Fulham Form
Sunderland Form
Fulham welcome Sunderland to Craven Cottage on Saturday afternoon for a matchup that suddenly feels a lot more evenly balanced than it did a few weeks ago. The Cottagers are trying to steady themselves after a rough run, while Sunderland arrive unbeaten in four Premier League games and playing with real confidence. So, as you look ahead to this one, it’s only natural to start thinking about a Fulham vs Sunderland prediction and whether the visitors’ momentum gives them an edge. Here’s what you should know going into this intriguing clash.
You’ve got two sides coming into this match from very different angles.
Fulham have struggled lately, losing five of their last seven across all competitions. They’ve had issues at the back, conceding at least twice in four of their last six league games. The silver lining? They’re still creating chances and have only drawn a blank in two of those matches.
Sunderland, on the other hand, have been solid. They’ve only lost twice in the league all season and enter the weekend unbeaten in their last four. They’ve scored at least two goals in three of their last four league fixtures, and both teams have scored in each of their last three matches.
Neither side’s lineup notes show any injury absences, so selection decisions look tactical rather than forced. Fulham have options like Rodrigo Muniz Carvalho, Adama Traore, Samuel Chukwueze, Tom Cairney, Tim Castagne, Emile Smith-Rowe, and others waiting in the wings. Sunderland have their own depth with choices such as Chris Talbi, Brian Brobbey, Abdoulaye Seidu Adingra, Dan Neill, and Callum Rigg among their substitutes.
When you look at how these teams match up, recent meetings lean slightly toward Sunderland. Across their last seven encounters in league and cup, Sunderland have three wins to Fulham’s two, and both teams have scored in five of those. Sunderland also tend to enjoy their trips to Craven Cottage, winning three of their last five there with both teams scoring in each of those victories.
The rhythm of this matchup often leans towards high-energy stretches and plenty of forward movement. Fulham like to push full-backs high, especially through Tete and Sessegnon, while Sunderland’s midfield—anchored by Granit Xhaka and supported by the movement of Le Fée and Sadiki—tends to dictate the tempo. This should create a game with momentum swings rather than long periods of control for either side.
Here’s what I think: Fulham will compete, and they’ll probably find the net, especially at home. But their defensive record is hard to ignore, and Sunderland’s form is simply stronger right now. They’re scoring, they’re confident, and they’ve got the better recent head-to-head record. All signs point to a tight game where the visitors edge it.
