to the bread and butter of the Premier League this weekend after securing their place in the quarter-finals of the Europa League in midweek, but there is plenty of room for improvement for Ange Postecoglou's side as the north London visitors head into this upcoming clash having registered just three wins from their last 12 matches.

Recent wins against Brentford, Manchester United and Ipswich Town, the latter being a comprehensive 4-1 thrashing of the Tractor Boys at Portman Road should still give Spurs a welcome boost ahead of this upcoming short trip across London to Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Spurs have also slipped to no fewer than seven defeats within this recent 12-match sequence, three of which have been inflicted upon Ange Postecoglou's side on their travels with losses at Nottingham Forest, Arsenal and Everton respectively.

Nevertheless, Tottenham have won their last two away games on the trot in the English top flight and considering Fulham's mixed results overall in recent times, Spurs stand a decent chance of gaining a positive result here on Sunday.

In addition, six out of Tottenham's last 10 matches overall in the top flight have also resulted in Over 2.5 goals.

Fulham v Tottenham Verdict

Both Fulham and Tottenham have struggled to gain consistent results lately in the Premier League and this could lead to a few goals at Craven Cottage on Sunday.

Therefore, our main bet will be Over 2.5 goals @ 1.57

Other side bets worth considering:

Tottenham win @ 3.60
