Fulham form and stats

Fulham have played 8 Premier League games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-3-2 (wins-draws-losses).

A strong away win for Fulham against Crystal Palace the last match, as Reid, Ream and Mitrović were on target. Sweet to taste a league win after three fixtures without. The forward Mitrović won the honour of being "man of the match" for Fulham with a rating of 9.14/10. Mitrović scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit two key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 21 successful passes (of 26 total).

Heartbreak before that as Fulham lost 1-2 at Manchester City's place.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Fulham have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 7 games) they have won 2 times, drawn 3 and lost 2.

If you like betting on "both teams to score": A review of the 14 latest league games highlights that 11 of them had at least one goal from each side.

The manager da Silva will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Leicester City in only three days.

The Fulham fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 14 goals in 8 league matches. Fulham have conceded 13 from these games.

Southampton form and stats

Southampton have only collected 6 points from their away games in the Premier League, after 2-0-6 (8 played). With the Southampton losing streak of four defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking.

Southampton's previous game was their home loss versus Brighton & Hove Albion (1-3). Ward-Prowse got a match rating of 7.6 in that game, top player of the team. Ward-Prowse scored one goal, hit two key passes and had 37 successful passes (of 45 total).

A home victory as expected against Lincoln City preceding that, in the Carabao Cup. Southampton are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 1 win, 2 draws and 8 defeats. From a total of 11 matches.

A new game in only four days for Southampton, the Premier League home match versus Nottingham Forest. Busy days.

The attacking power of Southampton when travelling is not overwhelming with 5 goals scored from 8 league matches away. Defensive performances away have varied in quality as Southampton have conceded 15 goals on the road. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
