Fulham vs Leicester
English Premier League
Date: 8 May 2023, Monday
Kick-off at 15:00 UK / 16:00 CET
Venue: Craven Cottage (London).

Leicester will desperately want a win on Monday afternoon when they visit the capital for the 35th round clash against Fulham at Craven Cottage.

The Foxes are in a very delicate situation, sitting lock on points with the likes of Nottingham Forest and Leeds United right on the brink of the red zone.

Knowing they have the fixtures against the likes of Liverpool, Newcastle, and West Ham upcoming in the remaining three rounds of the season, it is clear that a win against Fulham is an imperative for Dean Smith and his troops.

Leicester missed a big chance to get one super-important victory on board seven days ago when they only drew 2-2 at home to direct rivals Everton (who are one point below them in the red zone) at King Power Stadium.

James Maddison missed a penalty to take the Foxes to a 3-1 lead on the occasion. Will it prove out crucial in terms of the team’s top-flight destiny?

It was generally one of the most thrilling games of the entire season as Leicester and Everton registered 38 attempts combined, 14 of which went on target on the occasion.

Fulham, on the other side, sit tenth in the league table and have nowhere to go in the remaining four games of the season.

They will go into this off the back of successive losses to Aston Villa and Manchester City. They have lost seven of the last nine outings across competitions and they are still without the top scorer Aleksandar Mitrovic who is sidelined through suspension.

Fulham vs Leicester Head-to-head

• The teams have two wins apiece in the previous four head to head affairs.
• Leicester own a terrible record at Craven Cottage where they lost 9, drew 3, and won 3 of the last 15 games against Fulham.
• Neither of the previous two H2H outings between these rivals provided three or more goals.

Fulham vs Leicester Prediction

This match has an incomparably bigger significance for the visitors who just can’t afford a mistake in the capital with such a difficult schedule in the remaining three fixtures.

The hosts are without their two main attacking weapons (Mitrovic is suspended, while Andreas Pereira is injured) and we have no other option but to back the visitors to get the much-needed win at the 2.60 odds. Looking at the goalscorers odds, we really fancy Jamie Vardy to score the first goal of the game at the 6.50 odds knowing the veteran striker was on target seven days ago against Everton with a beautiful finish from James Maddison’s pass.

Fulham vs Leicester Betting Tips

• Leicester to win @ 2.60 (8/5)

• Jamie Vardy to score the first goal @ 6.50 (11/2) odd.
