Arsenal vs Fulham Prediction

Arsenal Form

Arsenal conquered seven points from their last three matches and started off drawing 1-1 with Manchester City. Next up was a 2-1 win against Nottingham Forest, before Crystal Palace were defeated in 0-1 win. Arsenal won four of their last six Premier League matches on home soil, while drawing once and losing once. They conceded nine and scored 17 goals.

A second place finish is the absolute minimum Arsenal should achieve this coming season where the main target is of course the title.

Fulham Form

It is all or nothing with Fulham following one win in their previous three outings. They first went down 2-1 in an encounter with Manchester United to which, they replied by beating Everton0-1. Their latest encounter once again had them on the losing side, when they lost 0-3 against Brentford. Fulham managed a decent return of three wins in their last six Premier League away matches, in which they scored seven while also conceding five times. They also experienced zero draws and three defeats.

Most people expect Fulham to face a hard battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League for most of the season. This is a fiercely competitive league each year, and they seem to be lacking in quality.

Both Arsenal and visitors Fulham seem to struggle just a wee bit much right now, with keeping a clean sheet. We go out on a limb here and suggest that, both teams will find the back of the net.
