Fulham form and stats

Let's have a look at how Fulham performed last season in the Premier League: They landed a 18th position in the league table after playing out 5 victories, 13 draws and 20 defeats. In total they scored 27 and conceded 53 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 3 - drew 9 and lost 7 with 18/25 goals scored/conceded. The sun doesn’t shine and the birds do not sing for Fulham, who have now gone eleven games without a victory. The Liverpool game was their last win and it’s been a dry spell since.

Fulham's last game was the home draw against Middlesbrough (1-1). Midfielder Harry Wilson was the best performer of that match, with a rating of 7.65. Wilson scored one goal, hit three key passes and had 24 successful passes (of 26 total).

A 1-1 draw at Manchester United's stadium before that.

The schedule is very tough for Fulham now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Championship game at Millwall is waiting in only three days.

Head 2 Head

Last ten meetings between the teams: Huddersfield won one, Fulham won seven and two draws. five games with over 2,5 goals, five matches with two goals or less.
