Fulham vs Liverpool prediction: ENGLAND: Premier League betting tips on match 2025-04-05 13:00.
[p]Fulham hit form at the start of February, winning five of their six games (L1) to put them right in contention for a European place, but things have since taken a turn for the worse. Marco Silva’s men have exited the FA Cup and lost two of their three Premier League fixtures (W1), going down 2-1 to Arsenal in midweek which left them in ninth-place ahead of the round and fighting to grab a place in continental competition next season.[/p]
[p]While they’re in no relegation danger whatsoever, the Cottagers might struggle to close the yawning gap to the European spots, with a third straight season of mid-table mediocrity now looking the most likely outcome. Securing a second top-half finish from the last three Premier League campaigns is still a realistic aim for the rest of the season – a quest which resumes against Liverpool – though the fact Fulham are winless in their last 11 Premier League meetings against teams starting the day top of the table (D1, L10) doesn’t make for great reading here.[/p]
[p]Table-topping Liverpool took a massive leap towards the title when they beat Merseyside rivals Everton for the 100th time in midweek, maintaining their 12-point advantage over Arsenal before the round. It now only seems a matter of time before Liverpool secure their record-equalling 20th English top-flight crown, and supporters will now be looking for the earliest date they can wrap up the title. [/p]
[p]Boss Arne Slot won’t be looking that far ahead yet, and will instead be focused on securing three more points here in the capital after winning their last three league games in London. Not since the 2020/21 season have they won four top-flight matches in a row in these parts, but with Liverpool losing just one of their last 15 encounters with Fulham (W10, D4), that four-year wait could well come to an end here.[/p]
[p]Players to watch: Fulham’s Rodrigo Muniz has proven he’s up for the big occasion with goals against City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Liverpool this season, and he’s often a threat later on, with 11 of his last 13 goals coming after half-time. Diogo Jota scored the late equaliser for Liverpool in the reverse fixture and netted the winner against Everton in midweek, continuing his astonishing record of avoiding defeat in 53 of his 54 goalscoring appearances for the Reds (W46, D7, L1).[/p]
[p]Hot stat: Both teams have scored in nine of the last ten H2Hs at Craven Cottage. [/p]
