Southampton vs Fulham prediction: Margins could be slim on the south coast
Key Stats
- Southampton have scored just 11 goals in 16 home games combined in the Premier League this season.
- The Saints have lost ten of their last 11 home assignments in the Premier League.
- Southampton have collected the third-most cards (85) in the Premier League so far this term.
- Fulham have failed to score in only one of their last 15 away matches in the division.
Correct score prediction: Southampton 0-1 Fulham
Sorry Southampton are without a home win in the Premier League since November and they could be pipped to the points by Fulham in a low-scoring encounter here.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Saints given little chance
- HOME: 4/1 (5.00) – 20%
- DRAW: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.6%
- AWAY: 13/20 (1.65) – 60.6%
*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Southampton scored a 93rd-minute equaliser to rescue a point at West Ham last weekend, though the Saints have been given just a 20% chance of stepping things up with a win over Fulham.
Fulham are caught in mid-table limbo and seem to be limping towards the finish line. Still, they have been priced as 13/20 favourites to take advantage of Southampton’s wretched home form on Saturday. Read more of our football predictions and Premier League analysis on our dedicated page.

Southampton preview: Just two out for Saints
Southampton's squad is relatively untroubled by injury, though Albert Gronbaek Erlykke and Charlie Taylor remain out. The Saints have won only twice in 33 Premier League fixtures this season and they will exit the division as one of the worst-performing teams in the competition's history.
Predicted lineup: Ramsdale (GK), Harwood-Bellis, Bednarek, Stephens, Walker-Peters, Downes, Ugochukwu, Manning, Fernandes, Sulemana, Onauchu

Fulham preview: Nelson still sidelined
Reiss Nelson is absent with a thigh problem, though Rodrigo Muniz and Emile Smith Rowe should shake off minor knocks to feature. Fulham conceded two late goals in a 2-1 loss to London rivals Chelsea at Craven Cottage in their last outing.
Predicted lineup: Leno (GK), Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Lukic, Sessegnon, Pereira, Iwobi, Jimenez

Player to watch – Antonee Robinson
Only five players have registered ten or more assists in the Premier League this season and Fulham’s Antonee Robinson is in that group and in esteemed company alongside the likes of Mohamed Salah and Bukayo Saka.

Robinson’s thrust could be key
American international Robinson has been averaging a relatively modest 1.20 key passes and 1.20 crosses per game on average this season, so his haul of ten assists looks all the more impressive with those figures factored in. The 27-year-old will be eager to put his wand of a left foot to good use again when Fulham face Southampton.
