The Premier League clash between Fulham and Southampton on Sunday promises to be a fascinating encounter. Fulham, under the guidance of Marco Silva, will be hoping their home advantage will make the difference, while Southampton, managed by Russell Martin, will be hoping to break their poor away form and get a much-needed victory.

In this Fulham vs Southampton preview, we’ll take a closer look at the recent form, team performances, and key betting tips to help you make informed betting decisions ahead of the match.

Fulham vs Southampton Betting Tips

When it comes to betting on this match, the current form of both teams strongly suggests that Fulham will be the favourites. Fulham have performed reasonably well this season, sitting in 8th place in the Premier League table after 16 matches. Their record against teams below them has been solid, with 5 wins, 4 draws, and 2 losses from 11 matches. However, their home form has been somewhat mixed, with 4 wins, 2 draws, and 2 losses at Craven Cottage. They’ve scored 14 goals and conceded 13 at home, but they’ve yet to keep a clean sheet in front of their own fans.

On the other hand, Southampton are languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table in 20th place, with just 5 points from 16 matches. Their away form has been dreadful, failing to secure a win in any of their 8 away matches this season. Southampton have scored only 4 goals on the road and have conceded 15. They have also failed to score in 4 of their away matches, which will be a concern heading into this fixture.

Fulham vs Southampton Match Prediction

Our Fulham vs Southampton prediction leans toward a comfortable victory for Fulham. Fulham’s attack has been consistent, with key players like Raúl Jiménez and Alex Iwobi contributing goals, while Southampton have struggled to find the back of the net on the road. Southampton’s defence has also been leaky, conceding 36 goals against teams above them in the league. Their recent form, including three consecutive defeats, suggests they are unlikely to pose a significant threat in this match.

Fulham’s recent 2-2 draw against league leaders Liverpool further illustrates their resilience, while Southampton’s 5-0 drubbing at home to Tottenham highlights their ongoing struggles. Given the disparity in form, we predict a safe win for Fulham in this encounter.

Match Prediction:
Fulham to Win. Bet with bet365.

Fulham vs Southampton Correct Score Tips & Prediction

For our Fulham vs Southampton correct score tip, we believe that a 2-0 win for Fulham is the most likely correct score prediction. Southampton’s attacking woes and Fulham’s solid home form should lead to a comfortable win for the home side.

Correct Score Prediction: 2-0 to Fulham. Bet with bet365.

Fulham vs Southampton Over & Under Goals Betting Tips

For our Fulham vs Southampton over/under prediction, we believe the match is more likely to see under 2.5 goals. Fulham’s home matches have generally been tight affairs, with a high number of games seeing fewer than 3 goals. Despite their attacking prowess, Fulham’s defence has shown vulnerabilities, especially in their home matches, where they’ve conceded 13 goals. Southampton, however, have struggled to score away from home, with only 4 goals scored in 8 matches. Given Southampton’s inability to score consistently, we expect a relatively low-scoring game.

Over/Under Prediction: Under 2.5 Goals. Bet with bet365.

Fulham vs Southampton Bet Builder Tip

A solid Fulham vs Southampton bet builder tip could include a combination of our expected match outcome. Alex Iwobi has been in good form for Fulham and is likely to feature heavily in their attack. Given Southampton’s struggles on the road and Iwobi’s recent form, he is a strong candidate to score at any time during the match. Additionally, with Southampton’s lack of firepower away from home and Fulham’s solid defence, the game is expected to be a low-scoring affair, making under 2.5 goals a favourable bet.

This combination offers good value and aligns with the predicted outcome of a Fulham victory with a goal or two scored.

Bet Builder Tip: Fulham to win, under 2.5 goals, and Alex Iwobi to score anytime. Bet with bet365.
