West Ham United vs Fulham

, KO: 14:00 Apr 14, 2024, London Stadium
Fulham

An exciting London derby could be on the cards as West Ham host Fulham in a Premier League fixture on Sunday. Neither side has been at their best lately, particularly defensively, which means goals could be expected here.

West Ham are going through a rough patch as they have picked up just one win from their last five matches across all competitions. Their push for a European finish appears to have stalled as they sit seventh on the standings 12 points off the top five.

The only win for West Ham in their poor run came last weekend as they triumphed 2-1 at Wolverhampton Wanderers. However, they followed that up with a 2-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen in their Europa League quarter-final first leg.

West Ham have also found things difficult at home, with just one win from their last seven Premier League matches in front of their fans. David Moyes’ men often struggle to keep things tight at the back and are without a clean sheet in their last six home matches.

Fulham are also going through a poor run of form, claiming just one win from their last five Premier League matches. Marco Silva’s men remain in the bottom half of the standings, four points behind 10th placed Newcastle United.

The Cottagers have been particularly poor in the last few weeks, losing their last two Premier League matches. First they were beaten 3-1 at Nottingham Forest before suffering a 1-0 home defeat to Newcastle United last time out.

Fulham have also struggled on their travels with just one win in their last seven Premier League away matches. Like West Ham, they have also been defensively vulnerable on the road, keeping just one clean sheet in that run while conceding six goals in the last two away fixtures.

How the bookies view it

West Ham have the upper hand among the bookies and are priced at 29/20 by 10bet to claim the win. A victory for Fulham is valued at 39/20 by Unibet while a draw is set at odds of 11/4 by William Hill.

Head to head

West Ham have a 24-14 advantage with 10 draws from 48 previous matches against Fulham. The Cottagers ran out 5-0 winners in the reverse fixture but West Ham have won the last six meetings at home.

Players to watch

Jarrod Bowen often carries the goal threat for West Ham and is their leading scorer with 15 Premier League goals. The forward could be worth keeping an eye on to score anytime on Sunday at 2/1 with bet365.

As always Fulham will look to Rodrigo Muniz to provide the spark in attack having found the net eight times in his last 10 Premier League matches. The striker is priced at 21/10 by Paddy Power to maintain his scoring run.

Anything else catch the eye?

With both teams unconvincing at the back but showing quality in attack, goals could be expected here. Over 4.5 goals is priced at 19/5 with Paddy Power while bet365 is offering 13/8 on over 3.5 goals.
