Fulham hosts Leicester City in round 22 of the English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, February 3rd at Craven Cottage (London)
Having risen to the elite division of the country last time, Fulham was immediately relegated back to the Championship. It is more than possible that the same negative scenario awaits the modest London team once again. But at the same time, Scott Parker and his team can be praised - it was able to please with its combat-ready character and desire to continue the fight. In the last two rounds, the Cottagers managed to gain at least draws. Perhaps they would like to achieve more than a draw in the away match against Brighton, but even those 0-0 can be considered an acceptable result. Fulham also shared points with its pursuer, West Bromwich. On January 30, the sides exchanged goals and alternately outscored, but the match ended in a 2-2 draw.

Leicester suddenly faltered in the last round. The Foxes were clearly motivated to gain victory at King Power, hosting Leeds on Sunday night. Moreover, they managed to open the scoring – Barnes (after Maddison's pass) sent the ball to Melier's net already in the 13th minute. But Dallas was able to level the score very quickly, and Patrick became the hero of the match at the end. He scored himself in the 70th minute and assisted Harrison in the 84th. By and large, nothing critical for Brendan Rogers' charges happened since Leicester remained in the Champions League zone. But, firstly, it interrupted its pleasant streak without defeats - it lasted seven rounds of the Premier League in a row. Secondly, the Foxes earned only one point in the last two matches (before the defeat to Leeds, there was a 1-1 draw with Everton), and the competitors took advantage of these failures. Now Leicester needs to prove that a one-time misfire will not turn into a full-fledged recession.
Fulham has played well against Leicester lately. The Cottagers gained a draw in their last season in the Premier League and sensationally won at King Power this year. Leicester simply must respond to its failures, and besides, it needs to take revenge upon the Cottagers. We recommend betting that Brendan Rogers' charges will win away.
Prediction for the match: Leicester to win
