Fulham
Tottenham
On Sunday, March 16, in the 29th round of the English Premier League, Fulham will host Tottenham. The match kicks off at 14:30 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the number of goals in this match.

Match preview
Unexpectedly, Fulham has entered the race for European competition spots this season. Currently, the "Cottagers" are in tenth place with 42 points. However, Marco Silva's team is only 5 points behind the top five. The league table is extremely tight.
In the previous round, the "Cottagers" lost away to Brighton 2-1, missing the chance to climb higher in the standings. Before that, Fulham defeated Wolverhampton (2-1), lost to Crystal Palace (0-2), and beat Nottingham Forest (2-1). The lack of consistency is the main issue for this London team.
Fulham also remains in contention for the FA Cup, having knocked out Manchester United in the quarter-finals via penalties, and will face Crystal Palace in the next round.
Tottenham is underperforming this season in the Premier League. The "Spurs" have only 34 points and are in 13th place. They can forget about qualifying for European competitions through the league.
In the previous round, Tottenham was close to losing to Bournemouth but managed to salvage a 2-2 draw. Earlier, Ange Postecoglou's team lost 1-0 to Manchester City and secured three consecutive victories, which helped them climb the table.
However, Tottenham remains one of the main contenders for the Europa League trophy. The "Spurs" knocked out AZ Alkmaar in a tough round of 16 clash and will face Eintracht next.
Probable lineups
- Fulham: Leno; Castagne, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson; Pereira, Berge; Traore, Smith Rowe, Iwobi; Jimenez
- Tottenham: Vicario; Porro, Romero, Gray, Udogie; Sarr, Bentancur, Maddison; Odobert, Solanke, Son
Prediction for Fulham vs Tottenham
Both teams have defensive issues throughout the season, and Tottenham will be playing with fatigue from the Europa League. I bet on the total goals in this match being over 2.5.
