Fulham Team News
In the last round of the Premier League, Fulham lost away to Liverpool 1:0. The only goal of the game was seen in the 39th minute after the home team forced and realized a penalty kick, and after that goal, the guests failed to get back into the match.
They currently occupy the 10th position in the table with 45 points, ten less than the seventh-placed Brighton and the place that leads to the qualification for the Conference League. In the last seven league matches, they registered two wins and as many as five losses. In the FA Cup, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals by Manchester United with a score of 3:1.
Andreas Pereira and Tim Ream missed the last league match, and they will not be ready for the next match either. In addition to them, Layvin Kurzawa is also out of the protocol due to a severe knee injury, as well as Aleksandar Mitrović, who will play the last match of his suspension.
Harrison Reed is expected to play in the midfield instead of Saša Lukić in Fulham’s starting line-up, while Kenny Tete should replace Cedric Soares in the full-back position. But we still have to see the decision of coach Marco Silva.
Leicester Team News
In the last league game, Leicester played a draw with Everton at home, and the result was 2:2. In the 15th minute, a penalty was awarded to the visiting team, which they converted. Seven minutes later, the home team equalized through Caglar Soyuncu. Within eleven minutes, they turned the score in their favor, and the scorer was Jamie Vardy. In stoppage time in the first half, James Maddison missed a penalty. In the 54th minute, the guests equalized, and after that goal, the score remained unchanged.
Leicester is currently in 16th position in the table with 30 points won, the same number as Nottingham Forest, which is in the relegation zone. They are fighting for survival and need a positive result in this match. In the last three league matches, they registered one win and two draws.
For the next match against Fulham, the visiting team should be stronger for Jonny Evans and Ricardo Pereira, as both have recovered from injuries. Out of the protocol will be Ryan Bertrand, Jannik Vestergaard, James Justin, and Kelechi Iheanacho. All other players will be available to coach Dean Smith.
Pereira should take Luke Thomas’ place in the starting line-up, while Tete should return to the team and play from the start of the match. But we have to see.
Fulham vs Leicester H2H
In the 19th round of the Premier League, these two teams played against each other, and Fulham triumphed with a score of 0:1.

Fulham vs Leicester Prediction
Although Fulham are the hosts in this game and have an advantage due to their standings, we expect a draw or a win for Leicester. Currently, they are in better form, they need a win more than the home team to stay in the league, while on the other hand, it is impossible for Fulham to reach seventh place. In addition, we believe that there will be more than 1.5 goals in the match because both teams are quite efficient.
