Manchester City vs Fulham Preview

Manchester City

Man City’s flawless start to the Premier League season came to a halt with back-to-back draws against Arsenal and Newcastle. Despite leading at halftime against the Magpies, a second-half penalty by Anthony Gordon resulted in a 1-1 draw.

However, City quickly bounced back in the Champions League with a 4-0 win over Slovan Bratislava. As anticipated, the Cityzens had the initiative during the entire match and demolished their opponents.

The most significant setback for City is Rodri’s season-ending injury. The Spanish midfielder is perhaps the most important player in City’s squad and finding a replacement for him is a headache for Pep Guardiola. With both Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne sidelined, City are missing a significant part of their usual creativity and control in the attacking third.

Fulham

After losing against Manchester United in the opening round, Fulham won three and drew two matches in the Premier League. With 11 points they sit sixth in the table and Marco Silva managed to form a balanced and organized squad.

Fulham’s defensive consistency has been a trademark of the team so far. The Cottagers conceded only five goals, and the midfield also supports the back side effectively. 

While Fulham may not create an abundance of chances, they are highly efficient at converting the ones they do get. Adama Traore’s speed combined with Emile Smith Rowe’s intelligence and Raul Jimenez’s finishing, should certainly alert Man City’s defenders.

Manchester City vs Fulham Prediction

  • Pick: Man City to Win (-1.5) Handicap
  • Odds: 1.72 (22Bet)
  • Score prediction: Manchester City 3-1 Fulham

Manchester City have a dominant head-to-head advantage over Fulham, having won 16 consecutive matches since 2012. Most of the victories were with a handicap, and City frequently kept clean sheets against the Cottagers.

Despite Fulham’s good start, we think that they are not a match for Man City, who will look forward to bounce back after two draws. While Fulham may attempt to impose themselves early on, it’s difficult to imagine them preventing City from finding the back of the net.

Given the stats of H2H games and City’s dominant performance, we think that at the Etihad they will squeeze the initiative from the first minute. Expect the hosts to win with a handicap (-1.5).

Manchester City vs Fulham Prediction, Betting Tip

  • Pick: Over 2.5 Goals
  • Odds: 1.41 (22Bet)

The previous six H2H matches between City and Fulham ended with at least three goals scored. We think that the same will happen in this match. The Cityzens are playing at home and they won’t stop at 1-2 goals only.

On the other hand, the hosts concede regularly this season. Apart from the game against Chelsea in the first round, they failed to keep a clean sheet in successive matches, which leads us to believe that the Cottagers will also get chances on counterattacks. 

Erling Haaland failed to score in his sixth consecutive Premier League fixture, but statistically, Fulham is one of his favourite teams. The Norwegian scored five times in four matches and will be looking to increase his tally. On the opposing side, Raul Jimenez will try to score his fourth goal. Our pick would be over 2.5 goals in this game.
