Fulham vs Everton prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2024-01-29 19:45.
[p]A much-changed Fulham side were beaten at home 2-0 by Newcastle on Saturday evening in the FA Cup, and now they return to Craven Cottage to welcome Everton whilst looking to halt an increasingly concerning run of no wins in four competitive outings (D1, L3). Admittedly, on top of the game against the European-chasing Toon, the Cottagers also faced stiff competition in the form of Liverpool and Chelsea during that tricky period.[/p]
[p]For that reason, they will hope this clash against Premier League strugglers Everton can bring about a change in fortunes, especially as they’ve already beaten the Toffees twice on the road this season (1-0 in the league and via a penalty shoot following a 1-1 draw in the Carabao Cup). That Premier League success on the opening day remains Fulham’s last on the road, with all six of their most recent league wins coming in front of their home fans. [/p]
[p]Everton will travel south knowing they would have been above their hosts had it not been for November’s ten-point deduction. Instead, they have to contend with being in 17th and seven points behind the London side. If that’s not enough of a mental irritation to overcome, they’ll also come into the game on the back of a big psychological blow as Luton – one point and place below – netted a 95th-minute winner to beat them 2-1 at Goodison Park this past weekend in FA Cup action. [/p]
[p]That ended an unbeaten start (W1, D2) to 2024 for Sean Dyche’s side, but they might feel a return to road action can be key to getting back to winning ways. After all, only the current top two coming into the round – Liverpool (six) and Manchester City (seven) – have won more Premier League away games than Everton (five), although their last two league trips ended in defeat (3-0 Wolves and 2-1 Tottenham). [/p]
[p]Key battle: Against no other side has Fulham’s Raúl Jiménez scored more Premier League goals than he has against Everton (five). Expected to return to the Toffee’s XI, Jordan Pickford comes into the round with no other shot-stopper having kept more Premier League clean sheets this season (seven). [/p]
[p]Hot stat: In their 30th shared top-flight campaign, Fulham are looking to complete the league double over Everton for the very first time.[/p]
