Leicester City vs Fulham FC, English Premier League 2024-25, Today Match Prediction

Leicester City vs Fulham FC Match Prediction & Analysis

Leicester City are in a dire situation, with six consecutive losses under manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy. Their lack of goals and defensive frailties are major concerns. The team's spirit seems broken, and another managerial change could be imminent. The Foxes face a tough battle to avoid relegation.

Fulham's eight-game unbeaten run came to an end with a defeat against West Ham. Despite dominating possession, they struggled to convert their chances. While a Champions League spot remains a distant dream, securing a place in a European competition would be a successful season for Marco Silva's team.

Head to Head Record: Both teams have played each other 11 times. The Foxes have won 2, the Cottagers have won 6, with 3 draws being played out. 

Current Standings: Leicester are in 19th with 14 points. Fulham are in 9th with 30 points. 

TEAMS PREVIEW

Leicester City Preview

The Foxes sixth straight defeat pushed Ruud Van Nistlerooy to make his first signing of his Leciecester tenure. French right-back Woyo Coulibaly has joined on a 4 and a half year deal from Parma in a deal worth 3 million pounds. The Foxes need the young Frenchman’s expertise right away, having now kept only 1 clean sheet in 21 Premier League appearances. 

Coulibaly is powerful, strong and quick - deemed the right replacement for Ricardo who has sustained a long-term injury. The Dutch boss has plenty more additions to make to this newly promoted side. The team is in desperate need of a centre-back and striker to complete and complement it. 

Injury - Hermansen, Ndidi, Pereira, Fatawu and Vestergaard are out. 

Leicester probable XI - Stolarczyk (GK), Justin, Faes, Vestergaard, Kristiansen (DEF), Winks, Soumare, El Khannouss, Mavididi, Buonanotte (MID), Vardy (FWD).

Fulham FC Preview

The Cottagers have won all three fixtures in recent times against the foxes by an aggregate of 8 goals. Marco Silva’s front line has been lethal this season with Raul Jimenez the most decorated Mexican attacker in the Premier League. Fulham have had 212 shots at their opponents with 103 on target, scoring 32 goals in the process. Antonee Robinson has been instrumental for the Cottagers this season. Only Mohamad Salah (13) and Bukayo Saka (10) have more assists than the American International. 

Apart from Lazio’s Nuno Tavares, Robinson is the only player to record multiple assists in two games in a top 5 European League. Marco Silva will have to quickly ponder his position concerning the left back with interests from various clubs. It was shocking to see West Ham end Fulham’s unbeaten (8) run in the Premier League. Before that only Liverpool and Arsenal were on longer runs. 

Injury - Nelson, Tete, Muniz and Berge are out. 

Fulham Probable XI - Leno (GK), Castagne, Bassey, Andersen, Robinson (DEF), Pereira, Lukic, Wilson, Smith-Rowe, Iwobi (MID), Jimenez (FWD). 

LEICESTER CITY vs FULHAM FC
Winning Prediction

It was completely unexpected seeing Fulham succumb to a loss against West Ham, but that’s the reason why the Hammers have appointed a specialist in Graham Potter. It was only the Cottagers 5th loss of the season. Performance has been exceptional, with only minor errors leading to unwanted outcomes. Leicester are in a state of flux, and could with Southampton be heading for the Championship unless more purchases in the market are made. Raul Jimenez will take every opportunity to capitalise on a lacklustre Leicester.
