Fulham vs Sunderland betting tips and summary
Fulham to win – Home favourites
Under 3.5 goals – two low-scoring sides, Sunderland have scored three goals in five away matches
Jimenez to have a shot on target – landed twice in the last three
Fulham welcome high-flying Sunderland to Craven Cottage this Saturday afternoon, with the hosts just one point above the English Premier League relegation zone.
Only rock-bottom Wolves have picked up fewer than Fulham’s three points in the last five gameweeks, which has the Cottagers now facing the prospect of dropping into the bottom three if results go against them this weekend.
Despite this, Fulham have picked up ten points from their opening five home games, conceding only three goals in the process.
Tension has grown off the pitch for Fulham too, with manager Marco Silva showing little intent of signing an extension to a contract that is set to expire at the end of the season.
The visitors will be looking to continue their dream start to life back in the EPL, as the Black Cats currently occupy fourth in the league.
Sunderland, despite only scoring three goals in five away trips, have snatched seven points on the road, including an impressive last-minute winner at Chelsea.
Sunderland summer signing Robin Roefs has the highest save percentage (79.6%) in the league, and only Burnley’s Martin Dubravka has made more saves per 90 minutes, a crucial reason for the Black Cats’ early success.
While Fulham will see this as an excellent opportunity to claw away from the bottom three, Sunderland has proven that they fear no one in this league, leading to an interesting contest this week.
