Fulham will be out to extend their unbeaten run in the Premier League this weekend when they play host to a struggling Southampton at Craven Cottage on Sunday afternoon. The Cottagers are in eighth place in the league standings while the Saints are set to reach Christmas at the foot of the table. Check out our match prediction below!
When these sides last met in the top flight during the 2022-23 campaign, Fulham did the double over this opponent after only managing one win in their previous eight encounters. Southampton have won just one of their last nine Premier League matches at Craven Cottage (W1 D3 L5), though that victory came way back in 2014 when Mauricio Pochettino was still at the helm.
Owing to their dismal run of results, the visitors are the biggest outsiders at the books for matchday 17, but can they upset the odds and give their travelling fans some Christmas cheer? Let’s get into the key stats in this one.

Fulham - Southampton: Form Analysis
Fulham have been one of the surprise packages in the Premier League this season and they could end this weekend in the top six with a win here and if results elsewhere go in their favour.
The Cottagers have navigated a tricky few weeks this month. They managed to hold all of Spurs, Arsenal and Liverpool to draws, while they beat Brighton & Hove Albion 3-1 on December 5.
The hosts have also been solid at home this term, earning 14 of their 24 points at Craven Cottage (W4 D2 L2) and are now going for a third consecutive match without defeat.
Fulham have scored in 15 consecutive Premier League matches ahead of this one!
Meanwhile, with just five points to their name, Southampton are at risk of being cut adrift before the turn of the year, and bookies have already made them the clear favourites to be relegated.
The Saints’ last league game ended in a deflating 5-0 defeat to Spurs last week - their third loss in a row - while they are winless in six and have won only one game all season.
In eight away matches this term, the visitors have earned just a single point, and have failed to find the target in three of their last four outings.
If Southampton lose this match, their five points will be the joint second lowest of any side at Christmas in the history of the Premier League.

Our Fulham vs Southampton Prediction
Fulham have one of the toughest fixture lists across December, but so far, they have come through with flying colours, now gunning a fifth straight match without defeat.
Southampton, meanwhile, look increasingly likely to struggle to avoid the drop with each passing week, and with seven away defeats in eight games this season, it’s difficult to make much of a case for them in this one. Therefore, our Fulham vs Southampton prediction is Fulham win & over 1.5 goals.
