Fulham take on the visitors Southampton at “Craven Cottage” in the match of the 1/32 stage of the English FA Cup. The game will be played in London on Saturday, January 6th.
Fulham sit in the middle of the Championship’s table, having no chances left for promotion to the Premier League. The team cannot show its best football in face of its supporters now, having taken only 21 points in 13 home encounters. The club’s attack demonstrates nice effectiveness, having scored 17 goals while its defense is also worth praising for having conceded only 13 goals. In the latest battles conducted at “Craven Cottage” Fulham have beaten Ipswich 4:1, Barnsley 2:1 and Birmingham 1:0 which is the evidence the team’s great shape at this point.

Southampton are fighting now for not being relegated from the Premier League. The side has won only one out of 10 away matches with five defeats gained in them. At the moment the club’s offense stays in a poor form as it has scored only seven goals while its defense has conceded 15 goals. In the latest fights played on the road the side earned 0:0 draw against Manchester United, 2:5 loss to Tottenham and 0:1 failure against Chelsea.
It is difficult to define the favourite of the upcoming game as even though the rivals perform in different divisions, their level is approximately the same. Last time the sides met in 2014 with 3:0 victory gained by Southampton then. However, “The Cottagers” will host the clash and at least shouldn’t fail in it.
Prediction for the match: Fulham to win with +0.5 Asian handicap (1X).
