Confidence: 4 out of 5
Fulham vs Tottenham Match Preview
Fulham, currently residing in the middle of the Premier League table with 37 points, enter this home fixture off a notable 3-1 victory at Sunderland that should have boosted team confidence and morale. Their form at Craven Cottage this season has been solid, with several home wins contributing to a strong home record. The Cottagers have also had recent success against Tottenham, including an away win earlier in the season, which adds to their confidence heading into this clash.
Tottenham have seen a nightmarish run of results and form heading into March. New manager Igor Tudor has acknowledged the tough task he faces after a 4-1 loss in the North London derby left Spurs low on confidence and still awaiting their first Premier League win of 2026. This Spurs squad has been hit by a long injury list and suspension issues, with several key players unavailable, which complicates their preparations for this London derby showdown. But even without a full squad, being in 16th place and just four points clear of the drop zone is unfathomable for a club that claims to be one of the Big Six in England.
Team news suggests Fulham may benefit from the potential returns of Samuel Chukwueze and Saša Lukić, while Marco Silva assesses Kevin’s fitness after a knock sustained in the Sunderland game. Tottenham have seen Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso return to training, providing some welcome news, but remain without several key players including Destiny Udogie, Mohammed Kudus, and Dejan Kulusevski. Cristian Romero also misses out due to suspension. These selection challenges could limit Spurs’ ability to compete effectively at Craven Cottage and place more responsibility on their remaining players to step up.
Amazingly, Spurs have been a little worse than their current numbers would suggest. They have underperformed relative to their expected goals for and against, which seems like it should be impossible given how poor they have been on the actual scoreboard this season. But this Spurs season has only gone against expectations in negative ways and Tottenham needs to get a win in the worst way to avoid getting dragged further into a relegation fight.
Betting Insights
- Spurs have been outscored 8-2 over their last three games.

Fulham vs Tottenham Prediction
At this point, I wouldn’t bet Tottenham to win a match with someone else’s money. Spurs have been dreadful in every sense of the world and I just can’t see that stopping on the road as the pressure of a relegation fight ramps up. According to BetMGM, Spurs are down to +400 to be relegated, and I think they will lose here to make talk of their lack of safety grow louder. I also think we will see both teams score for those who want to play the BTTS market.
