- Date: 04/01/2025
- Kick-off: 3:00pm
- Location: Craven Cottage, West London
Fulham are currently 11th on 27 points (8 wins, 3 draws, 8 defeats) and Liverpool 4th on 33 points (10 wins, 3 draws, 6 losses) after 19 Premier League matches. Fulham had a tough start under Marsco Silva but have improved with time, while Arne Slot’s Liverpool are a shadow of the team they were last season and are likely only fighting for a top four finish.
Over the season Fulham average 1.37 goals scored and 1.42 conceded per league game, giving a match‑goals average of 2.79. Their matches have gone over 2.5 goals in 47–50% of cases and seen both teams score in 58%, underlining a fairly balanced BTTS profile. Liverpool’s games are slightly more open: they average 1.58 scored and 1.37 conceded per match, with a match‑goals average of 2.95. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 63% of Liverpool’s league fixtures and BTTS in 58%, with their campaign shaped by a strong attack and only average defensive numbers.
Fulham’s home form is solid, with 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 defeats at Craven Cottage, with 15 scored and 10 conceded (1.67 for and 1.11 against per home game). At home, 44% of Fulham’s league matches have gone over 2.5 goals and 44% have seen BTTS, with a clean‑sheet rate of 44% and failure to score in only 11%. Those figures suggest a team that generally offers a reasonable attacking output while being a touch tighter defensively at home than away.
Liverpool’s away form is also good, with 4 wins, 1 draw and 4 defeats, with 15 scored and 16 conceded (1.67 for and 1.78 against per away match). Their away fixtures are notably higher scoring than at Anfield, with an average of 3.44 total goals, over 2.5 goals in 78% of away games and BTTS in 67%. They have failed to score in only 11% of away league matches and kept just 2 clean sheets, emphasising how frequently their away matches open up.
Across the campaign, Fulham’s matches have produced over 2.5 goals in 47–50% of games and under 2.5 in the other half, with BTTS landing in 58% overall and a stronger 70% away from home than 44% at Craven Cottage. Their home matches still see over 1.5 total goals in 56%, and second halves tend to be more eventful, with an average of 1.56 goals after the break versus 1.22 before half‑time.
Liverpool, meanwhile, sit clearly towards the higher‑event end of the league. Over 2.5 goals hits in 63% of their matches overall and 78% away, with BTTS also higher on the road (67%) than at home (50%). Their away games also see at least two goals in 89% of fixtures, and the second half is particularly active, averaging 2.56 total goals compared with 0.89 in the first half.
Fulham 1-2 Liverpool
