While Fulham have at the very least ensured a mid-table finish, their aspirations were actually to secure a return to European football. However, things have fallen apart for them at the most inopportune of times. Now, they will need to win against a revitalised Everton team, which has ensured survival under David Moyes and has started to revert to a team that is tricky to beat.
Fulham Team News
Three losses across the last 4 matches and a total of 4 defeats in the last 6 Premier League fixtures is the reality that Fulham faces. The Cottagers were actively gunning for a European spot at one point in the not-so-distant past, but have fallen from grace big time and are now finding themselves outside of the Premier League’s top 10. A victory against Everton might keep some slim hope of keeping Fulham in the European race, but it might be too little, too late. Overall, the Cottagers have been involved in matches that usually feature 2 to 3 goals, with just 1 of their last 10 games producing more, although Fulham will have to improve their fortunes in front of goal as they have failed to score in 2 of their last 4 matches.
Everton Team News
Everton have ensured their survival in the Premier League, and reality has nothing but their pride to play for. David Moyes has managed to stabilise his team and will most likely use the remainder of the season to better figure out who will be relied upon for the next campaign and which players will fit in his tactics. Despite the ensured survival, Everton has gone through a rough patch in their recent fixtures, with 2 of their last 3 games ending in defeats. If we look at the team’s last 10, we will see predominantly draws and low-scoring matches, with 8 in that period failing to produce over 2.5 goals and averaging 2.1 goals.
Head-to-Head-Games
Fulham haven’t lost any of their last 7 meetings with Everton. Games between these two tend to be under the radar as far as goals are concerned, as only 1 of the last 5 produced over 2.5 goals. Everton’s last victory over the Cottagers came in 2020 and, more surprisingly,y in an away fixture.

Fulham – Everton Betting Prediction
Seeing as how neither Fulham nor Everton seem to be involved in high-scoring affairs, my pick for this game is for a goal range of 2-3. While Fulham might harbour some hopes to renew their European bid with a win here, Everton is playing for nothing but pride, however, David Moyes’ team has seen a steady improvement since he took over and has become a tough team to beat. With H2H encounters between the two predominantly featuring games with few goals scored, I believe that the 2-3 goal range is ideal for this game.
