Fulham

LLLDWL

Fulham will be hoping to return to winning ways here after a 2-0 Premier League loss in their previous game against Everton.

In that match, Fulham managed 49% possession and 8 shots on goal with 4 on target. For their opponents, Everton got 14 shots on goal with 5 on target. Idrissa Gueye (45') and Michael Keane (81') scored for Everton.

It’s been all too rare in recent games that Fulham have managed to hold out for a full 90 minutes. The facts show that Fulham have seen their defence breached in 5 of their previous 6 matches, shipping 9 goals during that time.

Sunderland

WLWWDD

In their last fixture, Sunderland drew 2-2 in the Premier League match with Arsenal.

In that match, Sunderland managed 35% possession and 6 attempts on goal with 2 on target. For Sunderland, the goals were scored by Daniel Ballard (36') and Brian Brobbey (94'). Arsenal got 17 attempts on goal with 7 of them on target. Bukayo Saka (54') and Leandro Trossard (74') scored for Arsenal.

Throughout their six previous matches, Régis Le Bris's Sunderland have slotted home 8 times thus giving them the goals per game average of 1.33.

🤜🤛 Head to head

If we look at their past head to head meetings going back to 24/01/2015, it’s been all-even between these two clubs with Fulham winning 2 of those games, Sunderland 2 and 2 being drawn after 90 minutes of play.

In all, 15 goals were scored between the two sides in these games, with 7 from The Cottagers and 8 being from The Black Cats. That’s an average goals per game figure of 2.5.

📋 Team News: Fulham

Antonee Robinson (Knee problems) and Rodrigo Muniz (Hamstring injury) will not be able to play for Fulham manager Marco Silva.

We are thinking that The Cottagers will possibly make use of the 4-2-3-1 formation in the match, utilising Bernd Leno, Kenny Tete, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Ryan Sessegnon, Tom Cairney, Sander Berge, Harry Wilson, Joshua King, Alex Iwobi and Raul Jimenez.

📰 Team News: Sunderland

In an otherwise healthy group, there’s just a single fitness problem for the Sunderland boss Régis Le Bris to be concerned with. Habib Diarra (Groin surgery) won’t be in action.

We reckon that The Black Cats will likely make use of a 3-2-4-1 system, starting Robin Roefs, Nordi Mukiele, Daniel Ballard, Lutsharel Geertruida, Trai Hume, Reinildo, Bertrand Traore, Granit Xhaka, Noah Sadiki, Enzo Le Fee and Wilson Isidor.

🔮 Prediction

We think that Sunderland might need a bit of good fortune to be putting a goal past this Fulham team who we think should manage to get a goal of their own in a winning performance.

We’re therefore seeing a 1-0 victory for Fulham when all is said and done.

Let’s see.
