Fulham vs Birmingham predictions for this Championship clash on Sunday at Craven Cottage Stadium. Fulham, who are coming off a run of poor results, want to turn their recent run of bad results around and get back to winning ways, so they need to beat a sluggish Birmingham side. Read on for our free predictions and betting tips.
Fulham
Fulham’s spectacular start to the season has been somewhat clouded by a poor run of results in their last five games, as they have now gone five games without a win, with four draws and one defeat. Anyway, Fulham remain first in the standings, although their points lead over the third-placed team has been reduced by 11 points in the last five rounds.
With 59 goals scored and 19 goals conceded in 23 games, Fulham’s matches average 3.13 total goals per game. With such a high goal average it is surprising that their last five matches have had less than 1.5 total goals per game.
In 12 home games, Fulham have seven wins, three draws and two defeats. They have scored 24 goals and conceded only eight goals. Good stats for them.
Birmingham
If there is one thing Birmingham have been outstanding this season, it is their inconsistency, as they are a team that either does very well or very badly. They are currently in seventeenth place, eight points clear of the relegation places.
Birmingham have three wins, three draws and six defeats in 12 away games. In their last four matches away from Birmingham they have one draw and three defeats. The last two games ended in a 3-1 defeat to Millwall and a 4-0 defeat to Blackburn.
Birmingham have lost in their last four meetings with Fulham.
Although Fulham are in their worst form of the season we see them as favourites to win this game. We think that more than the fact that they have improved it will be because Birmingham is a team that is very weak right now and with Fulham’s attacking potential we think they should win this game. It is also an important factor that Fulham are playing at home.
