Match Analysis: Fulham vs West Ham

90-Minute Handicap: 0 : 1/2

Total Goals: 2 3/4

Fulham enter this London derby against West Ham at Craven Cottage in high spirits following three consecutive victories across all competitions. After overcoming Stoke in the FA Cup and defeating Sunderland, Marco Silva's side made another statement with a 2-1 win over Tottenham, climbing to ninth place in the standings. At home this season, Fulham have scored 22 goals, accounting for 58% of their total goals, averaging 1.69 goals per match while conceding 1.23 per game. They rank joint-seventh for home goals scored and tenth for fewest goals conceded at their own ground.

Harry Wilson and Raul Jimenez are the key attacking threats, each with 8 goals, providing balance to the frontline. Notably, Fulham are one of only three teams yet to receive a red card after 27 rounds, highlighting their disciplined approach. In the last nine meetings between these sides, Fulham have averaged 1.44 goals per game, slightly above their seasonal average. They have also won three of the last five encounters, including a 1-0 victory over West Ham in the reverse fixture in December 2025.

On the other side, West Ham are coming off a heavy 5-2 defeat to Liverpool, which ended their three-match unbeaten run in the Premier League. They have managed only six wins in 27 rounds, placing them among the three teams with the fewest victories, and they continue to struggle near the bottom of the table. The Hammers' away form is also unimpressive, having scored 15 goals (averaging 1.15 per match) but conceding 1.69 per game, ranking joint-14th for most goals conceded on the road.

Jarrod Bowen is a rare bright spot with 8 goals, but West Ham's defensive system is among the most porous in the league, having allowed opponents 397 shots. Although they are unbeaten in five of their last six Premier League matches, their record in London derbies this season offers little encouragement, having lost seven of eight such fixtures. With strong form, home advantage, and an attack in rhythm, Fulham are considered slight favorites to secure a second consecutive victory against their city rivals.
