Fulham vs West Ham Prediction 4 March 2026
🔊 In the 29th round of the English Premier League, Fulham will host the struggling West Ham at their home ground, Craven Cottage. The Cottagers have claimed victory in their last three matches. Can Nuno Espirito Santo's side challenge them and climb out of the relegation zone? Let's explore these questions together.
Head-to-Head
📊 At the end of December, during the first round of the current season, Fulham secured a hard-fought victory, scoring the decisive goal in the 85th minute (1-0). Another head-to-head clash in 2025 saw the Hammers come out on top (3-2). Overall, matches between these teams are always quite balanced, with neither side taking on the role of clear favorite.
Head-to-head statistics Fulham - West Ham
Fulham Team Overview
This season, Marco Silva has assembled a commendable squad. The lineup features several renowned players who have played for top clubs, and Silva himself is adept at finding effective combinations. Fulham currently sit ninth in the league table with 40 points. The main issue for the team lies at the back: the defenders are not always as reliable as one would hope, resulting in 42 goals conceded.
It's worth noting that Fulham are particularly strong at home: they have won 8 out of 14 matches at Craven Cottage. The team has scored 24 goals there-just over half of their total tally (40). In the last round, for instance, the Cottagers defeated a Champions League Round of 16 participant, Tottenham, with a score of 2-1 on their home turf.

West Ham United Team Overview
West Ham are a bundle of problems this season. The issues are significant-if they continue at this pace, the club risks relegation to the Championship by the end of the season. In the last round, the Hammers suffered a heavy defeat to Liverpool (2-5). Defensive struggles are evident, having conceded 54 goals-the second-worst record after their table neighbor, Burnley.
However, there's still hope for West Ham fans: in 2026, the team has shown improvement, earning points in 5 out of 9 Premier League matches and even securing a spot in the FA Cup Round of 16. They are just two points away from the safe 17th position, and with several seasoned players in the squad, things aren't entirely bleak.

Latest news
Fulham
🎙 Head coach Marco Silva expressed great satisfaction with his team following their victory over Tottenham in the last round: "In terms of the result, I believe we deserved those three points. As for the scoreline, it should have been different, considering the number of chances we created," said the Portuguese manager.
❌ Three players missed the last match: Kevin (foot), Sasa Lukic (hamstring), and Joachim Andersen (illness). The Brazilian has undergone surgery and will be sidelined for several weeks. A fresh and significant blow is Harry Wilson, who is dealing with an ankle injury. The Welshman's participation in the upcoming fixture is doubtful.
West Ham United
🎙 Here's how the head coach assessed the game against Liverpool (2-5): "We had sharpness, created chances, combined well, and defended effectively-until the set-pieces. Those really defined the game. As part of the coaching staff, I'm disappointed. We worked on this aspect and made significant progress in not conceding," Nuno Espírito Santo said at the press conference.
❌ Backup goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski, who hasn't played a single match this season, will miss the game due to injury. Meanwhile, midfielder Freddie Potts, who has 19 appearances, will be sidelined due to suspension.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee for the match is Matt Donohue, who doesn't shy away from disciplining players. In just three matches he's officiated, he's shown an average of five yellow cards. As for the teams, the hosts receive an average of 2.07 yellow cards per game, while the visitors see 1.7. In their last three head-to-head encounters, there have been more than 3.5 yellow cards shown. Given Donohue's track record, this threshold might be exceeded once again.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Fulham tend to be more aggressive in the second half. Out of their 40 goals, they've netted 25 after the break. West Ham, on the other hand, often struggle after halftime, conceding a significant number of goals-34 to be exact, which is more than half of their total. This leads us to a well-founded prediction that Fulham will score in the second half.
🚩 Corner Kicks Prediction
Let's analyze Fulham's corner kick stats. On average, they earn 5.2 corners per match, which is more than West Ham. There's also an interesting trend: at home, Fulham have outperformed their opponents in corners in 8 out of 14 matches, while the Hammers have lost this battle in half of their away games. We suggest betting on Fulham to win the corner count.
Editor's Prediction
As we've noted earlier, both teams boast a roster of high-caliber players. These aren't sides that will look to play it safe, so we can expect an exciting and high-scoring encounter. We predict the match will end with a 2-1 victory for Fulham, as the visitors' defense seems particularly sluggish.
Both teams are likely to find the back of the net: Marco Silva's side has scored in each of their last three matches, while the Hammers netted twice against a formidable Liverpool in their previous outing. We suggest betting on both teams to score - both teams to score (yes). There has been a goal exchange in five consecutive home matches for the Cottagers in the Premier League.
