Fulham take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 37 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Saturday, April 11th at Craven Cottage (London).
Fulham are a solid mid-table team in the current Premier League season. The Londoners are in 13th place in the table, not aiming for high positions, but also comfortably staying away from the struggle at the bottom of the table. As befits mid-table teams like the Cottagers, the team is inconsistent, alternating between successful matches and disappointing ones. In this situation, we are specifically interested in Fulham's scoring ability. And in that regard, Mark Silva's team is doing well - they managed to score 51 goals in 36 league matches. In three out of the last four league matches, the Cottagers breached the opponents' defense, scoring against Crystal Palace (1-1), West Ham (2-0), and Liverpool (1-3).

I think Manchester City will concede at least one goal from Fulham. Yes, they are one of the strongest teams in the world right now. But Pep Guardiola's proteges haven't kept a clean sheet very often in the Premier League this season, as expected from the main contender for the gold medals. Only 11 times in 35 league matches have the Citizens kept their goal intact. In the other 24 matches, Manchester City suffered two goalless defeats and one goalless draw. And in 21 matches involving Manchester City, it turns out that the Both Teams to Score bet was successful. Even when the team dominates opponents, they still concede at least one goal. Like in matches against West Ham (5-1) or Luton Town (5-1).
The visitors are obvious favorites, that's clear to everyone. They cannot afford to slip up, and they are 99% likely to defeat Fulham. But I don't want to try predicting the handicap or the total goals in this match. I believe it's much easier and calmer to bet on Both Teams to Score. Few doubt that Manchester City will score at least one goal. But the Cottagers are also quite capable of breaching the not-so-perfect and sometimes guilty defense of the favorite. In the last four head-to-head matches against this opponent, Fulham suffered four defeats but never ended up without scoring a goal (1-4, 1-2, 1-2, 1-5). My prediction is Both Teams to Score.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score – yes.
