No payout for Southampton in their previous match, an away game at Nottingham Forest that ended in defeat 3-4.

Ward-Prowse (midfield) was the top team player in that game with a rating of 8.82/10. Ward-Prowse scored one goal, served one assist, hit six key passes and had 51 successful passes (of 57 total).

A defeat was the result before that one, 1-3 away at Newcastle United.

Fulham form and stats

The visitors are W6-D2-L9 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Fulham seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Fulham are travelling after their nice 5-3 home win in the fixture against Leicester City (placed 18th). That victory felt nice as this side had gone three league matches without winning. As you can tell from the result, the match against Leicester City was as crazy as a clown in a village circus. Great fun for the neutral supporter with 8 goals, will the fun continue today? Fulham goalie Leno was high and low in the Leicester City game, contributing six saves towards the victory. Willian got a match rating of 8.73 in that game, top player of the team. Willian scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 25 successful passes (of 29 total).

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against Liverpool wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

The visiting Fulham have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 21 goals from 17 games. 22 goals have been conceded by Fulham in these games.
