Fulham vs Leicester City Premier League prediction and stats: Which Craven Cottage side will show up?
Newly-promoted Leicester City‘s return to the Premier League continues with a trip to Fulham this weekend.
How to watch Fulham vs Leicester live
Fulham vs Leicester is scheduled for 3pm (UK time) on Saturday 24th August though the game will not be broadcast live in the UK.
Three predictions for Fulham vs Leicester
Fulham 2-2 Leicester (14/1 with Star Sports)
Fulham were hard to predict at home in the Premier League last season, as likely to lose as they were to win. Their past three home games against Leicester have brought one win, one draw and one defeat.
Rodrigo Muniz to score anytime (19/10 with Bet UK)
After a slow start to the season, Rodrigo Muniz ended 2023/24 in fine goalscoring form, netting nine goals in the Premier League. Seven of those nine goals came at Craven Cottage, including a run of scoring in four consecutive home matches.
Over 2.5 goals (10/11 with Bet365)
Games between Fulham and Leicester recently have been fun for the neutral. The past 10 matches across all competitions have seen 43 goals scored, with seven matches having three or more goals.
How both teams go into Fulham vs Leicester
Fulham will be hoping to make Craven Cottage a fortress in the Premier League in 2024/25 as they look to climb the table. The Cottagers were an interesting side to watch at home last season. They won nine of their 19 matches, a commendable amount considering Fulham finished 13th in the Premier League. But at the same time, Fulham also lost eight matches at home. Only four teams — including all three relegated sides — lost more home matches than Fulham last season. And they went winless in their final four home games of the 2023/24 season, with three defeats.
The Cottagers head into this match off the back of a narrow 1-0 defeat away at Man Utd in their opening game, although given the chances and counter-attacks they enjoyed, they really should have taken at least a point.
Leicester, meanwhile, are on their first away trip since returning to the top flight. And they’ll be hoping to have a similar record to their Championship one away from home. The Foxes won 14 of their 23 away games in the Championship last season, including each of their first seven. Like their season as a whole, there were poor patches, including no wins in seven away across all competitions, before bouncing back to end the season on a high, beating Preston 3-0 in their final away game. Of course, form won’t translate too much from the Championship to the Premier League, but Leicester will be feeling positive — especially after coming from behind to draw 1-1 with Tottenham on Monday night.
Fulham host Leicester at Craven Cottage on Saturday 24th August at 3pm.
Fulham team news
Fulham didn’t suffer any injuries or suspensions against Man Utd, meaning Marco Silva should have a fully fit squad to choose from here. The Cottagers look set to add Joachim Andersen to their squad but this game will be too soon.
Leicester team news
Like Fulham, Leicester came through their first match unscathed and were even able to call upon Jamie Vardy for 79 minutes despite the veteran striker — who scored the Foxes’ equaliser — being a doubt with a foot injury.
Fulham vs Leicester head-to-head
Historically, Fulham love playing Leicester with 42 wins to the Foxes’ 29 in this fixture. They won home and away against Leicester in the 2022/23 Premier League season and will now be hoping to win three in a row for the first time since the 1960s.
