London Stadium

West Ham United will square off against Fulham at the London Stadium in the Premier League on Sunday. West Ham with their recent performances in the Premier League are making a push for the 6th place. The Hammers currently occupy 7th and are only a point behind Manchester United having played a game more. A win in this game and a loss for Manchester United could see them pip the Red Devils this week. A loss however would see Newcastle United pip West Ham to 7th if they win their game on the weekend. West Ham left it late in their last Premier League game at the Molineux Stadium as they beat Wolves. They went down due to Emerson conceding a penalty that Sarabia finished off easily. Wolves dominated the first half but couldn’t kill off the game. West Ham got back into the game late with a penalty of their own as Paqueta converted from the spot. The Hammers went ahead in what was a moment of magic as Ward-Prowse scored straight from the corner. West Ham was lucky in the end as the Wolves were denied a goal by VAR.

Fulham were unlucky in their last game against Newcastle United as they also failed to convert their early chances to take the lead against the Magpies. Dubravka made some fine stops to deny the likes of Andreas with Jimenez and Broja also going close. The Magpies were denied a goal by VAR but got back after Bruno Guimares scored to seal the tie and hand Fulham their 6th loss at home. Fulham are in 13th place in the league with 39 points. The best-case scenario for them this week with a win could see them jump to 11th.

Facts:

West Ham United have a good record against Fulham at home in the Premier League. The Hammers have failed to lose any of their last 12 games against the Cottagers at home in the Premier League. They have won 8 and drawn 4 of those games. They last lost a home game to Fulham back in 2001 in a 2-0 loss.
Fulham in the reverse fixture ended up thumping West Ham United 5-0 at Craven Cottage. If they win against West Ham on Saturday then will register their first double over the Hammers since 1965/66 in top-flight football.
Fulham have a good record in London derbies this season. The Cottagers go into this game having won 3 of their last 4 games against London opposition. They have just lost the solitary one. Before this run of 4 games, they managed to win 3 games against London teams in 41 games losing 29 and drawing 9.
West Ham United have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last 12 games in the League. Only Burnley and Sheffield United are on a longer streak of not conceding with 14 and 15 games respectively. West Ham United have however scored in each of their last 7 games. They have lost just 1, drawn 3 and won 3.

West Ham United vs Fulham Chance of Winning

The recent head-to-head record between these two historic clubs of London emphatically favours the team in Claret. In the last 20 matches played by these two teams, West Ham has won 12 games, 4 games have ended in a draw with Fulham winning just 4 times.

West Ham in terms of personnel is the better team. We expect Moyes and Co to be up for this game. The Hammers will well know that Fulham are not the best away from home. If West Ham can be consistent in defence they do have the attack to get the goals. West Ham needs to take this game by the neck and dominate. If the Hammers fail to kill the game off and allow Fulham a way back in then could be trouble for them.

Fulham have been very convincing at home but their record away from home leaves much to be desired. It is hard to pinpoint why Fulham struggle so much in away games. They look like 2 different teams in the space of 2 weeks. If Fulham want to finish in the top half then they will need to draw inspiration from the home form and start performing better on the road. It is however a tough ask at the London Stadium as we back West Ham United to have a much better chance of winning in this game.

West Ham United vs Fulham Predictions and Betting Tips

The bet makers have labelled this tie as a very competitive one in terms of the odds between the two sides. There isn’t much to split West Ham and Fulham when it comes to the odds in this game. West Ham went into this game as minor favourites to win this game due to them playing at home and having a slightly better record coming into this game.

West Ham United, according to their standard, have not been the best at the London Stadium this season. The Hammers have only a 38%-win rate at their home turf this season which has put David Moyes under pressure. They are decent in front of goal with the likes of Kudus and Bowen. The Hammers average 1.63 goals from an expected goal ratio of 1.19. Fulham on the other hand have been extremely poor when they play away from Craven Cottage.

Marco Silva’s men have scored 1.13 goals on average from an expected goal tally of 1.37. We expect this game to be a tight affair but we also back both teams to score in this game easily. We also predict that West Ham will score 2 goals in this game. The Cottagers have conceded 2.19 goals in their away games this season on average. We also back Fulham to score in this tie as they have failed to score in just 31% of their games this season. West Ham United have conceded 1.44 goals at home this season and have kept a clean sheet in just 25% of their games at home this season. Fulham have a good attack and we can see them scoring here.

In terms of scoring first, West Ham easily edges Fulham in the League this season. The Cottagers have found the back of the net first in 12 of their 32 games. West Ham United have the better record as they have scored first in 15 of their 32 games. We have to back the home team to start strong in this game. Fulham have been wonky away from home this season. They have taken time to start games quickly and that is why we back the home team in West Ham to score the first goal here.

In terms of scoring for West Ham United, we back Michail Antonio to go in as the favourite to score in this game. Antonio has not featured much this season for the Hammers but in recent games he has been in good form. Much of the goal-scoring load this season from the Hammers came from Bowen and Kudus. Antonio has once again slotted in through the centre and his running ability could give big problems to the Fulham defence.

For Fulham, we will continue to back Rodrigo Muniz to have a good game. Muniz has been in good goal-scoring form having scored 8 goals in the League since the start of Feb. Only Phil Foden has more goals with 9 in this spell. Muniz however does not like scoring too many away from home just 2 goals from those 8 have been scored away from Craven Cottage.

Final Prediction:West Ham United to beat Fulham.

Our Prediction

Favorites to win

West Ham United

The bookies have not picked a strong favourite in this game but have backed West Ham United to get the deal done at their home stadium. We believe this game could end up going in any direction. West Ham United have been the more consistent of the two London sides this season. Fulham are at their best when they play at home, However, they badly tend to struggle away from home. The same applies to West Ham.

They are a far better outfit in front of their fans. They have made it difficult for a lot of top teams in the league this season at the London Stadium. The problem for West Ham is their European game midweek. Playing 3 games in a week is going to take a toll on their performance. They have had an away game in Germany so the extra travelling is bound to affect the players. It remains to be seen if West Ham can rise over fatigue and perform against Fulham. We believe that they do have the tools to do so, especially in front of their home fans. We back West Ham in this game. Our prediction is a 2-1 win for the Hammers.
