The Premier League Matchday 30 clash between Arsenal and Fulham will take place on April 1 at the Emirates Stadium in London. Arsenal vs. Fulham: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Arsenal
Before the international break, the Gunners defeated Chelsea 1-0 at home. However, prior to that, the club had gone three league matches without a win. Due to this series, Mikel Arteta's side fell 12 points behind leaders Liverpool but still maintain a comfortable 10-point lead over their closest competitor outside the Champions League zone. Additionally, the Londoners boast the best defense in the Premier League, having conceded only 24 goals.
- No more than two goals have been scored in Arsenal's last five league matches.
- A maximum of one goal was scored in the first half of Arsenal's last eight Premier League games.
- The club has suffered just one defeat in their last 17 home Premier League matches (12 wins, 4 draws).
Predicted lineup for Arsenal (4-3-3)
David Raya – Miles Lewis-Skelly, Gabriel Magalhães, William Saliba, Jurrien Timber – Thomas Partey, Declan Rice, Martin Ødegaard – Mikel Merino, Gabriel Martinelli, Leandro Trossard.
Forwards Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, as well as defender Takehiro Tomiyasu, will miss the game due to injuries. Notably, forward Bukayo Saka is back in training with the team but will be prepared for the upcoming Champions League matches.
Fulham
The club has alternated between wins and losses in their last nine league matches. Since mid-January, the Londoners have won five times and lost four times. The team went into the short break for international matches after defeating Tottenham 2-0 at home. Marco Silva's side holds a respectable 8th place in the standings, just two points shy of the European competition spots.
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in Fulham's last six league matches.
- The club scored exactly two goals in 6 of their last 7 away Premier League matches.
- The first half ended in a draw in 6 of Fulham's last 8 Premier League games.

Arsenal vs. Fulham: Match Prediction
Marco Silva's side has been a threat to top-table teams this season: at home, they secured two wins and two draws against top-7 clubs, while away, they have three wins, one draw, and two losses. Fulham scored in all these 10 matches but kept a clean sheet only once.
The head-to-head statistics in the Premier League are also intriguing. In the last 17 encounters, both teams scored in 13 of them. At the Emirates, both teams found the net in 7 of the last 8 league matches. I do not recommend betting on the outcome of this match; instead, consider a bet on team performance. My prediction: Both teams to score – yes
