Fulham vs Tottenham: Prediction, Preview & Betting Tips

This game is admittedly too close to call despite the apparent league standings and the points differential between the two teams. Although, based on recent form and the inconsistencies of Tottenham Hotspur, we are leaning towards a Fulham win here.

Marco Silva’s side are in great form, having won three of their previous five league matches and more recently secured an FA Cup quarter-final place at the expense of Manchester United. Fulham have scored first in five of their last six games, but defensively, they have been susceptible with the Cottagers failing to keep a clean sheet in their previous six matches.

Tottenham Hotspur have lost three of their previous five games in all competitions, whilst, in the Premier League, the visitors have also lost three of their previous five on the road. In this fixture, Tottenham Hotspur has shown they can cause Fulham problems, scoring first in six of the previous eight meetings.

That being said, Fulham's form is bound to give them the advantage for the home side, and we think Fulham will see out this contest with a goal to separate the two teams.

Fulham 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur.

Fulham hosts Tottenham Hotspur in a London derby on Sunday, with both sides still harbouring European aspirations this season in other competitions.

Date: 16/03/2025
Location: Craven Cottage, London.
Kick-Off: 13.30 pm

Fulham have enjoyed a productive campaign this far across the Premier League and in domestic competition as Marco Silva builds his Fulham side year in and year out, improving each season. The Cottagers are currently tenth in the Premier League after 28 games played, although they are still only four points behind Brighton & Hove Albion, who occupy that final European spot. The home side have also got one eye on a potential FA Cup run, having just dispatched FA Cup holders Manchester United in the fifth round of the competition, with a cup victory opening the door to a potential UEFA Europa League spot next season.

As for Tottenham Hotspur, their hopes of a European place lie in the hands of their progress in the UEFA Europa League. Ange Postecoglu’s side are now in the quarter-final of the competition following their 3-2 aggregate win against AZ Alkmaar. This will be a welcome relief for Tottenham Hotspur, who have vastly underperformed in the Premier League this season, as the away side are 13th in the league after 28 matches played.

The reverse meeting between the two sides resulted in a 1-1 draw, with goals from Brennan Johnson and Tom Cairney for either side. Interestingly, Cairney received a straight red card within the last ten minutes of the game.

The game will not be shown live on TV in the UK.
