A London derby between Fulham and Bolton on Wednesday for Premier league. While Bolton needs nothing here, Fulham has to at least get a point
Fulham, currently taking the 13th position in the table with 39 points, has a home record of W7 D6 L3. Fulham is the team with the most draw games this season, achieving 15 ties in 33 matches. However from the last 5 home games, Fulham achieved 4 victories and 1 draw against Chelsea. Fulham is one of the top five best defensive team, conceding an average of 1.0909 Goals per match.
Bolton comes in this London derby, from another, the one against Arsenal on Monday which they’ve won with 2:1. With 46 points in 33 games, the team has a chance to replace Everton on the 7th spot, if they manage to get a victory here. That however looks difficult as Bolton’s away record is W2 D5 L9, and the team hasn’t won an away Premier league game since November 13th 2010. From that day on until now, the team has drawn 1 and lost 8 away fixtures in the league.
The first game this season, between both teams was Mark Hughes first away game as Fulham’s manager, a match that ended 0:0. A victory today would place the team right below Bolton on the 9th position moving Cottagers 4 place up.
Bolton has never won a game here in a Premier league match. Their most recent victory however was on February 20th 2011 in an FA Cup fixture, which Wanderers won with 0:1.
This is however what their visits in the Premier league look like on Craven Cottage:
28/11/2009 Fulham vs. Bolton 1:1
13/09/2008 Fulham vs. Bolton 2:1
15/08/2007 Fulham vs. Bolton 2:1
23/08/2006 Fulham vs. Bolton 1:1
27/11/2005 Fulham vs. Bolton 2:1
21/08/2004 Fulham vs. Bolton 2:0
06/12/2003 Fulham vs. Bolton 2:1
17/08/2002 Fulham vs. Bolton 4:1
23/04/2002 Fulham vs. Bolton 3:0
A total of seven victories, two draws and no losses yet for Fulham since 2002. My prediction for this match would be Fulham to grab the 3 points here.
