Each team’s starting lineup from their last match in this tournament is listed.
Tottenham
Ange Postecoglou's side has been delivering surprises this season, both positive and negative. In early November, they thrashed Aston Villa 4-1 at home, only to unexpectedly lose 1-2 to Ipswich, who hadn't won a single Premier League match in the 2024/25 season before that. In their last outing, Tottenham sensationally defeated Manchester City 4-0 away. As a result, Tottenham currently sits in sixth place but boasts the best attack in the Premier League, having scored 27 goals.
Midfielder Rodrigo Bentancur is suspended for this match.
- The team's uncompromising streak in the league stands at 11 games (6 wins and 5 losses).
- At least three goals have been scored in 7 of Tottenham's last 8 Premier League matches.
- The Londoners have failed to win the first half in nine consecutive home Premier League games (4 draws and 5 losses).
Fulham
In the previous round, Fulham unexpectedly suffered a heavy 1-4 home defeat to Wolverhampton. Before that, the Londoners were unbeaten in three consecutive league matches, defeating Brentford (2-1) and Crystal Palace (2-0), and drawing with Everton (1-1). Marco Silva's side is mid-table and only one point behind their city rivals Tottenham.
- Both teams scored in 9 of Fulham's last 11 Premier League games.
- The number "1" appeared in the final score in 9 of the Londoners' last 11 Premier League matches.
- The team opened the scoring in 8 of their last 9 league games.
Tottenham vs. Fulham: Match Prediction
In this London derby, the hosts are considered favorites, but I do not recommend betting on their victory. Tottenham tends to perform better against close competitors in the race for the top four and may slip up against lower-ranked teams, as has happened several times this season. The derby is sure to be entertaining and high-scoring. In 4 of the last 5 head-to-head meetings at Tottenham's ground in the Premier League, both London clubs found the net.
Furthermore, at least three goals have been scored in 19 of Ange Postecoglou's side's last 21 home Premier League matches. Both teams scored in 18 games in this series. Fulham is dangerous away from home, having lost only to the two Manchester teams in their last nine Premier League outings. They have scored in 12 of their last 14 away league matches.
My prediction: Both teams to score and total over 2.5 goals
