Fulham v Arsenal Betting Tips – Premier League, 7th October 12.00pm

The Cottagers are looking pretty vulnerable, especially at the back as they try and settle down into life in the top flight. Arsenal are having no such problems with form as they are on a red hot streak of five straight Premier League wins. Read our predictions for Fulham v Arsenal.

Fulham News and Form

Fulham are still struggling to find their feet in the Premier League. That second league win of the season is eluding them and they have gone W1 D2 L4 so far. They have failed to win any of their last four now in a D2 L2 record. But all but one of the four defeats that they have taken this season have been away from home so it hasn’t been that bad at Craven Cottage.

They have four points in their last two home games, beating Burnley and drawing with Watford. Of the five home goals that Fulham have produced, Aleksandar Mitrovic has scored three of them. So he is the best option at 7/4 odds* (betting odds taken from October 4th, 2018 at 4:53 pm) if you fancy a Fulham anytime goalscorer punt.

Fulham have also conceded five goals on home soil this season in their three games, all but one of those were conceded in the first half of a match. The Cottagers have been trailing at the break in two for their three home games so there is a big issue.

They are underdogs here so an Arsenal/Arsenal half-time/full-time bet is at 8/5 odds* (betting odds taken from October 4th, 2018 at 4:53 pm) to consider in Fulham v Arsenal predictions. There has been no clean sheet for Fulham home or away this season and they just haven’t held up well defensively. They have the joint-worst defensive record in the top flight going into the weekend.

Arsenal News and Form

The Gunners are carrying strong form at the moment on the domestic front having won each of their last five game. They have been great form in front of goal as well, with at least two goals scored in each of their last six games. That’s been a very strong return from them and their last two league successes have been 2-0 results.

They had a long trip to Baku to deal with on Thursday night for the Europa League. Because of that and them having no clean sheet away from home in the Premier League yet, an Arsenal 2-1 correct score option at 8/1 has big appeal* (betting odds taken from October 4th, 2018 at 4:53 pm) in Fulham v Arsenal betting tips.

Therefore both teams to score is at 4/9 odds* (betting odds taken from October 4th, 2018 at 4:53 pm) for the fixture. Arsenal are W2 L1 on their travels, their first loss happening at Stamford Bridge against rivals Chelsea in their opening away game of the term.

The Gunners have returned seven goals in three away fixtures which has been a great output. All of their away games have gone over 2.5 goals so there is a trend there. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang hasn’t found his stride yet in front of goal this season, but against a porous Fulham defence, he may well get a look in and he remains Arsenal’s best route to goal.

Fulham v Arsenal Head to Head

Arsenal took back to back wins over Fulham the last time they were together in the Premier League. That was back in the 2013/14 season. The Gunners are unbeaten in four against the Cottagers in the top flight (W3 D1) and have lost just one of their last eleven. Both teams have scored in all but one of the last eight.

Fulham v Arsenal Predictions

Arsenal to win: The Gunners are scoring freely at the moment and we don’t see them being tripped up in this one. Fulham have been so slack at the back, the Gunners should be able to pick them off easily enough. Away win.
