Fulham are in the relegation zone and need a 3rd win of the season at all costs.Southampton are in 7th place with 24 points and will want to edge closer to a place on the league table to qualify for Europe.
Fulham
After three straight draws, Fulham will try to win their next match as they host Southampton at Craven Cottage,London.The Cottagers are undefeated in their last two matches and are without a home win in their last three matches.They haven’t kept a clean sheet in five of their last six matches.They have also conceded two or more goals in 6 of their 15 matches in the league.
Manager Scott Parker has until Saturday to boost his team’s confidence and make sure his team has a better defensive performance.
Southampton
Southampton have gathered more points so far than in their 7 of the last 8 seasons in the League.The Saints have one clean sheet in their last six matches and scored two or more goals in seven of their last ten matches.They are a very solid side and play good football but with their top scorer Danny Ings missing,can the likes of Theo Walcott,Shane Long and Adam Che do the job for them.
Verdict
With both teams looking for a win they will depend on their forwards to score goals.It will be an attacking game from both sides.
We predict over 2.5 goals in this match.
