Fulham head into Saturday's clash with Sunderland on the back of five defeats from their last seven matches across all competitions. The Cottagers have conceded at least two goals in four of their last six league games, but have only failed to score in two of those matches.
Of their last seven encounters in league and cup, Sunderland edge the head-to-head record with three wins to Fulham's two, and both teams have scored in five of those meetings. The Black Cats have won three of their last five trips to Craven Cottage, and both teams have scored in each of those victories.
Sunderland have only lost two of their 11 outings in the Premier League this season, and head into this weekend's game against Fulham unbeaten in their last four fixtures. Both teams have scored in each of the Black Cats' last three matches, and the visitors have scored at least two goals in three of their last four league games.
With all of the above in mind, we're expecting a close and competitive 90 minutes between these two clubs, but we are backing Sunderland to come away with all three points via a narrow 2-1 scoreline.
Fulham 1-2 Sunderland
