Fulham vs Liverpool: Prediction, Odds & Betting Tips

🏆 Fulham vs Liverpool EPL Prediction

These two teams contested a seven-goal thriller at Anfield on December 3rd, with Liverpool emerging as 4-3 winners thanks to a late Trent Alexander-Arnold winner. Incredibly, these goals came from a combined xG of just 4.24, with Alexis Mac Allister, Wataru Endo and Alexander-Arnold all scoring superbly from range.

Liverpool were typically chaotic that day, missing a number of easier chances throughout the 90 minutes. This has been a key and potentially decisive trend for the Reds all season, as although they’ve accumulated the highest xG in the 2023/24 campaign (78.77), they’ve underperformed this by -6.77 goals.

The Reds’ wastefulness in front of goal has also seen them miss a league-high 66 big chances this season, while the squad has looked jaded in recent weeks after a hectic schedule. So, although no side has completed more than Liverpool’s 1726 ball recoveries, they may find it hard to successfully press a Fulham side that’s always comfortable in possession.

In fact, the Cottagers average 51.20% possession per 90 minutes in the EPL and have already beaten Arsenal, Spurs and Brighton at home in 2023/24. They’ll also be fresh and have a fully-fit squad at the time of writing, so I’m tipping them to edge a competitive game and strike another blow to Liverpool’s title challenge.

1️⃣ Fulham Update

Not only do Fulham have the seventh-best home record in the 2023/24 Premier League, but they also sit seventh in the EPL form table over the course of the previous 10 Gameweeks. Marco Silva’s men have taken 16 points from the 30 available to them during this period, despite losing three of their last six games overall. Fulham have also successfully completed 49.30% of their total take-ons this season (they rank third according to this metric), with players like Alex Iwobi and William as particularly effective dribblers. Both players will look to commit Liverpool defenders in transition and could directly threaten the Reds’ high defensive line.

At the time of writing, Fulham have no injury concerns or suspensions ahead of the visit of Liverpool. This will afford them the best possible chance of beating the Reds and earning a 10th home victory of the campaign.

2️⃣ Liverpool Update

Liverpool’s EPL form has stuttered at the worst possible time, against the backdrop of a packed fixture schedule and the emotion surrounding Jurgen Klopp’s impending departure. Most recently, they’ve dropped seven points from the previous 15 available to them in the league, with draws against both Manchester clubs and the shock home defeat to Palace leaving them third in the table. The Reds have now dropped to third in the form table too, having taken 20 points from the previous 30 available to them and lost twice in 10 games. Title rivals Arsenal (25) and Manchester City (24) have both earned more points during this period.

The good news for Liverpool is that their previous injury crisis has eased, with Trent Alexander-Arnold, Diogo Jota and Alisson have all returned to first-team action. However, young full back Conor Bradley has sustained and ankle injury that will keep him sidelined until May. Both Thiago (thigh injury) and Joel Matip (knee) have already been ruled out for the season, with the latter not expected to return to training until September.
