Fulham form and stats

The loot brought home from travels has not been plentiful for Fulham as they have only collected 5 points from their 16 away games. Fulham only has 0 wins to counter their 14 defeats and 5 draws. The loyal fans travelling with their beloved Fulham have enjoyed the stadium food more than the matches as the visitors have gone 14 consecutive matches without winning on the road. The last time three points were secured away was the Millwall game. Fulham are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost eight in a row. It's been 8 days since they avoided defeat. (The Brighton & Hove Albion game.)

This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Premier League home defeat versus Manchester City with 0-2 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 1-2 home loss versus Liverpool.

The visitors have scored 10 goals from 16 away games, an average of less than one per game. People interested in "over 2,5 goals" betting will like to know that Fulham concede an average of more than 2,5 goals per away match all on their own.
