Fulham vs. Tottenham: Preview and betting tips

Monday night will offer a small London derby between Fulham and Tottenham. Surprisingly, only two points and two places separate the two clubs, so there is a lot to look forward to. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Fulham are even more comfortable since the World Cup than in the autumn. Five wins from six games, scalp of Chelsea or Leicester and a jump to seventh place in the table. Up to 11th. Aston Villa, however, is still only four points.

Tottenham are only slightly better off. Three losses in the last four rounds are noticeable and Spurs are only holding on to fifth place thanks to the terrible performances of the other giants – Chelsea and Liverpool. Only a two-point cushion on seventh-placed Fulham.

Fulham’s key figures

Fulham have relied on goals from Aleksandar Mitrovic, the Serbian striker and last year’s Championship top scorer has scored on 11 occasions and assisted twice. Right-back Kenny Tete is a court assistant, having assisted on four goals so far.

Tottenham’s key figures

Tottenham rely on Harry Kane’s goals, the England striker has scored 17 goals and assisted on three. Left-footed winger Dejan Kulusevski showed off his goalscoring prowess against the Citizens after returning from illness, netting two goals and assisting five times in total.

Fulham’s defense has been working especially well since the World Cup in Qatar. Although Mitrovic is not in such a phase, three goals conceded in six games is enough compensation. Three of them were even clean sheets.

On the other hand, the Spurs are on the move up front. They have scored 39 goals, the most in the Premier League after Arsenal and Manchester City. They have struck twice or more in five of their last eight games.

Given the form of Kane and Spurs’ offense overall (excluding Heung Min Son), as well as the season-long form of Fulham’s attack, I think we’ll see an attacking game in which both teams score.
