Fulham (Home)
- Fulham will counter with a familiar, if flexible, setup - usually 4-2-3-1 or 4-3-3, where they set up to defend in a compact mid-block, look to make transitions wide when they win the ball and cause problems in set-pieces. Our Fulham vs Manchester City betting tips highlight how their approach could trouble the visitors on transitions.
- Raúl Jiménez is their focal point in attack, although Harry Wilson adds set-piece threat and long-range quality while Bernd Leno’s experience and the Andersen-Bassey central defensive partnership have helped Fulham’s resilience at home.
- Fulham have won two and lost three of their last five Premier League games, but boast a positive home record, with a 3-0 victory over Wolves at this venue their most recent outing.
- The Londoners are a hard team to crack at home and there will be an edge to this game for the visitors after two recent setbacks.
Manchester City (Away)
- This Fulham vs Manchester City prediction takes into account Manchester City’s possession-based, high-pressing game as a direct consequence of Pep Guardiola’s football philosophy, which is also the perfect vehicle for Erling Haaland’s goalscoring prowess and has evolved in recent weeks to incorporate a little more tempo and verticality.
- Guardiola’s side have begun to use the full backs in midfield more often, Haaland’s presence up front and the team’s ability to overload the wide areas making them a constant threat.
Head-to-Head
City have won the last four head-to-heads with Fulham, including a 4-0 victory at this ground in May, 2024.
