Fulham vs Arsenal Prediction 31.12.2023

• Competition: England &— Premier League
• Date: Sunday, 31st, December 2023
• Kickoff: 14:00 UK / 15.00 CET
• Venue: Craven Cottage (London)

On Sunday, Craven Cottage will host a London derby as Arsenal aims to overcome recent setbacks and regain their winning momentum against Fulham.

After consecutive five-goal victories against Nottingham Forest and West Ham, Fulham surprisingly suffered a significant drop in performance. Their latest setback happened on Tuesday when they were outplayed by high-flying Bournemouth, ending in a 0-3 defeat. The unfortunate results for Marco Silva’s team over the past fortnight in England’s premier league have seen them drop into the bottom half of the table, now only six points clear of the first relegation spot. Given that Luton, who are just below the relegation line, have a game in hand, it is imperative that Fulham quickly recover to avoid worsening their situation.

On Thursday, the previously undefeated Emirates Stadium saw its fortress status crumble this season. Despite Arteta’s team being extremely threatening and delivering an impressive 30 shots, they couldn’t get the ball past Areola even once. On the other hand, David Moyes’ team managed to score a goal in each half with just six attempts, handing Arsenal a disappointing 0-2 defeat. David Raya prevented an even worse defeat for his team by saving a penalty during stoppage time’s sixth minute. However, this failure means that Arsenal has lost its chance to regain the top spot in the Premier League table and now trails behind Liverpool by two points.

Fulham vs Arsenal Betting Tips: Arsenal to Win

After their surprising 0-2 loss to West Ham in the city derby, the Gunners are set on avoiding another mistake in the upcoming London clash, as another defeat could seriously threaten their championship hopes. Despite initially seeming to have solved their scoring problems following the loss of key player Aleksandar Mitrovic, with goals being scored left and right, Fulham’s attack now appears to be struggling again to score against competitors, having suffered three straight losses without a single goal.

Marco Silva’s squad is in a difficult situation that they may not be able to rectify before New Year’s Eve, especially with Arsenal coming to play, a team that frequently causes them problems. Arsenal, known as the Gunners, has an impressive record at Craven Cottage, with five consecutive victories and a significant goal difference of 15-2. This gives them the opportunity to regain their winning streak and remain in the title race. Although Arsenal is currently experiencing some challenges, it’s believed that they have what it takes to end their three-match losing streak on their away games when they visit the favorable Craven Cottage, securing a straightforward win.
