West Ham vs Fulham Match Preview And Prediction
West Ham vs Fulham: Less than 72 hours ago, West Ham faced a difficult away match in the first leg of the UEFA Europa League quarterfinal against Bayer Leverkusen. Despite suffering a 0-1 setback to Newcastle last weekend, Fulham gave a positive overall performance. In each of West Ham’s last seven league games, there have been goals on both sides.
While the matchup with Millwall isn’t quite as intense, West Ham will nonetheless be very driven to win on Sunday against another London team. In addition to earning bragging rights in the capital, the Hammers will seek to avenge their heartbreaking 0–5 loss at Craven Cottage during the season’s opening half. The team of David Moyes visits Fulham in Gameweek 33 in London.
Three days have passed since West Ham’s intense Europa League matchup with Bayer Leverkusen, the incoming Bundesliga champions, on German territory. Moyes may make some changes to the starting lineup, but his club needs to win this game in order to have a chance to play in Europe the following season.
Conversely, Fulham does not have the same necessity. Following a 1-0 loss to Newcastle at home last weekend, they dropped to 13th place in the Premier League standings. Overall, Marco Silva’s team put on a respectable display, but they were unfortunate not to score from multiple clear-cut opportunities in front of Martin Dubravka’s goal.
West Ham vs Fulham: Betting Analysis
West Ham will look to get retribution for their December 2018 0–5 loss to Fulham. In their previous 23 home matches against the Cottagers, the Hammers have 13 victories, six draws, and just four losses. Of the last seven meetings between these rivals, just two ended in goals on both ends.
Theoretically, West Ham will be buoyant going into the game following their 2-1 victory over Wolves the previous weekend. The fact that this matchup falls directly between the Hammers’ Europa League quarterfinal matchups against Bayer Leverkusen, however, worries us greatly.
However, despite not finding the back of the goal on that particular occasion, Fulham was quite dangerous in the closing third of their home loss to Newcastle. Since the beginning of the season, West Ham’s defense has not been at all outstanding. On Sunday, we could witness players like Alex Iwobi, Willian, and Rodrigo Muniz giving West Ham a lot of trouble.
After all, the Cottagers triumphed 5-0 at Craven Cottage in the rematch a little over four months prior. Fulham is our pick to win at 2.90 odds. We also strongly favor Over 2.5 goals & Both Teams To Score at odds of 1.90. In West Ham’s last seven league games, both teams have scored.
