Fulham vs Tottenham Prediction 1 March 2026
🔊 March 1st in the Premier League features two London derbies, with one set to take place at Craven Cottage. Fulham, who have climbed into the top 10, are set to host Tottenham, now under the guidance of Igor Tudor, as they attempt to pull themselves out of a steep nosedive. The Spurs have not secured a league victory since 2025, enduring a nine-match winless streak. Meanwhile, the Cottagers are eager to exploit the visitors' vulnerabilities and aim for their first league double over their fierce neighbors since the 2003/04 season. Will they succeed?
Head-to-Head
📊 The first-round match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium went the way of the visitors, with Fulham clinching a 2-1 victory after netting twice in the opening six minutes. In their last six head-to-head encounters, Spurs have managed just one win. At Craven Cottage last season, the hosts also came out on top with a 2-0 scoreline. The stats stubbornly favor the Cottagers.
Head-to-head statistics Fulham - Tottenham
Fulham Team Overview
Marco Silva's team currently sits tenth. After suffering three consecutive league defeats, the Cottagers have bounced back to winning ways, choosing a rather unexpected moment to do so. They netted three goals against Sunderland (3-1), securing a victory at the Stadium of Light. This is a feat that many top teams have struggled to achieve this season.
Raul Jimenez bagged a brace, while Alex Iwobi contributed with a goal and an assist. The match was evenly contested across the board, but the Cottagers were simply more clinical in front of goal. Now, it's crucial for them to replicate this form on home turf, where they typically don't face such issues. In 4 of their last 5 matches at Craven Cottage, they have scored over 1.5 goals, faltering only against Everton (1-2), who have been surprisingly strong on the road.

Tottenham Hotspur Team Overview
The Spurs find themselves just four points above the relegation zone, having failed to secure a single Premier League victory in 2026, losing more than half of their matches. This crisis is one that the management believes Igor Tudor must tackle. However, doubts linger given that the Croatian coach hasn't shone in his previous roles.
In Tudor's debut match, the team was soundly defeated by Arsenal in the derby (1-4). The lone goal came from Randal Kolo Muani, who many thought should have scored a brace, but his second goal was disallowed by the referees due to a foul. Regardless, the Spurs did not deserve to earn any points, as evidenced by the disparity in shots (6-20).

Latest news
Fulham
🎙 Marco Silva ahead of the derby: "I know their current position is below their standards, and this season hasn't been their best. But I have enough experience and maturity to understand that underestimating an opponent in such matches is very dangerous. I hope we don't give them a good day and play at our best level. We've won our recent matches against the 'Spurs' because we were better, and we need to prove that again on the field this Sunday."
❌ Major blow - Kevin's injury. The Brazilian winger sustained an injury in the match against Sunderland and will be out for a few weeks. Antonee Robinson (ankle), Sasa Lukic (thigh), and Samuel Chukwueze (calf) are doubtful.
Tottenham Hotspur
🎙 Igor Tudor on the team's condition: "In Italy, they use the term 'small team mentality.' This is key - to have the desire and motivation as if you're playing against the big teams. Right now, there's no time to think about performance or style. We need to approach each game with the mindset: how do we get points? One way or another."
❌ Pedro Porro and Kevin Danso have returned to the training squad and are ready to play. However, the list of absentees remains daunting. Cristian Romero continues to serve his four-match suspension. Dejan Kulusevski, James Maddison, Destiny Udogie, Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Bergvall, Ben Davies, Wilson Odobert, and Rodrigo Bentancur are all sidelined due to injuries.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The main referee is Thomas Bramall. On average, he hands out 3.9 yellow cards per Premier League match this season. However, in recent matches, this figure has increased significantly to 5.2. Spurs need to fight for points at any cost, and Tudor explicitly mentions the necessity to "dig in" for results. Fulham average 2.04 bookings per game, while Tottenham lead the league with 2.52. Therefore, betting on over 3.5 yellow cards seems a solid option.
⚽ Goal Predictions
Fulham are highly productive at home. Not only do the Cottagers score more than a goal per game in the vast majority of their recent home fixtures, but they have also achieved this feat in 3 out of their last 4 head-to-heads against Tottenham. Considering Spurs' defensive woes, partly due to personnel issues, a bet on over 1.5 goals for the hosts certainly warrants attention.
🚩 Corner Predictions
At home, Fulham average 5.23 corners per match, while Tottenham average 4.46 on the road. The total corner count in Fulham's matches stands at 9.9, with Spurs at 10.3. Head-to-head stats confirm this trend: the teams have earned over 9.5 corners in their last three meetings in a row. It's a strong bet, as it has also come through in 7 of Fulham's last 8 Premier League games.
Editorial Prediction
Fulham find themselves in a much more comfortable position: European ambitions, home advantage, and an impressive head-to-head record. Tottenham, on the other hand, are struggling both mentally and physically, and even the return of Porro and Danso won't patch all the gaps. However, the Spurs tend to perform better away from home, and Igor Tudor promises a fight.
Fulham have not kept a clean sheet in their last 11 matches, consistently conceding but also finding the net regularly. Betting on both teams to score has paid off in six of their last seven Premier League games at Craven Cottage. Tottenham have picked up 19 points on the road this season, scoring twice in three of their last four away games.
Summing up, we anticipate an open game with goals from both sides and a victory for the hosts. Our main pick is both teams to score (yes), with a predicted scoreline of 2-1.
