The stage is set for a Premier League clash as Fulham welcome Everton to Craven Cottage on Saturday, 10 May 2025. Both sides are embroiled in a tense mid-table battle, with Fulham sitting 11th on 51 points and Everton trailing in 14th with 39 points. Recent defeats for both teams have only added to the pressure, as Fulham aim to consolidate their position while Everton fight to steer clear of relegation danger.
Fulham come into the match with a slight edge in form, having secured two wins in their last five outings compared to Everton’s solitary victory in the same period. On home turf, Fulham’s attacking threat is evident, averaging 1.48 goals per game, a stark contrast to Everton’s struggles on the road, where they manage just 0.91 goals per match. Adding to Fulham’s confidence is their superior goal difference of +3, while Everton’s -7 exposes their defensive frailties. Notably, Fulham have a knack for late goals, with 34% of their strikes coming in the final 15 minutes, a potential weapon against any lapses from the visitors.
Historically, Everton have had the upper hand in this rivalry, winning 19 of the last 40 meetings. However, recent trends favour Fulham, who are unbeaten in their last five encounters with the Toffees. The most common result at Craven Cottage is a 2-0 Fulham victory, a scoreline that could repeat if Everton fail to address their away form. Fulham’s last home win against Everton came in 2019, and their supporters will be eager for a repeat performance.
Key players could prove decisive, with Raul Jimenez spearheading Fulham’s attack and Iliman Ndiaye crucial for Everton. Jimenez has netted 10 goals this season, underlining his importance, while Ndiaye’s seven goals highlight his role in Everton’s survival bid. With both teams seeking a turning point, this clash promises drama, tension, and potentially season-defining moments.

Fulham have found the net in 14 of their 17 home fixtures this season, averaging 1.48 goals per match. Meanwhile, Everton have struggled defensively on their travels, conceding consistently.

Secondary bet:Both Teams to Score: Yes@ 10/11
The secondary bet, Both Teams to Score: Yes, is bolstered by Fulham's defensive vulnerabilities and historical scoring trends. Fulham average 1.2 goals per match against Everton, while Everton have managed to score 0.6 goals per game in this fixture.
