Match Analysis

West Ham's recent performances have been far from inspiring, as they have failed to secure a win in their last three matches, suffering losses against Manchester City and Aston Villa, and managing a draw with Brighton. The Hammers have struggled defensively, conceding an average of 2.0 goals per game in their last five matches, while their attack has been slightly more productive, scoring 1.6 goals on average. However, their inability to keep a clean sheet in recent outings is concerning. Fulham, on the other hand, have shown a mixed bag of results in their last three games. They secured victories against Nottingham Forest and Burnley but stumbled against Crystal Palace. Fulham's defensive vulnerabilities are evident, as they've conceded an average of 2.0 goals in their last five games. However, their attack has shown promise, with an average of 1.4 goals scored per game, and they have managed to keep one clean sheet in their recent fixtures.

Final Prediction

Fulham's recent form and higher league standing give them the edge in this matchup against a struggling West Ham side. Their ability to capitalize on West Ham's defensive frailties could be a decisive factor in determining the outcome. Keep an eye on Fulham's attacking efforts, as they aim to maintain their scoring momentum and exploit West Ham's defensive lapses.
