Fulham take on the visitors Chelsea in the postponed round 7 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Thursday, January 12th at Craven Cottage (London).
Fulham are working to get rid of the hateful status of the "football lift". In general, the Cottagers can be satisfied, especially Aleksandar Mitrovic, who finally began to score a lot in the Premier League. Due to the goals of the Serbian scorer, the newcomer of the division managed to actively collect points. As a result, now the Cottagers have quite good chances to compete for European cups. Out of 18 championship meetings, 8 were won and 28 points were taken. And after a long pause, it turns out to demonstrate a 100% indicator in the Premier League at all - 3-0 with Crystal Palace, 2-1 with Southampton, 1-0 with Leicester! The team even managed to move up to the 7th, European Cup place - but will it be possible to stay there? At the same time, the struggle continues in the cup, however, the modest “Hull” was the last opponent there, which they beat 2-0.

Chelsea are active in the transfer market. It turned out quite quickly to close the deal on the next defender, Badiashil. And a lot of energy was spent on trading with Benfica for Enzo Fernandez. Everything was obvious: at the start of the new calendar year, the Blues fell to the very middle of the standings. The change of mentor did not help either. Yes, Tuchel's dismissal was not surprising, because he failed the start of the season. But Potter also had one really good stretch, in the middle of autumn. Even in the winter, after a long break, after a solid 2-0 against newcomer Bournemouth, Graham's men managed to lose points again with another team, who recent rosen from the Championship, Nottingham Forest. And then there were just 2 fights in a row with City. If the Blues looked decent in the Premier League, but still conceded once after the combination of Grealish - Mahrez, then on Sunday there were already a devastating 4-0 in favor of the Citizens.
Fulham last won full-time confrontation back in 2006. Moreover, all 7 recent duels ended invariably with Chelsea victories. Bookies don’t believe in the hosts, but it seems that now the wards of Marco Silva are definitely no worse than the wards of Graham Potter, who in recent weeks have been able to beat only the crisis Bournemouth. We recommend betting on the fact that the Cottagers in their field will be able not to lose to their star neighbor on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: Fulham not to lose (1X).
