We have another London-based game coming up on Sunday, which will be contested between Fulham and Tottenham. The Cottagers have shaken off the aura of a yo-yo club, while Spurs are undergoing a vastly disappointing season that has seen them drop from the top half of the table to the 13th position.
Fulham Team News
Fulham is not without its chances for a top 6 finish, but one glaring issue in their performances is the lack of consistency. From winning against Newcastle and Nottingham, both of whom are top 6 sides, to losing against mid-table Crystal Palace is a recipe for entertainment, but probably not a good foundation for continued success. At Craven Cottage, Fulham’s recent results also highlight this lack of consistency – 2 draws, 2 losses and 1 win across their last 5 Premier League home matches. Overall, Marco Silva’s team tends to be involved in goal-rich games regularly as 4 of Fulham’s last 5 league fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals with all of those 4 games producing the same 2-1 result.
Tottenham Hotspur Team News
Ange Postecoglou should probably be used to the pressure that is constantly placed upon him, as speculations about his replacements at the Tottenham helm are being made daily. The truth of the matter is that Spurs are not having the best of seasons, with Postecoglou’s probably still keeping his job due to his team progressing in the EL against AZ Alkmaar. But in the Premier League, Tottenham are 10 points off 10th-placed Fulham with erratic performances being the norm for Spurs. Despite a 3-game winning streak that gave off signs of stability, the Spurs returned to their point-dropping ways in their 2 most recent Premier League bouts. In terms of goals, Postecoglou’s side has been involved in just 2 games with over 2.5 goals across their last 5 league ones.
Head-to-Head-Games
Within the last 5 H2H encounters, Tottenham seem to have a slight advantage over Fulham with 2 wins as opposed to 1 for The Cottagers. Games between these two sides do not tend to feature a whole array of goals, as none of the last 5 meetings produced more than 3 goals.

Fulham – Tottenham Hotspur Betting Prediction
We have 2 inconsistent teams going against each other in what can be described as a secondary London Derby. Fulham have aspirations for a top 6 finish, while Tottenham will try to at least get into the top half of the table to have some semblance of success this season. Both sides vary wildly with their results, but overall most of their games tend to produce goals in the range of 2-3. This stands true for games between them as well. With that in mind, my pick here is for a range of 2-3 goals in this game.
