The Matchday 36 clash in the Premier League between Fulham and Everton will take place on May 10 at Craven Cottage in London. Fulham vs. Everton: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Fulham
The Londoners have been on an uncompromising run in the league, with 16 matches (8 wins and 8 losses). During this stretch, Marco Silva's side only lost back-to-back matches once and won two consecutive games once. Fulham played their last two Premier League matches away, defeating Southampton (2-1) before losing to Aston Villa (0-1). Due to this inconsistency, the club is in 11th place in the standings, 9 points away from the European competition zone.
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 9 of the last 12 league games involving the Londoners.
- Fulham has failed to win in 7 of their last 10 home Premier League matches (4 draws and 3 losses).
- The team has only won the first half in 2 of their last 16 Premier League games (6 draws and 8 losses).
Projected lineup for Fulham (4-4-2)
Bernd Leno – Antonee Robinson, Joachim Andersen, Calvin Bassey, Kenny Tete – Sander Berge, Sasa Lukic, Harry Wilson, Ryan Sessegnon – Alex Iwobi, Raul Jimenez.
Everton
The Merseysiders unexpectedly stumbled at home against Ipswich, drawing with the underdog (2-2). Before that, the team lost without scoring to Manchester City (2-0) and Chelsea (1-0). Notably, in their last ten Premier League matches, David Moyes' side has only secured one victory (6 draws and 3 losses). The club is positioned 14th, having scored only 36 goals, with only three teams from the relegation zone scoring less.
- No more than two goals were scored in 8 of the last 9 league games involving the Merseysiders.

Fulham vs. Everton: Match Prediction
Both teams have struggled with consistency, leading to lost points in the current league campaign. However, the Londoners tend to avoid draws, while the Merseysiders often end up sharing the spoils. I slightly favor the hosts, as they are due for a win, having lost 3 of their last 4 Premier League matches, which is too many for them.
It is realistic to take points from Everton, as the club has only 8 wins after 35 rounds. However, the match is unlikely to be low-scoring, as Fulham rarely leaves the field without scoring, having found the net in 7 of their last 9 league games. However, the Londoners have also been conceding regularly, as seen in their last six Premier League matches. Additionally, Fulham has not lost to Everton in their last six Premier League meetings (3 wins and 3 draws). Moreover, at least two goals were scored in 8 of the last 11 head-to-head encounters in the league.
My prediction: 1X and Total Over 1.5 goals
