West Ham vs Fulham prediction and odds ahead of Premier League clash

As London gears up for an electrifying derby, West Ham United is poised to welcome Fulham FC this Sunday in a Premier League clash that promises plenty of action. Both teams have shown defensive frailties recently, hinting at a high-scoring affair.

The Irons are the slight-favourites ahead of the match at 27/20 with CopyBet while Fulham are 9/5 and a draw is 5/2.

Currently experiencing a dip in form, West Ham's aspirations for a spot in European competitions are fading, with the team finding themselves in seventh place, a significant 12 points adrift of the top five. Their recent form has been disappointing, with only one victory in their last five outings across various competitions. This victory was secured against Wolverhampton Wanderers, but joy was short-lived as they faced defeat by Bayer Leverkusen in the Europa League.

Playing at home hasn't been advantageous for David Moyes' squad, with a solitary win in their past seven league games at their own ground. Defensive issues have been particularly glaring, evidenced by their inability to achieve a clean sheet in six consecutive home matches.

Fulham's journey mirrors that of their upcoming opponents, with only one triumph in their last five league matches, leaving them languishing in the league's lower echelons. Recent defeats to Nottingham Forest and Newcastle United have further dampened spirits within Marco Silva's camp.

The Cottagers' away form does little to inspire confidence, marred by defensive lapses that have seen them secure just one clean sheet in seven away fixtures. With both teams struggling to shore up their defenses, this derby could well turn into a goal-fest for football enthusiasts.

Draw — 5/2

Under 2.5 goals — 23/20
