Sunday brings us an FA Cup fifth-round clash at Craven Cottage, where Fulham will be playing host to Southampton. The Cottagers are 10th in the Premier League, while the Saints are in seventh place in the Championship this season. Check out our match prediction below!
Fulham have never won a major trophy, but they have reached the quarter-final of this competition in two of the last four seasons. Marco Silva’s side have been the dominant force in this fixture in recent years, as they enter this match unbeaten in their last four against this opponent - albeit all of those were in the English top flight.
However, Southampton are on an upward trajectory under Tonda Eckert. The German tactician replaced Will Still when the Saints were languishing in 21st place in the Championship, but he has led them to six wins in their last eight league games, which has got them to seventh - one place below the Playoff cutoff. Let’s get into the key stats!

Fulham - Southampton: Form Analysis
Fulham are set to face a Championship team for the third time in this season’s FA Cup, following victories over Middlesbrough (3-1) and Stoke City (2-1) in rounds three and four, respectively.
The Cottagers come into this fixture off the back of a 1-0 loss to West Ham in the EPL in midweek. That result ended their three-match win streak in all competitions and saw them slip a spot in the standings.
Across their last 10 home games, the hosts have recorded five wins, a draw and four defeats. However, they are unbeaten in their last three matches at this venue against this opponent (W1 D2).
Eight of Fulham’s last 10 home games have ended with both teams scoring!
Meanwhile, Southampton are aiming to reach the FA Cup quarter-final for the first time since 2021-22. They beat Doncaster Rovers 3-2 in the third round before edging Leicester 2-1 in extra time in round four.
The Saints claimed a 3-1 victory over Sheffield Wednesday in the Championship last week and are now unbeaten in their last nine matches across all competitions (W7 D2), dating back to mid-January.
The visitors are also unbeaten in their last five away games in all competitions (W4 D1), a massive improvement after failing to win any of their five preceding matches on the road (D1 L4).

Fulham & Southampton Squad Analysis
Brazilian attacker Kevin has directly contributed to three of Fulham’s goals in this season’s FA Cup, but he has had to undergo surgery on a foot injury this week and is likely to remain sidelined for the foreseeable future.
The Cottagers may also have to make do without their leading scorer this season, Harry Wilson, who missed the loss to the Hammers in midweek due to an ankle injury and is a major doubt for this match.
Silva will likely look to rotate his lineup after their disappointing performance in midweek, which could see the likes of Oscar Bobb, Emile Smith-Rowe, and Ryan Sessegnon brought back into the starting 11.
Leo Scienza has recorded five goal contributions in his last four starts for Southampton!
The Brazilian attacking midfielder has been the creative spark for the Saints since the start of 2026. He has eight assists and six goals since arriving at St. Mary’s, including four assists in his last four matches.
Kuryu Matsuki is another player to keep an eye on this weekend. The Japan U23 international has notched up two goals and an assist in his last two matches and scored in the victory over Doncaster in round three of this competition.
The visitors are expected to be missing at least three players for this trip to West London due to injury, including Welington, Jay Robinson and Mads Roerslev.

Our Fulham vs Southampton Prediction
Fulham have a good record against this opponent and are the favourites in this contest, but they have not been solid defensively of late, having failed to keep a single clean sheet in their last 13 matches across all competitions.
That stat should give Southampton plenty of optimism coming into this match, especially given their form of late, now unbeaten in nine games, while having scored eight goals in their last two alone. Our Fulham vs Southampton prediction is BTTS.
