Tottenham Hotspur vs Fulham Predictions

• Fulham have scored in 12 of their last 14 league away games
• Tottenham have kept one clean sheet in their last 18 domestic home matches
• Eight of Tottenham’s ten home games this term have featured at least three goals

Goals look likely in derby clash

Tottenham pulled off arguably the result of the Premier League season when they won 4-0 at champions Manchester City last Saturday, but they will know the potential pitfalls of over-confidence all too well as they face Fulham on Sunday.

It will be just over two weeks since Ange Postecoglou’s side lost 2-1 in their most recent home league game against new boys Ipswich, which should ensure they are fully on their game.

Fulham will be eying a shock after collecting three points in their last away game at Crystal Palace, but it could be a big ask for them to come away with anything after they were humbled 4-1 at home by struggling Wolves last week.

Tottenham forward quality tips the balance

Tottenham could not hold on to victory against Roma in the Europa League on Thursday and with a second-choice goalkeeper and a makeshift back four, it would not be a surprise if the Fulham attack led by Raul Jimenez causes them problems.

The Cottagers tend to get on the scoresheet in away games and the Spurs rearguard can often look shaky, so it seems likely that both teams will score.

However, the home side have an array of attacking talent that tips the balance in their favour, so back them to win the match with both outfits notching, with a 3-1 home success potentially of interest to correct-score punters.

Son is getting his eye in

While Tottenham can usually be relied upon to score plenty of goals, it is perhaps a surprise that Heung-min Son, who looked geared to be their talisman following Harry Kane’s departure, has notched only three times in the league this term.

The South Korean star, who was on target from the spot against the Wolves on Thursday, has been trying to get his eye in, raining in a total of nine shots in Tottenham’s recent home games against West Ham and Aston Villa, so this could be the week he gets back into the Premier League scoring groove.
