Fulham form and stats

With 1 Premier League win, 3 draws and 6 defeats from their home games, Fulham are certainly not brimming with confidence. All in all it has been a very rough period for Fulham who hasn’t won a league-game in their last ten attempts. Their previous win was against Leicester City, 65 days ago. Fulham are very eager to stop a potential losing streak at Craven Cottage, having lost their two previous games here.

Fulham shared the glory with West Bromwich Albion in their last match, an away game that ended all square 2-2. 0-0 away at Brighton & Hove Albion before that.

The hometeam coach S. Parker made a successful contribution in the game against West Bromwich Albion, bringing on Ivan Cavaleiro who scored the equalizer in the 2-2 draw.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Fulham, as the Premier League home game vs West Ham United is only three days away.

The goals haven't exactly been flowing for Fulham here at Craven Cottage in the league, with less than one goal per game on average (7 from 10 games). Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 15 goals have been conceded.
