West Ham

vs

Fulham

Preview

West Ham

• West Ham are undefeated in five matches (W4, D1), winning each of their last three games.
• Nuno Espirito Santo's West Ham have won four of their last five matches in all competitions (D1), arriving on Tuesday on a 3-game winning streak.

Fulham

• Fulham have lost their last two matches and have won just two of their last five in all competitions.
• The Cottagers have been wobbling slightly in recent weeks, losing two of their last four games and picking up just two wins from their last five.

Head-to-Head

• West Ham have been in blistering form across all fronts this term, losing just one of their ten games to date (W5, D4) but Fulham have a fantastic record at this ground, winning two of their last three visits to face The Irons.
• West Ham, on the other hand, have been playing as a compact, structure-first side under Nuno Espirito Santo, where the team's structure and transitions are the primary focus.

Betting Insights

• Fulham are the slight favorites at 2.18, while the draw is priced up at 3.55 and West Ham are 3.05.
• At odds-against, over 2.5 goals looks a solid play in this cup tie, while both teams to score also looks a good option at 1.55.

Prediction

• As a result, I don't think Fulham are overly short here considering the head-to-head.
• However, West Ham look the more settled of the two sides and they have been much the better side so far this term, so we could see an upset.
