24th spot in the Championship table for Fulham right now, a competent campaign. The home team followers pray for more joy as 24th-placed Sheffield United visit Craven Cottage.

Fulham form and stats
Fulham are steadily winning Championship games and points here at Craven Cottage. 7 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat is the summary from 11 games. Fulham haven’t lost a league-game in eleven attempts regardless of arena, a great achievement. Their last loss was the fixture versus Coventry City, 79 days ago.
Fulham drew their last game, 1-1 away at Luton Town (placed 12th). Adarabioyo was "man of the match" with a rating of 8.01 out of 10. The defender Adarabioyo won 11 of 12 duels.
In the match before that, Fulham hosted AFC Bournemouth and drew the game 1-1.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 eleven games) they have won seven times, drawn two and lost two.

Sheffield United form and stats
As the visiting team in Championship matches, Sheffield United have produced an overall stat of 4-3-4 so far. It could be a hat trick of victories away for Sheffield, as they have won on their previous two travels.
Sheffield play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-2 victory visiting Cardiff City (placed 20th). Gibbs-White, attacking player, was the top performer on the team in that game, scoring a match rating of 9.34. Gibbs-White scored one goal, signed up for two assists, hit three key passes and dribled past the opponent 3 of 5 times.
That result followed a home victory 2-0 versus Bristol City.We have checked recent matches where Sheffield have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those ten games were one victory, two draws and seven defeats.
Scoring goals is the main ingredient in creating success in football, and not only at home. So far Sheffield United have scored 13 goals in 11 league games away. Sheffield's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 17 goals from these trips.
