Fulham vs Southampton Betting Tips

The first of this weekend’s betting tips is a win for Fulham and a bit reason for this is the new manager factor. They lost their way under the previous boss but things should start to pick up for Fulham now because they definitely have the quality to survive in this league.

Fulham’s form is shocking, but Southampton’s is just as bad and manager Mark Hughes must also be looking over his shoulder. They’ve only scored twice in seven Premier League matches so we betting on a Fulham win for our Fulham vs Southampton predictions in the Premier League this weekend. The goalscoring task will be falling to Aleksandar Mitrovic once again in this match and he needs to refind his form for Fulham. He is their top goalscorer with five goals this season but hasn’t scored for two months now. He did net three goals in two matches for Serbia in the week, and should have had a hat-trick but for a comical penalty miss. Now that he is back in the goals, we’re keeping Mitrovic onside and betting on him to score in this match, the odds for him to score first are 11/2 at bet365 and we wouldn’t put you off that punt, but go with the 19/10 for him to score anytime at Sportingbet.  

Fulham vs Southampton Preview, Team News and Stats

As you can see from the stats above, there are a lot of goals in these teams’ fixtures this season – but the problem both teams have is not many of them are at the right end. Fulham have had some good performances in front of goal but they came early in the season, while Southampton have been on the wrong end of a 6-1 hiding at Manchester City recently.

No goals in their last four matches is an obvious concern for our Fulham to win bet but with a new manager in charge and a rejuvenated home crowd, we’re confident of a victory here.

Southampton have only got three points from their last five matches and they’d have expected more from games such as Watford and Newcastle at home, where they only managed a point. This looks like make or break for manager Mark Hughes and with the bust Christmas period coming up, his time as Southampton manager may be running out.
