Fulham vs Liverpool predictions & betting tips
Discover why the Reds' perfect away record of 10 wins and 5 draws this season makes them strong favorites as they travel to Craven Cottage for a crucial Premier League clash against an improved Fulham side.
Fulham face a daunting task this Sunday as they welcome league leaders Liverpool to Craven Cottage for a highly anticipated Premier League showdown. Liverpool, commanding the top of the table with 70 points, are clear favourites against eighth-placed Fulham, who sit on 45 points. Yet, for the hosts, this fixture is about more than just points—it’s a chance to showcase their progress and potentially derail Liverpool’s title charge.
The visitors arrive in imperious form, with four wins from their last five matches. Their away record underlines their dominance, with 10 wins and five draws this season, averaging 2.1 goals per game on their travels. Fulham, by contrast, have struggled for consistency, securing just one win in their last five outings and averaging 1.32 goals per game at home. Adding to their challenge, the Cottagers have failed to score in three of their 15 home matches, placing extra responsibility on Raul Jimenez, their leading scorer with 10 goals, to breach Liverpool’s resolute defence.
History favours Liverpool, who have triumphed in 22 of their last 37 meetings with Fulham. The Cottagers haven’t beaten the Reds at home since 2011, a record they’ll be desperate to overturn. However, their most recent encounter ended in a 2-2 draw, offering a glimmer of hope that Fulham can compete with the league’s elite. Still, Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah, the league’s top scorer with 27 goals, remains a constant menace and could once again prove decisive.
The stakes are immense as the match looms. Liverpool will look to tighten their grip on the title race, while Fulham aim to close the seven-point gap to the European spots and end their winless streak against the Reds. Can Fulham defy the odds, or will Liverpool’s dominance continue? Craven Cottage is set for a thrilling Sunday spectacle.

Betting Predictions
Primary Bet:Away Win @ 83/100
Liverpool’s impressive away form this season and their strong historical record against Fulham make the "away win" an excellent betting option. Liverpool have triumphed in 22 of their last 37 meetings with Fulham and remain unbeaten on the road this season, boasting 10 wins and 5 draws. Fulham, on the other hand, have struggled in recent Premier League encounters with Liverpool, failing to secure a win in their last five clashes. While Liverpool recently suffered a setback, their prior three-match winning streak in the league underlines their strong form. Fulham’s inconsistency at home, including failing to score in 3 of their 15 matches, further tilts the balance in favour of the visitors.
Secondary Bet:Over 2.5 Goals @ 4/5
The secondary bet on "over 2.5 goals" is supported by the attacking nature of past fixtures between these sides, which average four goals per match. Liverpool have been prolific in these encounters, averaging 2.4 goals per game, while Fulham contribute an average of 1.6 goals. Both teams have shown defensive frailties of late, increasing the likelihood of a high-scoring affair. With a calculated probability of 78.11% for over 2.5 goals, the odds of 4/5 offer strong value for those anticipating an open and attacking contest.
