Fulham vs Manchester City Predictions
Fulham’s home confidence and scoring form offer a genuine test
Fulham step into this match with a sense of momentum after winning three of their last four league games. Saturday’s 2-1 victory away at Tottenham underlined a growing confidence, particularly in their attacking rhythm. While that was their first away win of the season, the more important trend lies at Craven Cottage: 13 of their 17 points have come at home, and their only defeat there was a narrow one to Premier League leaders Arsenal.
Let’s look at why that matters. Fulham have developed a habit of staying competitive in front of their supporters, keeping matches tight and finding moments to hurt opponents. That home resilience, combined with recent wins, suggests they won’t simply sit back against City. Marco Silva’s side have shown enough attacking balance to trouble teams, and with City conceding in six of their last nine away matches, the hosts may well find spaces again.
What does that mean for the bet? Fulham’s form points to their ability to score even if City ultimately take control. Their improved confidence at home, plus City’s defensive lapses on the road, supports the expectation of both teams finding the net.
Tip: Manchester City & Both Teams to Score ( at N/A)
City’s long winning streak suggests control, but narrow margins remain likely
City’s dominance over Fulham is remarkable: 18 wins in a row in this fixture and 15 straight Premier League victories — the longest run against a single opponent in competition history. Their last defeat to Fulham came in April 2009, and it has been more than 20 years since the Cottagers beat them at Craven Cottage. That trend tells its own story.
Yet here’s where things get interesting. Guardiola’s side may have won 3-2 at home to struggling Leeds on Saturday, but the 91st-minute winner from Phil Foden highlighted an unconvincing display following back-to-back defeats. City remain reliable scorers — they’ve found the net in nine of their 10 away matches this season — but keeping control for 90 minutes has been an issue. They’ve kept only three clean sheets in their last nine away fixtures in all competitions, and one of those came against League One Huddersfield in the EFL Cup.
So what does that imply for this matchup? City’s firepower means they are likely to edge the contest, but their difficulty in closing out matches away from home limits expectations of a big margin. Their recent trend of narrow victories away makes a tight 2-1 result a realistic scenario.
Tip: Manchester City 2-1 ( at N/A)
