Fulham Team News
Fulham players achieved an important victory in the London derby against Crystal Palace. As guests, they won 3-0 and it was their sixth victory of the season. They took advantage of the fact that two opposing players were sent off due to red cards and routinely won.
Aleksandar Mitrovic shone once again. He scored again, the tenth in the current competitive year. In addition to rejoining the list of scorers, he also recorded one assist. With this performance, the Serbian shooter just continued where he left off before the start of the World Cup.
The Cottagers’ home games are generally quite efficient. In the first eight matches, 27 goals were scored, which is over 3.5 goals per game. We believe that such a trend will continue on Saturday.
Southampton Team News
Southampton footballers experienced another setback in the last round. At their stadium, they were defeated by Brighton 1-3 and thus experienced the tenth failure of the season in the Premier League. The change of coach definitely did not improve the game, at least for now.
Youth and inexperience are the main weaknesses of the Saints this season. Their squad is the youngest in the entire competition, which can be disastrous at the end of the season. The team management will have to be active during January on the transfer market and sign some experienced individuals, otherwise, Southampton will have a hard time saving themselves from relegation in the Championship.
The defensive line of this team is very vulnerable. They have conceded at least three goals in each of their last three games which is a devastating performance. Given that Fulham plays very well in the offensive phase, Southampton’s defense will be seriously tested on Saturday.

Fulham vs Southampton Prediction
We expect an efficient and open match. We believe that the offensive lines of both teams are of better quality than the defensive lines. This is especially true of Fulham and we believe the Cottagers will score at least two goals.
