An important duel in the bottom section of the Premier League, with both Fulham and Sheffield United experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 18th and the visitors in 20th place.
- Fulham has the fewest scored goals (7) at home in Premier League
- Sheffield United has the fewest scored goals (15) in Premier League
There haven't been much time to rest for the hosts, as they played a Premier League match only three days ago. That game was an away game at Burnley, so at least Fulham are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
Fulham form and stats
The home fans haven’t been spoiled with victories in the Premier League this season. Fulham, who have the fewest scored goals (7) at home in Premier League, have only managed 1 win, 4 draws and 7 losses from their games here at Craven Cottage. Fulham are slowly digging their own grave here at Craven Cottage with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in eight attempts. The last victory here came in the West Bromwich Albion match.
Fulham manager S. Parker and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Burnley (placed 15th) in the Premier League. In the game before, an away victory match versus Everton with a 2-0 scoreline.
This is expected to be a close game, with Fulham perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Fulham as a small favourite), we find five games. Fulham has won three of these, drawn zero and lost two.
Fulham have scored 7 league goals here from 12 matches, not a lot. Fulham's goalkeeper has had to pick the ball out of their own net 17 times. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Sheffield United form and stats
There's been little loot from Sheffield United's travels as they have only collected 4 points from 12 away games in the Premier League. Sheffield United, who have the fewest scored goals (15) in Premier League, only have 1 win to counter their 10 defeats and 1 draw. With two straight losses from their last two away games, Sheffield are hoping that it's time for some travel points again.
It might be tough going out on the road again for Sheffield, facing their second straight away game. Especially as the previous game, ended with a defeat 0-3 versus West Ham United (placed 5th). A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Bristol City.
It's a bit worrying for Sheffield United that their goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale made six saves in the West Ham United game last time out, but still couldn't prevent the loss.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found eight similar matches played by Sheffield in our archives, and the results are: one win for Sheffield United, four draws and three defeats.
Goals are few and far between in Sheffield's away league games. Only 6 goals from 12 travels. Sheffield struggle to build an impenetrable defensive wall in away matches with a total of 22 goals conceded from these games.
Head 2 Head
This is the result when the teams met earlier this season; Sheffield United - Fulham 1-1. As for the last eight games between these two teams, there's four Fulham victories, two draws and two Sheffield United wins. Over/under statistics; three of these games ended with three goals or more, five matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
