Our prediction for this Premier League match:
Fulham and West Ham United square off against each other at Craven Cottage in an eagerly-awaited London derby. The Cottagers are brimming with confidence following a splendid 5-0 win over Nottingham Forest and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. The opposition back-line should have summer signing Raul Jimenez, who scored a brace in the midweek clash, while all Adama Traore, Tyrese Francois, Rodrigo Muniz, and Issa Diop continue to miss out with injuries.
The Hammers, on the other hand, came from behind to beat Tottenham in the local derby on Thursday evening, with the team remaining in the top half of the table. David Moyes’ men managed to find the net in each of their last eight games in all competitions and, taking everything into account, both teams to score betting option should be considered. Jamaica striker Michail Antonio should be the only absentee in the visiting team.

Highlighted Team (Fulham):
Fulham are a club from London that play in the Premier League. The capital club dropped to the English second tier at the end of the 2013/2014 Premier League campaign after failing to impress in the elite competition, but managed to return in season 2018/2019.
Fulham were founded in 1879 and they play their home matches at Craven Cottage. Fulham are the oldest-established club from the English capital to have played in the top flight.
Fulham finished the 2008/2009 Premier League campaign in seventh place in the standings and that is considered the team’s biggest success, speaking of their participation in the Premier League.
The Cottagers played in the Europa League twice and they did well to reach the FA Cup final in 1975, but they were beaten by their local rivals West Ham United in the title game (0-2). Chelsea are regarded as Fulham’s bitter rivals as well and the two teams take on each other in the North London derby.
