Tottenham Hotspur is persisting in their pursuit of a top-four finish as they travel to Craven Cottage to take on mid-table Fulham in the Premier League action set for Saturday.
Fulham vs Tottenham Betting Tips: Spurs to Win
Fulham missed a chance to achieve three consecutive Premier League victories for the first time this season, after their impressive 2-1 victory at the “Theatre of Dreams” and a solid 3-0 win against Brighton Hove & Albion. They fell to a 1-2 loss against Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux in their most recent match.
Having become known as one of the most challenging hosts in this year’s top-flight edition in England, the Cottagers have earned 25 of their 33 points and secured eight out of their ten league wins this season at this venue. They aim to create an upset, although their efforts may be hindered by an unfavorable historical head-to-head record against their weekend opponents.
The Craven Cottage fans are unlikely to be thrilled about Tottenham’s visit on Saturday, having had to endure their favorite team’s seven consecutive Premier League losses on their home ground. However, the hosts can draw some confidence from their earlier victory over Spurs in the EFL Cup second round this season, where they won via penalties.
Ange Postecoglu’s troops delivered an exceptional performance last weekend, crushing Aston Villa at Villa Park with a ruthless 4-0 victory. This allowed them to narrow the points difference to just two with their Birmingham rivals in the chase for a spot in the next Champions League campaign.
As the weekend nears, the Spurs, who are just two points behind the fourth-placed Villans and have an additional match to play, understand that they have the potential to influence their top-four aspirations. They will contemplate capturing the last UCL spot, bolstered by their impressive record against Fulham, where they’ve emerged victorious in eight of their last nine Premier League encounters.
After their impressive four-goal performance against Aston Villa a week ago, Tottenham has hit an impressive total of 59 goals. This marks their highest scoring run at this point since the 1964-65 season, a clear sign that Postecoglou has perfected Spurs’ offensive strategy. This is further emphasized by their unique position as the only Premier League team to have scored in every match since the start of the season.
Despite Marco Silva’s squad providing a tough nut to crack at their home fortress this season, suffering just five losses in 14 home fixtures, Tottenham will bank on their rich tradition, unwavering confidence, and burning hunger to claim the final Champions League ticket, a potent blend that should drive them towards an eighth straight triumph at Craven Cottage.

Not seen since January 30 when he picked up a hamstring injury in a thrilling 2-2 draw against Everton, Raul Jimenez should be available for selection in Saturday’s Premier League action but is expected to start the Tottenham clash from the bench.
With the Mexican striker back from injury, Fulham boss Marco Silva has no additional injury headaches to deal with ahead of their upcoming clash, while the pivotal cog in the team, Joao Palhinha, is ready to resume his duties in the midfield after serving a one-match ban.

Despite Spurs crushing Aston Villa 4-0 last time out, their joy was somewhat dampened by an injury blow, as 22-year-old defensive stalwart Micky van de Ven was substituted just four minutes into the second half due to a knee problem.
The Dutch center-back has joined Richarlison in the treatment room, with both expected to be available for manager Ange Postecoglou only after the international break, meaning winter signing Radu Dragusin will step into the back four in van de Ven’s absence.
