Fulham vs West Ham United Betting Tips: Latest odds, team news, preview and predictions

Fulham face West Ham United in a crucial clash at Craven Cottage on Saturday evening.

Claudio Ranieri's men are rooted to the foot of the Premier League table and are desperate for a positive result as they battle to beat the drop.

The Hammers are in fine form, though, and Manuel Pellegrini's side have a fourth successive victory in their sights as they cross the capital to visit west London.

Latest odds

Fulham are chalked up as a 15/8 (2.88) chance with bet365 to pick up three precious points when they take on the Hammers.

The visitors are available at 11/8 (2.38) to pile yet more pressure on the hosts, while the odds compilers offer 12/5 (3.40) that both sides are forced to settle for a share of the spoils from this one.

Team news

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa will miss this match after being sent off in Fulham's 4-1 defeat against Manchester United last weekend.

Andy Carroll marked his return to action as he came off the bench last weekend, but West Ham still have a substantial injury list, with Ryan Fredericks, Winston Reid, Jack Wilshere, Andriy Yarmolenko, Manuel Lanzini, Marko Arnautovic and Carlos Sanchez all out.

Goals galore?

Fulham have conceded 40 league goals so far this season - more than any other club in the top tier - and, after leaking four goals at Old Trafford last time out, Ranieri will be desperate for a more disciplined defensive performance from his side.

West Ham, though, have scored nine goals in their last three games and bet365 offer even money (2.0) that Pellegrini's men score more than one goal in this game.

The same firm go just 4/7 (1.57) that there are goals at both ends - a selection that would have landed in five of the last six Premier League matches at Craven Cottage.

Prediction

There is plenty of potential for goals when these two rivals meet and the 10/11 (1.91) quote from bet365 for more than two goals to be scored - and for both teams to find the target - could represent real value for punters ahead of Saturday's showdown in west London.

Odds correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
