Fulham vs Tottenham Hotspur Predictions

• Tottenham are nine league games without a win.
• Both teams to score and over 2.5 goals has landed in eight of Fulham’s last ten matches.
• Raul Jimenez has three goals in his last four in the league.

Spurs struggling

If Igor Tudor was in any doubt about the size of his task in turning around Tottenham’s fortunes, their 4-1 defeat at the hands of rivals Arsenal last weekend will have made things very clear.

Spurs are just four points clear of the relegation zone and are in real danger of dropping to the second tier for the first time since 1978.

They visit Fulham on Sunday desperately looking to pull away from the bottom three. Tudor had just 13 first-team players to choose from last time out as Tottenham’s extensive injury issues continue.

Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso have been passed fit but they are still without Cristian Romero through suspension and James Maddison, Mohammed Kudus and Dejan Kulusevski through injury.

One small positive for Tudor’s men is that they have been better on the road than they have at home this season, taking 19 of their 29 points on their travels.

Their recent record against these opponents is poor however, losing three of the last four head-to-heads.

Fulham win or bust

The Cottagers have been a win or bust side this term, no team in the Premier League has drawn fewer games than their total of four, and they have put a three-game losing streak behind them with back-to-back victories against Stoke in the FA Cup and Sunderland in the league.

Marco Silva has done a fine job of turning this into a squad which is more than the sum of its parts and the hosts could launch an unlikely run for the European places if they finish the season strongly.

Fulham have had a tendency to be involved in entertaining affairs this term and this may be no different. Eight of their last ten games in all competitions have seen both teams score and over 2.5 goals land and a repeat of that looks likely.

Jimenez a big danger

Tottenham will take some time to get used to their new manager’s strategy while Fulham have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 matches.

As a result both teams are fancied to play their part in an entertaining clash at Craven Cottage, with over 2.5 goals and both teams to score the selection.

Tottenham are hard to trust at the moment, going winless in their last nine in the league, so correct score backers may want to side with a 2-1 victory for Fulham.

Raul Jimenez is in fine form as of late, scoring three in his last four league games, and he is a tempting price to get on the scoresheet again.
