West Ham vs Fulham — Tips & Analysis

West Ham +0.25: Fulham cannot score away from home, and that is the simplest reason to be with West Ham. Fulham have not won on the road all season. Their away record reads 0 wins, 4 ties and 3 defeats, with one goal in seven away games. They sit 18th in the Premier League and are still looking for a first win from their opening four. Cairney and De Fougerolles are both out. West Ham are the opposite story. They top the Championship, their last five games read four wins and a tie, and they have won 9 of their last 16 overall. At home they have won 7 and lost 2 of nine games, and they score almost 3 goals a game there. Both managers will change their teams for a cup night. West Ham are expected to make around nine changes to the side that won 6-0 against Wrexham. That evens a lot of this out, which is why a 1-1 looks the most likely finish. A tie sits on the right side of this pick. The risk is the one you can already see. A rotated West Ham back line is untested, with Soucek and Areola unavailable and Veltman a doubt. Fulham can bring Premier League players off the bench and a cup night can turn late. We still want West Ham, who are winning almost everything at home right now.
