Tottenham v Fulham: Goals looks best bet in London derby | OneFootball

Tottenham v Fulham

Spurs rocking after poor run

Tottenham have arguably played the two best teams in Europe in the last week. The overall school report was that they were shocking in the heavy defeat to Arsenal in the North London derby at the Emirates while there was some credit to be taken in the Champions League defeat away to holders Paris-Saint Germain.

But the bottom line is that they conceded nine times across those two games. Yes, they scored three times in Paris and twice held the lead but when that 5-3 loss is added to what has gone previously, this is pretty grim stuff.

Tottenham's last 12 games show five defeats, four draws and just three wins. They've also conceded 11 times in the last three outings.

Then there's the little matter of their home form which is a long-term problem. In 2025, Tottenham have lost nine times in front of their own fans and managed just three wins.

Fulham have flopped on the road

On all those above stats, Spurs are there for the taking. And yet, Fulham look to be just about the worst team to cash in given their shocking away form this season.

Only Arsenal and Manchester City (5) have more home wins than the Cottagers (4) this season. But while 13 points at home is a healthy haul, they've only picked up one on the road.

The full away section of the Premier League table shows Fulham win no wins, one draw, five defeats, four goals scored and 13 conceded. One away point is the same as rock-bottom Wolves.

Avoid match market

While Fulham haven't won away at Spurs since 2013 (Dimitar Berbatov scoring the goal against his former team),  they're unbeaten in the last three head-to-heads with their London rivals.

The home games have done the heavy lifting in that stat (2-0 and 3-0 wins at Craven Cottage) but they did well to earn a point last season after Tom Cairney levelled and was then later sent off in a 1-1 draw.

For this one, Tottenham are 5/4 to bank all three points while Fulham are 23/10 and The Draw 12/5.

However, the match market seems one to avoid. Basically, you're backing a side with just one home top-flight win this season (only Wolves have fewer) against an opponent with only a single point on the road. How can you have any confidence in either?

Go for goals

Three of Fulham's last four away games have featured three or more goals (the other one had two) and they have the third worst defensive record on the road.

Spurs certainly have players who can hit the net and Tottenham's last two home games have seen four goals apiece - the 4-0 win over Copenhagen and the 2-2 draw with Manchester United.

Add in the added atmosphere of an 8pm kick-off and I like going Over 2.5 Goals here at 20/23.

Duo can combine in OddsBoost

A first look at the goalscorer markets should probably lead us to Richarlison, who now has three in three after his strike at PSG. That run includes his worldie against Arsenal so there's scope to back the Brazilian - currently in one of his 'on' spells - at 17/10 anytime.

But for a second bet, I'll focus on two other strikers.

The punt is to be found in the OddsBoost section where Raul Jimenez & Randal Kolo Muani to have 1 or more shots on target each has been pumped up from 11/10 to 11/8.

Kolo Muani has taken time to settle but found his feet back on familiar turf when scoring twice against parent club PSG on Wednesday night. Hopefully the French forward can kick on here.

Jimenez got the winner against Sunderland last week and was also on target for Mexico three days earlier.
