West Ham are the more settled side
West Ham have won their last three matches and arrive at the London Stadium to face Fulham with a lot of momentum in their sails. Nuno Espirito Santo has moulded a tight, shape-based unit with pace in the counter-attack, and Fulham's build-from-the-back style remains. Álvaro Arbeloa's team will have to be at their best to earn a result in this one as The Cottagers are more comfortable playing positional soccer where the width and vertical passing can hurt the opposition. Fulham have been wobbling of late, losing their last two and only taking two wins from their last five. They're still searching for their first away win in any competition, having drawn three and lost one on the road.
Fulham are overpriced
Fulham are 59/50 favourites for this clash, which is a tad surprising to us as they are in poorer form than West Ham and West Ham are on a three-game winning run. West Ham are also priced up at 41/20 for this game, with the draw at 51/20.
The head-to-head also suggests that this could be a tight game, as West Ham beat Fulham 1-0 in the Premier League 2025/2026, but the Cottagers have won two of their last three visits to West Ham and the overall H2H is all square at two wins each and one draw in the last five meetings.
An open game at the London Stadium
West Ham's home games have been open and exciting so far in all competitions, scoring an average of 2.75 goals per-game and conceding 1.25. Over 2.5 goals looks a strong play at 67/100, while both teams to score will also land at 11/20.
West Ham's shape and counter-punching style could work well against Fulham's possession-based football, but if the visitors overcommit it could also suit the Irons. We're going for a close encounter with the hosts taking the win to keep the momentum rolling for West Ham.
