Southampton vs Fulham

Current streaks

Recent form

Southampton

Southampton's recent form has been dire, with the Saints currently languishing at the bottom of the Premier League table. Their last six matches have seen them fail to secure a single victory, managing only two draws amidst four defeats. The team's defensive frailties are glaringly evident, having conceded a worrying 13 goals in these six games, averaging over two goals conceded per match. Southampton's attacking prowess has also been lacklustre, netting just five times in this period. Notably, the Saints are on a concerning 10-game winless streak and haven't kept a clean sheet in their last 14 matches. Their goal difference of -8 over the past six games further underscores their struggles at both ends of the pitch. While there were no particularly high-scoring matches, the 3-0 defeat to Aston Villa stands out as their heaviest loss in this run.

Fulham

Fulham's recent form has been inconsistent, with the Cottagers struggling to string together positive results. They have lost four of their last six matches, including their most recent two fixtures against Chelsea and Bournemouth. Despite their mid-table position, Fulham have been involved in some high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their last six games featuring over 2.5 goals. A particular highlight was their 3-2 victory over Liverpool, showcasing their ability to compete with top teams. However, Fulham's defence has been a concern, conceding 10 goals in their last six matches and failing to keep a clean sheet in their last five outings. Their FA Cup run came to an end with a heavy 3-0 defeat to Crystal Palace, but they did manage an impressive 2-0 win over Tottenham Hotspur in the league, demonstrating their potential when they're at their best.

Recent home/away form

Southampton

Southampton's recent home form has been abysmal, with the Saints enduring a dismal run of five consecutive defeats at St Mary's Stadium. Their last six home matches have yielded just one point from a possible 18, highlighting their struggles in front of their own supporters. The team have failed to keep a clean sheet during this period, conceding a worrying average of 2.33 goals per game. Particularly concerning was their 4-0 drubbing at the hands of Brighton, which stands out as the highest-scoring match in this run. Southampton's attacking prowess has also been lacklustre, managing to score only three goals in their last six home fixtures, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. This poor form has undoubtedly contributed to their precarious position at the bottom of the Premier League table.

Fulham

Fulham's recent away form has been a cause for concern, with the Cottagers currently on a three-match losing streak in the Premier League. This run of defeats has seen them concede five goals whilst only managing to score twice. Despite this poor run, Fulham had shown some promise earlier in their away fixtures, securing back-to-back wins against Wolves in the league and Wigan Athletic in the FA Cup. The team's inability to keep a clean sheet in their last six away matches is noteworthy, with both teams scoring in 83% of these games. Interestingly, Fulham's away matches have tended to be relatively high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent games seeing over 2.5 goals. Their 1-1 draw against Manchester United in the FA Cup stands out as a positive result amidst their recent struggles, demonstrating that the team can compete with top-tier opposition on their travels.
