Fulham v Sunderland

The Whites won convincingly last Friday night away to Millwall and on paper this fixture is miles easier.

Fulham v Sunderland – Friday

Fulham made it five wins without conceding in six as they were impressive 3-0 winners at Millwall, whilst they’re still unbeaten in 2018 so far with nine wins from their last 11 matches. Sunderland were in fact the last side to beat them, some 23 games ago, but we expect them to have no problems back at Craven Cottage. The Black Cats have managed just a solitary strike across their four trips to top-five sides this term and their relegation was confirmed last weekend, so given Fulham’s excellent defensive form, they should feel confident of another win to nil.

Tip: Yes

Fulham v Sunderland [Fulham To Win To Nil]

Sunderland were thumped 4-0 at Cardiff in their last trip to one of the top five, whilst Fulham hammered Burton 6-0 the last time a bottom-three side came to town, and so it wouldn’t be a total surprise to see Slavisa Jokanovic’s men putting up a big number. However, despite covering the -1 handicap in 10 of their 19 matches in 2018 to date, they only scored three goals or more in two of their last 15, with five of these finishing 2-0. In fact, four of their last eight at home have finished this way, while Sunderland have only conceded more than twice in one of their six games travelling to the top seven.

Tip: Fulham 2-0

Fulham v Sunderland [Correct Score]

Key to Fulham’s success this term has been Ryan Sessegnon, who was recently named Championship Player of the Season and leads Fulham’s scoring charts with 15 goals to his name. He opened the scoring against Millwall while the last two goals he’s netted at Craven Cottage have also been the first in the game, in victories over Villa and Wolves.

Tip: Ryan Sessegnon
