Liverpool to Win and Over 3.5 Match Goals
Reasoning
Fulham vs Liverpool Predictions
- Fulham ended their last Premier League stint with eight defeats from their final ten games.
- Liverpool have seen over 3.5 goals in five of their last six Premier League openers, winning five of them.
- Mohamed Salah has scored six goals in his four opening-round appearances for Liverpool.
Cottagers face tough assignment
Fulham cruised to automatic promotion in the Championship last season but the Cottagers face a baptism of fire as they host Liverpool in their curtain raiser on Saturday.
Marco Silva’s side closed the book on their Championship campaign with a 4-0 defeat at Sheffield United in the final round of fixtures in May and I expect them to be similarly humbled when they face the title-chasing Reds.
Goals galore in Liverpool curtain raisers
Liverpool began their season in perfect fashion last weekend with a 3-1 win over Manchester City in the Community Shield and, given their past performance in the opening round of the season, we can expect another thriller at Craven Cottage.
They have been involved in the highest-scoring opening-round fixture in five of the last six seasons, winning five times, scoring 22 goals and seeing at least four goals on five occasions.
Not only that, but they ended last term on an 18-game unbeaten streak in the league and face a Fulham side that lost eight of their final ten outings in their last spell in the Premier League.
Salah to fire Reds to rampant victory
I’m backing Jurgen Klopp’s side to rampage to a commanding victory, continuing their high-scoring ways in the opening round of the season with a 4-1 correct score prediction.
Mohamed Salah can be backed to get his season off to a flyer, too. The Egyptian has scored in all four of his opening day appearances for Liverpool and netted six times in total. He finished as joint-top scorer last season and even at odds-on looks good value to open his account on Saturday.
