Fulham vs Leicester Prediction

Fulham Form

Fulham are currently performing inconsistently, as they lost against Manchester City by a 0-4 score, before winning 2-4 against Luton. They were back on the losing side in a 1-0 defeat against Manchester United. Fulham only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent Premier League matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew one and lost three, as they scored eight and conceded nine goals.

Fulham go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in an international competition.

Leicester Form

Leicester achieved a win, a loss and a draw in their previous three matches, starting off beating Preston 0-3. A 0-2 defeat against Blackburn followed, before drawing with Tottenham in a match resulting 1-1. Leicester didn't manage a single away win in their last six Premier League matches, but managed three draws, while suffering three defeats. They conceded 12 and scored seven goals themselves.

Fulham go into the season with the clear aim of a top half finish, perhaps even contesting for a place in an international competition.

For whatever reason, Leicester and Fulham usually find goals tough to come by, when facing each other, and history makes under 2.5 goals our call here.
