Fulham v Southampton Predictions and Free Bet Tips
Fulham v Southampton Match Preview
Fulham will be looking to keep the feel-good factor going heading into Christmas when they entertain Southampton on Sunday afternoon.
The Cottagers have been very steady over the past few weeks, and they stabilised things after a 4-1 hammering at home to Wolves at the end of last month.
They have had a tough run of late, which has seen them tackle Tottenham, Arsenal, and Liverpool, but they picked up draws in each of them.
Perhaps there will be a case of what might have been at Anfield as they were pegged back twice despite playing most of the game against 10 men after Andy Robertson’s first-half dismissal for the Reds.
Nevertheless, Fulham are sitting in eighth spot, and just four points off the top four.
In stark contrast, Southampton’s season has been dire, and although they gave Liverpool a slight scare in their EFL Cup quarter-final clash at St Mary’s, the sacking of Russell Martin in the wake of the 5-0 hammering at the hands of Tottenham laid bare their problems.
Anchored to the bottom of the table with just five points mustered from 16 games, it seems like the Saints are in quicksand and in danger of breaking some rather unenviable records.
But how will things unfold at Craven Cottage? As is customary, I’ve provided some tasty Fulham v Southampton predictions based on my findings in the betting markets.
Fulham to keep it tidy at the back
Fulham may be a relatively unfashionable team by all accounts, but they are upwardly mobile.
Usualy lurking around mid-table judging by most recent finishes, the West London outfit have made some big strides forward and they have played some silky football under Marco Silva.
Apart from a derby trip away to Chelsea, Fulham’s festive programme seems to be relatively kind.
For Southampton, however, the drop appears to be looming, and a miracle act to salvage their top-flight status seems highly improbable.
Against Tottenham last weekend, they found themselves 4-0 down inside 25 minutes, and they have contributed to their own downfall with a swathe of unforced errors. I’m talking specifically about playing out from the back and being punished.
Fulham did a Premier League double over Saints when they last met in the 2022/23 campaign. More disconcertingly, Southampton have won just one of their past nine league games away to Fulham (D3, L5), so this could be another long afternoon.
Whatever happens, Southampton will be bottom at Christmas, and if they lose, they will have the joint-second lowest points tally with Sunderland (2005/06) at this stage of the campaign.
To kick off my Fulham v Southampton predictions, I think Fulham will keep a clean sheet and win to nil which has an attractive price of 9/5 tagged onto it at William Hill.
Saints to experience another drubbing
Although there has been no official announcement on the next Saints manager, whoever comes in will need to have a new blueprint.
Just 11 goals scored from 16 games represents a sorry return, and there is some quality in that squad if you dig deep enough. Take Cameron Archer’s strike against Liverpool in the EFL Cup which was superb.
But Fulham aren’t likely to show any mercy on Saints during the season of goodwill.
To accompany my earlier tip, I think Fulham could run out comfortable winners.
The winning margin line looks enticing and Paddy Power has dished up odds of 7/1 for Fulham to prevail by four goals.
