Fulham vs West Brom Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Fulham vs West Brom
England - Premier League
Date: Monday, November 2, 2024
Starts at 17pm UK / 30pm CET
Location: Craven Cottage.

Both teams have just reached the top flight and have understandably found it difficult so far to contend with experienced sides in arguably the most competitive league on the continent.

Neither of these teams have yet to claim their first league victory in 2024-21 and, shamefully, these two sides have conceded the most goals so far in the competition.

In fact, in their combined twelve games so far this season, the two teams have conceded a total of 28 goals.

Suffice it to say, the future doesn't look promising for either team, and with the tournament slowly picking up pace, both sides are in a panic. They don't want to be left behind and at no cost want to be relegated to the Championship.

A win is imperative at all costs for these teams, and this upcoming meeting could be the only time in the season when these two teams would not be classified as big losers.

Both the Cottagers and Baggies are expected to be on equal footing not only because of their similar stats but also because of their familiarity with the league.

As such, expect desperate and hard-fought goals from both teams this Monday.

Fulham vs West Brom: Prediction

Scott Parker's charges lost 1-2 at home in the last round, against Crystal Palace. Meanwhile, Slaven Bilic's men drew 1-1 at home to West Brom.

Going forward, the Cottagers have lost all but one of their league games so far, and have not kept a single clean sheet in the process. At home, they had lost four of their five previous matches and conceded two or more goals in all those matches.

On the other hand, their rivals have not won in 12 of the previous 13 general meetings, with the only victory in this period coming against a team from the fourth tier of the English football hierarchy.

In addition, the Baggies have also conceded two or more goals in seven of their previous eleven total meetings, and have only won once away from home in the last eight months.

Therefore, it is a fact that the defense is a big problem for both teams. Furthermore, for the past eight years, every h2h match has ended with goals from both teams.

With both teams likely desperate for a win, we can expect a high scoring thriller in this week's game at Craven Cottage.
