Everton vs Fulham prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups - October 26, 2024
One of the matches of the 9th round of the English Premier League will take place on Saturday in Liverpool, where Everton will host Fulham at Goodison Park. Here’s a prediction of the match from the Dailysports expert team.
Everton
The "Toffees" are enjoying a solid run in the Premier League, remaining unbeaten for four consecutive matches. During this period, Everton drew with Leicester (1-1) and Newcastle (0-0), while also securing victories over Crystal Palace (2-1) and Ipswich (2-0). For the first time since April, they managed to keep two consecutive clean sheets in the league.
Thanks to these results, Everton has climbed out of the relegation zone, rising to 16th in the Premier League standings, increasing their cushion from the bottom three to five points. It's worth noting that both of their victories this season have come against teams ranked lower than 16th. However, the Liverpool-based side has yet to find success against teams higher up in the table.
Fulham
The Londoners have played their last two matches against teams representing the Premier League in the Champions League, suffering defeats in both. First, Marco Silva’s side lost away to Manchester City 2-3, and then they were beaten at home by Aston Villa 1-3. This marks the first time since April that the "Cottagers" have lost two consecutive league matches.
Currently, Fulham sits in mid-table, four points away from the European spots. In four away matches this season, the London club has secured just one win, a surprising victory against the in-form Nottingham Forest. However, they lost away to both Manchester clubs.
