Fulham take on the visitors Tottenham in the round 29 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Sunday, March 16th at Craven Cottage (London).
Fulham has been solid in the Premier League but aims for more. The Cottagers have played well in the Premier League for three straight seasons, yet they remain a mid-table side. However, despite losing key players, they have an outside chance of securing a European spot this season. At the moment, though, Fulham sits five points away from the qualification zone, and last weekend’s 2-1 away defeat to Brighton dealt a blow to their continental ambitions. Marco Silva’s men still have an alternative route through the FA Cup, but after beating Manchester United 2-1 via penalties, they are only at the quarterfinal stage for now. The upcoming London derby against Tottenham will be a crucial test of their ambitions—whether they can push beyond their current 10th-place standing in the league. On the injury front, things are not too bad: Nelson, Tete, and Wilson have been out for a while, while Traoré remains a doubt. Additionally, recent home form suggests they are capable of taking points off top-six sides.

Tottenham are in an even worse position in the Premier League, but much of their season has been plagued by injuries, with a long list of absentees disrupting Ange Postecoglou’s plans. After rescuing a 2-2 draw at home against Bournemouth despite being 2-0 down, Tottenham currently sits in 13th place—a position that effectively rules out European qualification through the league after a disappointing first half of the season. However, they are still fighting in the Europa League, where they advanced to the quarterfinals on Thursday. Following a 1-0 away loss to AZ Alkmaar, Postecoglou’s side responded at home with a 3-1 win, capitalizing on defensive errors from their opponents. Given their standing in the league, it now seems that the Europa League is their top priority, with the domestic competition serving more as a platform for players returning from injury to regain form. Kulusevski, Danso, Dragusin, and Richarlison remain sidelined, while backup goalkeeper Kinski is doubtful. Despite the struggles, Tottenham’s attack has remained aggressive, and they are capable of turning games around.
This has all the makings of a high-scoring clash, as both teams prefer attacking football over defensive solidity. Tottenham seems to be in a relaxed phase in the Premier League, while Fulham is still pushing for European qualification and will look to dominate at Craven Cottage. Their last meeting here ended in a 3-0 win for Fulham last season, and this time, the over 2.5 goals market looks like the best bet, with both sides expected to contribute.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
