Fulham vs Sunderland Prediction: Shoot Down the Home Team

Latest Fulham vs Sunderland team news

Fulham have lost Antonee Robinson to a knee injury, and more recently Rodrigo Muniz has undergone surgery after suffering a hamstring injury in the defeat to Everton.

Sasa Lukic is suspended after receiving his fifth yellow card, so Alex Iwobi may be moved to a deeper role alongside Sander Berge.

Josh King and Emile Smith Rowe will compete for the number 10 spot behind striker Raul Jimenez, who is yet to score at home this season. Harry Wilson hopes to retain his starting place on the right wing after scoring a hat-trick for Wales earlier this week.

On the Sunderland side, Habib Diarra (groin) and Aji Alese (shoulder) remain sidelined. Dennis Cirkin (wrist), Romaine Mundle (hamstring), and Leo Hjelde (Achilles heel) are also not yet ready despite having trained with the youth team.

Le Bris confirms Reinildo Mandava is "fine" despite withdrawing from the Mozambique national team due to a hamstring discomfort. Omar Alderete will be further assessed after missing three matches due to a concussion.

Captain Granit Xhaka is expected to continue partnering Noah Sadiki in midfield, while Simon Adingra and Chemsdine Talbi will compete for a starting spot with Bertrand Traore and Enzo Le Fee on the wings.

Latest football match prediction: Fulham vs Sunderland

Fulham ended a run of four consecutive Premier League defeats with a 3-0 home win against bottom-of-the-table Wolves earlier in November, but they were unable to extend their winning streak, losing 0-2 away to Everton just before the international break.

The Cottagers are one of four teams in the Premier League yet to win an away game this season. Their recent defeat against Everton was their fifth away loss and sixth overall, leaving them in 15th place and just one point above the relegation zone.

Although some sources suggest that Fulham's board is considering Marco Silva's future following a poor run of form, it is understood that the club actually wants to negotiate a contract extension with the Portuguese manager — who is currently the third-longest-serving manager in the Premier League — as his current contract expires at the end of the season.

Fulham will return to Craven Cottage this weekend, where they have won 91% of their Premier League points this season (10/11) — the highest rate in the league — and they are also unbeaten in their last 10 games against newly promoted teams (5 wins, 5 draws), winning their last three matches.

However, Fulham have lost their last two home Premier League matches against Sunderland, and Saturday's game will be the first top-flight encounter between the two teams since Sunderland's 4-1 victory in January 2014.

Sunderland have earned 19 points from 11 games this season (5 wins, 4 draws, 2 losses) — their best run at this point in a Premier League season since 1999-00 (23 points), and also the best run by a newly promoted team since 2008-09, when Hull City had 20 points from 11 games.

Before the international break, Sunderland extended their unbeaten run to four matches thanks to a dramatic 94th-minute equalizer from new signing Brian Brobbey, his first goal for the team in a 2-2 draw against league leaders Arsenal.

Only Brighton (76%) have scored a higher percentage of goals in the second half than Sunderland this season (71% – 10/14). Conversely, Fulham have conceded 69% of their goals after the break (11/16) — the third highest in the league.

Few would have thought Sunderland would be fourth in the Premier League at the end of November, but Regis Le Bris's side fully deserved the position. A win against Fulham would put them level on points with Manchester City — who played a few hours later against Newcastle, Sunderland's rivals.

Following their 2-1 victory over Chelsea in October, Sunderland are aiming for two consecutive away wins in London in the same Premier League season — something they haven't achieved since March 2001. They also want to avoid a run of three consecutive defeats against Fulham for the first time since their run between 2002 and 2006, after losing 1-2 in the Championship in April 2018.
