West Ham United welcome the visitors Fulham in the English Premiere League – Round 27. The match will be held on Friday, February, 22th, at the Olympic Stadium (London).
West Ham United are solid middle-classers and homeplayers at most, though they can present a challenge out as well. The team drawed their last two matches with the same scoreline of 1:1. The stalemate against Liverpool, yet at home, is worth a lot. The Merseysiders have been desperately fighting for the gold medals against Manchester City, and the ‘Hammers’ had to play back in that match. Sadio Mane scored an opener, and Michail Antonio made an equalizer, so, the draw turned tight and character indeed. As for West Ham’s clash with Crystal Palace, they must feel sorry for the outcome – the ‘Hammers’ were ahead for a long time after the penalty converted by Mark Noble and allowed 15 minutes before the whistle from Wilfried Zaha; even after the goal though, Manuel Pellegrini’s men fashioned opportunities.

Fulham are hopeless Premiere League outsiders, they take the second last 19th place in the table, running ahead of Huddersfield Town. In the new calendar year, the side registered a solitude 4:2 win over Brighton & Hove Albion; Claudio Ranieri’s troops were losing 0:2 after the first half-time, while in the second one, they shipped goals to the opponent. Aleksandar Mitrovic has bragged a brace then, Calum Chambers and Lucian Vietto netted 1 goal each. But that clash was the only bright spot in Fulham’s record. It seems the team have exhausted all their goals in that encounter. Afterwards, the ‘Cottagers’ suffered two losses – to Crystal Palace, 0:2, and to Manchester United, 0:3. Both defeats were up to the point, however, Fulham will hardly be blamed for the loss to the ‘Red Devils’, as under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, the latter have been extremely great domestically and dropped points in only one fixture.
The ‘Hammers’ are a very solid middle-class outfit with a blistering home record; they will create many chances and will net at least once. The guests are unlikely to score on Friday, they don’t have many strikers apart from Mitrovic, and he won’t be able to fight on his own; also, we are not sure if his colleagues manage to create a proper opportunity for him. In contrast, the homeside boast forwards. The ‘Hammers’ are not much motivated in terms of the standings now, but Fulham are very miserable; moreover, Sergio Rico often allows simple goals, not playing safe. West Ham will probably win on Friday.
Prediction for the match: West Ham United to win home.
