Fulham take on the visitors Sevilla in a club friendly. The match will be played on Monday, August 5th at Estádio Algarve (Faro/Loulé).
Fulham had a remarkable Premier League campaign by their standards last season: they collected 47 points and finished 13th in the table, staying 21 points clear of the relegation zone. During the offseason, the "Cottagers" made several impressive transfers, with the standout being the purchase of Smith Rowe from Arsenal for €32 million. Notably, Fulham's attack was strong last season, averaging 1.48 goals per Premier League match, which is quite decent for a mid-table team. However, they conceded significantly more, at 1.61 goals per game. Fulham won their first preseason friendly on August 2nd, defeating Benfica 1-0, with Iwobi, familiar to Everton and Arsenal fans, scoring the only goal in the 20th minute. Today, Fulham will host Sevilla, who have already gained good momentum. It is very likely that Fulham's second friendly will be more high-scoring.

Sevilla completely failed in the last season of La Liga: they collected only 41 points in 38 rounds. With such results, the "Nervionenses" finished only 14th in the standings, 8 points clear of the relegation zone. Sevilla changed their head coach during the offseason. In the second half of July, the "Nervionenses" played four friendlies: they first lost to Orlando Pirates and Sporting, then rebounded with clean-sheet wins against Al-Ittihad and Granada. Sevilla's squad was strengthened with several top players in the offseason: Iheanacho from Leicester and Saul from Atletico Madrid. The latter even scored in the match against Granada. Sevilla's attacking potential has always been significant, even in tough times, so a scoring drought is not expected from the Spanish giants.
However, betting on the result of this clash is not appealing. A much more attractive option is to bet on a high-scoring game. Fulham and Sevilla have received significant reinforcements during the offseason, so a highly productive match is likely. I recommend betting on over 2.5 goals for a good payout.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
