Fulham vs Preston Prediction and Match Preview

Aron Wright - April 18, 2022

Fulham vs Preston
England – Championship
Date: Tuesday, 19 April 2022
Kick-off at 19:45 UK/ 20:45 CET
Venue: Craven Cottage.

With just six match-days remaining in the league, Fulham seem confident of lifting the title. They are after all at the top of the table with a nine-point lead, and they also have a game in hand.

They have also scored the most number of goals in the competition, and they have been one of the best teams at home this past season.

Going on, their form has suffered a bit in their most recent fixtures, and they will be determined to put an end to this poor streak as well. One thing that works in their favor is that they can play without much pressure.

Meanwhile, Preston are placed in the mid-table, and though they still have a mathematical chance of making it to the playoffs, it seems quite unlikely.

They are going for the win certainly – but chances are low that they will be able to pull it off. Expect Fulham to have the upper hand this Tuesday, at their home.

Fulham vs Preston Prediction & Analysis

Fulham did lose 2-1 on the road the last match-day, against Derby. But they had won six of their past ten overall fixtures, and they had also won five of their last eight appearances at home.

Note that they had also scored two or more goals in five of their previous eight home games, and in two of these fixtures, they had slotted in six or more goals.

On the other hand, Preston were held to a 1-1 draw the past game week, by Millwall. They were also winless in seven of their former ten overall fixtures, and they have won just four times on the road since November.
