Fulham vs Leicester City Predictions

• Both teams have scored in eight of Leicester’s last nine league games
• Leicester are without a clean sheet in 19 league matches
• Jamie Vardy has scored in back-to-back league outings

Craven Cottage set to host a classic

Leicester missed the chance to ease away from relegation danger when held to a 2-2 draw at home to fellow strugglers Everton last time out and the pressure is now on to pick up a positive result at Fulham.

With the Foxes only goal difference outside of the relegation spots and games with Liverpool, Newcastle and West Ham to come, defeat at Craven Cottage could be fatal to their survival chances.

Having trailed 1-0 to the Toffees inside 15 minutes from Dominic Calvert-Lewin’s penalty, Leicester turned things around to lead 2-1 and would have been all but home had James Maddison not missed his first-half spotkick.

Dean Smith’s men were made to pay the price for that penalty blunder when Alex Iwobi equalised and, in the end, should be content with the point given Everton finished the stronger and won the shot count 22-15.

That came on the back of another entertaining draw with another relegation rival in Leeds at Elland Road and means they have now won only one of their last 12 league matches.

With the attacking talent Leicester have at their disposal, most notably from the creative influence of Maddison and Youri Tielemans, relegation shouldn’t even come into the question.

Leicester have Jamie Vardy back amongst the goals, with the veteran having scored in back-to-back games with Leeds and Everton, and fresh and rejuvenated he could be value to get on the scoresheet.

But they find themselves where they are because defensive frailties continue to haunt them.

No clean sheet in 19 and having leaked 59 goals in 33 games, the Foxes remain difficult to trust but that should only ensure a lively encounter.

Fulham have had an excellent first season back in the Premier League and find themselves well on course for a top-half finish with four games remaining.

The Cottagers have suffered three straight defeats but one-goal losses away at in-form duo Aston Villa and Liverpool and a 2-1 reverse at home to Manchester City are hard to fault.

Prior to that, Fulham had recorded wins over Leeds and Everton so it would be unfair to say they’re on the beach.

However, Marco Silva’s men are also without a clean sheet in ten, meaning goals for both sides could be the way to go at the Cottage.

Those opting for a correct score wage should side with a repeat of Leicester’s 2-2 draw with Everton, in what should be another thrilling contest.
