Prediction: 2-1
Celta de Vigo
Fulham play host to Celta Vigo at their Craven Cottage in their last warm-up game ahead of the new Premier League campaign. The Cottagers are likely to fight tooth and nail against Os Celeste, but Saturday’s football match will be anything but a walk in the park for Slavisa Jokanovic’s troops. This game is of big importance for the hosts and, as usual, the Serbian tactician is going to field the best possible side in the team’s final warm-up game. The Galician side, on the other hand, kick-off their La Liga campaign on August 18 against Espanyol , meaning that they want to grab something from Saturday’s friendly as well. However, seeing that over the years Fulham have turned their Craven Cottage into a real fortress, we are tempted to put our money on Aleksandar Mitrovic and Co. this time out.
