Check out our prediction on Fulham vs Leicester City, a Premier League fixture that would heavily have influence on the latter if they succumbed to a defeat to the Cottagers.
Fulham may have won only one of their last five league home matches, but they are the favourites to win this match against Leicester because the Foxes are winless in their last six league away matches. Fulham have this horrid home record because they came up against the finest sides in the league [Man City & Arsenal] but the last time they hosted a struggling team like Leicester, they won 2-1 against Leeds United.
Marco Silva’s side will be without two important players in Andreas Pereira and Aleksander Mitrovic due to injury and suspension respectively and their absences have cost Fulham’s some matches. They lost 2-1 at home to Man City without Mitrovic and lost 1-0 to Liverpool away from home without Pereira. They may struggle to beat Leicester but their home advantage is good enough for them to win either half at least.
Fulham will be without a number of key players including Andreas Pereira and Aleksander Mitrovic. Their absences would heavily affect their performances for the remainder of the season but they could still be too strong for Leicester because Dean Smith’s side has not been in their best shape, given they have won only one of their last ten matches including Monday’s 2-2 draw against Everton.
