Arsenal vs Fulham Prediction 1 April 2025
🔊 Who will come out on top in the London derby during the 30th round of the English Premier League? Let's examine the pre-match scenarios ahead of this clash at the Emirates Stadium.
Head-to-Head
In their last 15 head-to-head encounters, Arsenal have secured 8 wins, drawn 5 times, and suffered 2 defeats. In the first round, the teams shared the spoils at Craven Cottage with a 1-1 draw. The Cottagers scored their only goal in the 11th minute out of virtually nothing, managing just two shots on target throughout the match. Arsenal dominated but only managed to equalize early in the second half from a corner. Interestingly, the Gunners have conceded in the second half in 6 of their last 7 home matches against Fulham. On the flip side, they've found the net in each of those instances. This suggests a bet on total goals over 1.5 in the second half.
Head-to-head statistics Arsenal - Fulham
Arsenal Team Overview
Arsenal are facing another season plagued with injuries, with Havertz, Jesus, Calafiori, and Tomiyasu all sidelined. However, Saka has made his return. In defense, it's likely that 17-year-old Lewis-Skelly will feature again; he recently became the youngest debutant goalscorer for England after netting against Albania. In their last four Premier League matches, Arsenal have found the net just twice. They managed to salvage a draw against Manchester United (1-1) and, in the previous round, clinched a narrow victory over Chelsea (1-0) despite limited scoring opportunities, thanks to a goal from newly-promoted forward Merino.
Match Results: Arsenal
Fulham Team Overview
Fulham are a mid-table side in the Premier League, trailing the European spots by just 2 points. The team delivers uncompromising results: since mid-January, they have secured 5 wins and suffered 4 losses. On Saturday, Fulham played another London derby against Crystal Palace in the FA Cup quarter-finals. The Cottagers dominated possession and took twice as many shots on goal, yet they lost 3-0. Nelson, Tete, and Wilson remain sidelined due to injuries.

🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for this match is John Brooks, who has officiated 13 Premier League games this season. In the Fulham vs Everton match, he handed out just one yellow card, whereas in the Arsenal vs Newcastle clash, he issued eight warnings. On average, Brooks shows 5.38 yellow cards per game this season.
Fulham tend to receive more yellow cards (2.2 compared to 2). Matches involving these teams see an average of 4.3 bookings. Considering the referee's statistics, betting on over 3.5 total yellow cards seems a reasonable choice.
⚽ Goal Predictions
Fulham's matches are often high-scoring affairs. In 9 of their last 10 away games, they have both scored and conceded. Therefore, we suggest betting on both teams to score (Yes). This outcome has also occurred in 6 of the last 7 head-to-head encounters at the Emirates.
🚩 Corner Predictions
Arsenal have the edge in corners this season (6.5 compared to 5.4). The average total number of corners in matches involving these teams is just under 10. However, in 9 consecutive games featuring Fulham, there have been at least 10 corners. Hence, considering a bet on over 9.5 total corners is worth exploring.
Editor's Prediction
Arsenal are the favorites, bolstered by having more preparation time. Fulham, after some players returned from international duty, had a disappointing FA Cup match. However, Fulham have a favorable head-to-head record, having not lost to the Gunners in two years (1 win and 2 draws). A reasonable prediction for the scoreline is 2-1.
Chances for the visitors might be limited, but with efficient finishing, they could find the net, as they did in the first round. Expecting a goal fest from Arsenal is challenging due to the absence of several attacking players. Therefore, our main bet recommendation is Fulham to win with a +1.5 handicap. This bet has come through in Fulham's last 17 away Premier League matches.
