Let's expect goals from the teams! Fulham vs Leicester Prediction
One of the duels of the second round will be played on Saturday at the Craven Cottage Arena, where the local Fulham will take on Leicester. We offer a prediction for this match from a team of Dailysports experts.
Fulham
Fulham is not the first year to gather a team with big names on the field, but they still do not manage to get stable results. The main task for the ‘cottagers’ remains to maintain a place in the Premier League, and with this mission they cope, although not always with brilliance.
The end of last season was another example of their instability: in the last nine rounds, the team got only two wins, both against opponents who had other priorities. West Ham were focused on the Europa League, while Luton were struggling for survival.
The start of the new season for the Black and Whites also turned out to be ambiguous. ‘Dachshunds’ were close to taking points in the confrontation with Manchester United at Old Trafford, but missed in the final minutes and eventually lost with a score of 0:1.
Leicester
Leicester, who not so long ago won the championship, for a long time showed strong results in the Premier League, but in the season 2022/23 still could not avoid relegation and flew to the Championship. Fortunately for the Foxes, their stay in the relegation zone was short-lived.
They won the Championship at the first attempt, returning to the elite. However, before the start of the new season there were many questions about the current form of Stephen Cooper's team, especially after three consecutive defeats in friendlies against Palermo (0:1), Augsburg (0:1) and Lance (0:3).
However, in the first round of the new APL campaign, the Foxes showed that they are capable of competing at the highest level with a 1-1 draw at home to Tottenham. Leicester lost the first half, conceding in the 29th minute, but managed to get back on track in the first 15 minutes of the second half.
