Fulham vs West Ham Form and Head to Head
Fulham enter this fixture on the back of a morale-boosting 2-1 victory over Tottenham in their last Premier League outing. This result sees the Cottagers in a strong run of form, having won two consecutive matches and showing a recent tendency for high-scoring games, with over 2.5 goals being scored in their last six Premier League fixtures. Across their last six matches, Fulham have managed three wins and three losses, indicating an inconsistent but capable side.
West Ham, meanwhile, suffered a heavy 5-2 defeat away to Liverpool in their most recent league game, highlighting their struggles this season. The Hammers' recent form has been concerning, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches across all competitions.
Their away form in the league has also been poor, with the team currently on a streak of one loss, following a draw and another loss. They will need to rediscover their defensive solidity to stand any chance against an in-form Fulham side.
The most recent encounter between these two London rivals saw Fulham clinch a narrow 1-0 victory away at West Ham in December 2025. This result contributes to a fairly balanced head-to-head record over their last six Premier League meetings.
In these encounters, Fulham have secured three wins, West Ham two, with one match ending in a draw. Interestingly, six of their last seven home matches for Fulham against West Ham in all competitions have seen under 2.5 goals scored, suggesting these derby clashes at Craven Cottage tend to be tight affairs.

Fulham vs West Ham Team News
Fulham face some injury concerns ahead of the derby. Kevin is set for a lengthy spell on the sidelines and may require surgery for a foot problem. Additionally, Harry Wilson, listed in the probable lineup, is doubtful after sustaining a foot injury against Tottenham. However, Joachim Andersen is expected to return to the squad after recovering from illness that kept him out of the Spurs game.
West Ham's squad also has its share of absentees. Freddie Potts will miss the match as he completes a three-match ban. Pablo is still struggling with a calf problem and remains unavailable. Veteran goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski is also sidelined due to injury. These absences could significantly impact the visitors' depth and defensive stability.

Fulham vs West Ham Match Prediction
This London derby is expected to be a close one between Fulham and West Ham United.
Fulham have been solid at home and are dangerous when attacking from the wings or fighting back after going behind. Their pressing can force mistakes, but they sometimes get caught offside and can struggle against aerial balls and quick through passes.
West Ham have shown quality on the counter but have had problems keeping the ball and creating clear scoring chances. Their defence has also looked vulnerable, especially against long shots and set pieces.
With both sides having strengths that cancel each other out and a history of tight games at Craven Cottage, a 1-1 draw feels like a fair result.
Prediction: Fulham 1-1 West Ham
