Manchester City - Fulham  Prediction, Picks and Tips  


 
  
On Saturday, at 15:00, Manchester City and Fulham have an unbalanced duel at Etihad Stadium, in the 11th round of the Premier League. The hosts can't count on Aguero for a long time, so Sterling, De Bruyne, Jesus and Mahrez remain Pep Guardiola's most dangerous players. Growing in form, Fulham come to the match without Kongolo, Onomah and Tete.



 
 


 
 

Even if there is a big difference in value between the two bands, the ranking does not really indicate that. The "citizens" are on the 11th place (goal average 15-11), with 15 points, while Fulham is on the 17th place (goal average 11-19), with 7 points. City alternates good matches with the least inspired, but there is one thing in common between these games: solid defense. Apart from the defeat at Tottenham (0-2), decided by small details and moments, City has a good series of results: 1-1 with Liverpool, 1-0 with Olympiacos, 5-0 with Burnley and 0-0 with FC Porto, on Dragao. The confidence of the white-and-blue defenders increases from match to match and Guardiola applauded this.

Fulham are showing signs of life in the Premier League, where they have started to score big victories. It was 2-0 at home to the WBA, and the last round was a huge 2-1 at Leicester. Our editorial staff correctly anticipated the growth of the Londoners, who scored in 3 of the last 4 rounds.



 
 
 
 
 

 
So Scott Parker's students have strong morale and hope to surprise Manchester City, who are no longer the invincible "colossus" of recent years. But the statistics indicate an unbalanced duel, because the "citizens" have won the last 9 direct duels, since 2012. Only in two of these matches did Fulham score, which has a much lower goal difference. In fact, the last 5 direct meetings ended with 4-0, 2-0, 2-0, 3-0 and 5-0!

At home, Manchester City should press the accelerator pedal from the start, and the quality of the team prepared by Pep Guardiola should make the difference. Fulham will be in a 4-5-1 defense, with Mitrovic at the forefront, but the black and whites will rely more on counterattacks and fixed phases. Despite less brilliant performances this season, Manchester City remains a very difficult opponent, who can make a show on the weekend.
