Fulham vs Southampton Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 8th March 2026

When Southampton come to Craven Cottage for the FA Cup match on Sunday, Fulham will be hoping to use their home advantage to their advantage.

Both Fulham and The Saints aim to show their respective set of fans they are the better side on Sunday, and we are bound to see an exciting game.

Fulham step into their next home match on Sunday having scored a nice average of 1.6 goals in ten matches. They managed a total of 16 goals, while also allowing 13 goals against. That is an average of 1.3 goals against per match. They were able to hang on to a clean sheet two times in those matches.

The Saints scored 19 goals, conceded 11 and managed three clean sheets in their previous ten matches.

The last time these two teams faced off against each other, Southampton came away as 0-1 winners. No doubt they are planning a similar outcome this coming Sunday.

Fulham vs Southampton Prediction

Fulham Form

In their last three matches, Fulham beat Sunderland by 1-3 and Tottenham by 2-1, before losing against West Ham by 0-1. Fulham managed a strong return of four wins from their previous six matches on home soil in the FA Cup. They drew none though, while losing twice in this series. They scored ten goals and conceded seven times.

Southampton Form

Southampton look well suited to take on any opponent as their last three matches ended with a draw and two wins. They started off drawing 1-1 with Charlton, before downing first Queens Park Rangers by 5-0, then Sheffield Wednesday in a 1-3 win. Southampton managed a decent return of three wins in their last six FA Cup away matches, in which they scored nine while also conceding ten times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Bookmakers have Fulham down as rather big favourites for the win, when Southampton arrive at Craven Cottage. While it might prove problematic, we still believe they will come through and deliver.
