Key Stats & Analysis

Fulham secured another solid result at the weekend, beating Tottenham 2-1 to record their second consecutive victory following a 3-1 away win the week prior. Goals from Harry Wilson and Alex Iwobi kept Marco Silva’s side firmly in the conversation for European qualification.

At Craven Cottage, Fulham have been reliable. They have won four of their last six home matches, suffering just one defeat (to Everton) during that run. That places them seventh in the home form table this season.

There was a wobble through January and February when they lost four of five league matches, but recent performances suggest they are regaining consistency.

West Ham, meanwhile, were on the receiving end of a 5-2 defeat at Anfield. While heavy losses to Liverpool on Merseyside are hardly unprecedented, it ended a run of otherwise respectable results. Defeats to Chelsea and Liverpool, plus a draw against Manchester United, are fixtures most Hammers supporters would accept given the calibre of opposition.

Nuno Espírito Santo’s side endured a difficult spell around the turn of the year, particularly with AFCON absences disrupting their defensive structure. However, across the last six matches they have picked up two wins and two draws, placing them comfortably inside the top half of the recent form table.

Head-to-Head

Historically, this fixture leaned towards West Ham, but recent meetings have favoured Fulham. The Cottagers have recorded three wins and a draw in the last five encounters, including a commanding 5-0 victory at Craven Cottage in December 2023.

At Fulham specifically, West Ham have won two of the last five visits, alongside two draws and one Fulham win. The most recent meeting there ended in a 1-1 draw in September 2024.

Goals trends are mixed. Fulham’s recent Premier League matches have produced over 2.5 goals in six consecutive games. However, meetings between these sides at Craven Cottage have often been tighter, with six of the last seven finishing under 2.5 goals in all competitions.

Fulham vs West Ham betting angles

Both teams scoring looks the standout angle. Fulham have seen BTTS land in five straight home matches and in six of the last seven at Craven Cottage. West Ham’s away record also supports the play, with both sides scoring in seven of their last ten on the road.

There is also value in West Ham from a price perspective. While Fulham are strong at home, West Ham possess enough attacking threat to capitalise, particularly through Jarrod Bowen and Crysencio Summerville in transition.

For the bet builder, combining West Ham to win with both teams to score, plus over 1.5 cards in the match, offers a balanced approach. Cards are rarely scarce in either side’s fixtures, with over 1.5 cards landing in most of their games this season.

West Ham average around 4.5 corners per match away from home, so adding 4+ corners to the builder enhances the price. For those seeking a long-shot, West Ham to win the corner count alongside the other selections offers significant upside.
